intro - Josh

Post by joshua5674 »

Hi everyone my name is Josh. I'm 18 and I enlisted in the army with an 11x opt 40 contract in June. I ship October 1st and am trying like crazy to be as prepared as I can before that day comes. I have wanted to do this for a long time and am glad that I am going to get a shot. I'm looking forward to gaining some knowledge and some valuable lessons from everyone here. I'm 5'9" and weigh 160.
My pt scores are...
pushups in 2 min: 90
Situps in 2 min: 86
2 mile: 12:56
I have been rucking for a while to but haven't tested my time on the 12 mile yet.
There is a lot of room for me to Improve in every aspect and I intend to do my best to.

joshua5674, it is not up to you to give our Rangers new names. Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV is his name.
Our Rangers are proud of the names they have selected for themselves. Read their names and write them as they are written.
Do not apologize to me - perhaps you can give Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV 25 + 1 pushups to make amends to him for [you] leaving out 1FFV which incidentally stands for 1st Field Force Vietnam.

Congratulations on securing an Opt 40 contract.

PM inbound.

Thank you Ranger Ron. Also, thank you Ranger Steadfast for setting me straight for improperly stating Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV 's name. I apologize Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV and have done 25+ 1 pushups in effort to make amends for my mistake.
