New nute introduction- Dylan

[smokeeater1061]

Roger that and thank you Ranger Cams. Yes I have looked at the standards and believe it was a lack of attention to detail, I have since had Bronco square me away.I understand that Rangering has never been easy, my father is almost 100% disabled, has shrapnel and gravel embedded in his back and has to walk around like hes still carrying a full ruck. I know im not meeting the standards yet, but knowing the shape I was in last year and how far I've come Im not stopping for nothing now. when I run I dont care if its hot cold 10 below or 110, I run because I know its going to be tough to earn the Ranger Scroll and tougher to keep it, But I would not want to fight with anyother men than those who have voluntarily put themselves through that ordeal. I know that Ranger missions are as hard and harder than Ranger training. I will not give in, up or out. My body will go farther, faster and fucking own the day. My mind is strong and will be stronger. Surrender is not a Ranger Word. and dont let my non Ranger words sway you, as Ranger Affirm was 110% right let my actions speak for themselves. Thank you for your words of experience and the motivation that comes with it Ranger Cams, Ranger Affirm, Ranger Jim.

Roger than Ranger ManchuV will start these workouts tomorrow, I dont drink soda's and have an ok diet but there is room for improvement and I will work on that aswell ( already no fast foods,verylimitedsugars) I am sure this will help my scores quite abit, I really appreciate the time you took to put this together. I will be checking out the local crossfit after reading what some Rangers have commented on about it. I will be using the advice given here and incorporate the training mentioned by Ranger ManchuV. Thank you.

Is this the order of events for your Diagnostic PT test?

[smokeeater1061]

RangerTough Push ups, Sit ups, Run, Chinups.

RangerTough Push ups, Sit ups, Run, Chinups.

That is the correct order. Make sure you post your scores as such in the future.

Now for a question: Why does the Military format EVERYTHING (almost) you might communicate either by electronic means or by courier?

[smokeeater1061]

Roger that Ranger Tough, To prevent mis-communication with information like grid coordinates such as Tree, Fower, Fife, The standard format is the correct way of doing things and I should be posting my scores the correct way in the correct format to prevent misinformation and to show attention to detail and to keep things organized and to uphold the standard for everyone to know and follow so there is no miscommunication.

Good answer. I will add that when you haven't slept for 3 days it's much easier to assimilate data when you already know the order it will be presented to you.

You have been on this site over a year and we have gotten diverted. What are you doing about enlisting?

[smokeeater1061]

I am supposed to go to MEPS in the next two weeks, and will be holding out for an Option 40 slot. I recieved my tier eval back and am considered a high school grad now, also taking my 3rd semester of college and working 4 shifts a week on the fire dept. Should have my Emergency Medical Responder before I ship. Will update when I get further.

11B Option 40

Got it. Never, never quit!

[smokeeater1061]

I went to part one of the MEPS process for myself yesterday took the ASVAB and the TAPAS personality test which is now required for everyone enlisting into the army. My ASVAB AFQT is a 67 and GT of 112 with a CO of 111. I may or may not have to retake the TAPAS due to my education code, and just scoring shy of passing the third test, recruiter is going to call higher and find out. Part 1 complete, I now have to either take the tapas again or not, do my suitability review, go back for the physical portion and then get a slot. My recruiter has been focused on getting me in, and knows I will taking nothing short of Infantry and am aiming for an Option 40 contract, my AFQT should qualify me for said contract and help with my suitability review. In the meantime I finish my third semester in December, and if there is time I will take a fourth eight week semester to get me past the 24 credits needed for promotion to E2 if that even means anything. I will see if they have finished repairs at the local track and will post PT scores if they have or have not by next week at the latest. Thank you Rangers. Keeping my high motivation and driving on,one step at a time.
