Another 5 jump chump (RANGER)

Post by Bek375 »

I just graduated with Weidert from Delta Company on the 3rd. Jumping out of an airplane was defintely the most exciting thing I've ever done. As soon as the jumpmaster yells out "30 seconds", my adrenaline was rushing until I got off of the Drop Zone.

I'm in the same boat as Weidert with RIP Hold. We're not really sure what's going on, but I figure the more time we have in hold is just more time to get into better shape.

ANOTHER AIRBORNE!!!

DON'T FORGET TO PRACTICE PULL UPS! Everybody concentrates on running and push ups, but forgets the pull ups, and ends up sucking wind.

Also, use this time to work on the Ranger mindset, all you have to do now is do it. Just do it, and do it, and keep doing it until you get that Beret!
I never wore a cape, but I still have my dog tags.

Thats good advice young AIRBORNE, If I were you I'd listen to it and "just do it". Congratulations and good luck to you.
