Verification of an AD Ranger

Post by Exoph »

I'm looking to verify someone who claims to be a Ranger with 2nd battalion. His name is (name deleted) and says he is a Staff Sergeant. A lot of guys who want to be Rangers worship the ground he walks on, and he definitely lets everyone know he was a Ranger. That bothers me, a lot of kids who don't know any better parading him around and he doesn't seem like a Ranger at all. he also says he's at USAREC as a regiment recruiter, i'm not sure if that's a thing or not. thanks for any info you can give me!


Admin note: Name deleted by Steadfast.
Do not list names of Active Duty Soldiers on this site. If a Ranger asks for this Staff Sergeants name you may PM (private message) him the information.

Justin, Your introduction is unacceptable. You need to tell us who you are, how old you are and where you are living. Do not tell us your full name. Your second post is being held pending your resubmission of an introduction.

Friday my two mile run was 13:32

100 crunches

I was originially just looking into the marines so i'm not sure if that's how the Army does PFT's.

May I quote an excerpt from Ranger Jim's post above yours:

I just did a search on google and took the 2nd one of APFT & got a link - which you could have done with some minor research.

Always include pull ups with your APFT.
