Remember a great deal of the information that young soldiers get before and during RIP is designed to get those who are not truely motivated to quit so they don't waste time evaluating those who claim they are Ranger Type Personnel.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS, STRONG CHARACTER, PHYSICAL FITNESS, AND OVERALL INTELLIGENCE is what will see you through.

Those who are weak will use the first excuse they can find in order to "save face" (so they think) before they QUIT!

Congrats on your turnin BLUE GravityMan, you keep your eyes on your goal and don't bother takin time to even think about those who have QUIT, THEY'RE WEAK. Concentrate on improving your physical fitness, knockout elevated pushups anytime and everytime you aren't doin anything else and make us proud!!!

Good luck to you Soldier 8)

They told us that BS too, and a bunch of guys dropped their contracts.

Good to hear your voice again T Kim. Keep your focus on your objective and drive on. Thanks for the sitrep.
