Graduated WTC, going to be dropped in the 4th week of Infantry OSUT. (For some reason all prior service have to repeat most of "basic training")

It is never too soon to get in touch with the 75th RR liaison once you get to Benning.

Fair weather friend Judas... :lol:

Yeah just kidding and Good luck. Seriously.

If the ground huggers on this site are indicative of the people you will be serving with, there isn't better company on this planet.

There are numerous threads/questions about boot types in the RASP Forum. They should answer any questions you have about it, from young Rangers that have just completed the course to RASP/RIP Instructors.

Good luck.
