Intro Paul

Post by manpooky »

Hello,

My name is Paul, I love my country and would love more than anything to serve, and prove that I am worthy of serving with the best. I am 21 years old, from California and going to be shipping out come October as a 11x with an option 40. I have already found vast amounts of information on this site and thought it was about time I started asking questions of my own. I mainly joined this site because like others,I seek guidance in my pursuit of obtaining the right to be a Ranger. I am a firm believer that luck favors the prepared and I want to be as prepared as I can for what is to come. Thank you for your time.

PFT score is to come for I workout weekdays and rest weekends
I will be doing a diagnostic first thing tomorrow morning.
