This should be a good lesson for you kid, learn to be humble, quiet, and professional, until there's a need to be otherwise.
Guys that have been doing this for a while will smell your shit a mile away and blackball you through your entire career, could get awful lonely out there.
Ranger Cams,
That was the nicest thing I've ever seen you type. :D Are you OK?

Thank you Sarnt Major, that's exactly right.

Short update, although I'm not sure if anyone even cares now:
Passed the last MOD with an 88 and the Final today with a 96. The hands on assessments are tomorrow and Thursday which I'm not too worried about.
NREMT Test is the Thursday after this one, I've picked up a study guide recommended to me by other medics to prepare myself.
Injuries are pretty much healed but I'm going to wait another week or two as broken bones can be tricky and I really don't want to be set back any further.
Interestingly enough I saw a Ranger at reception today, tan beret and it appeared that he was scrolled but I didn't have an opportunity to speak with him. Battles buddies that I have spoke with him and he said that the training was "easy", I was suprised to see the tan beret in a training environment to say the least.

The areas in bold are good for a SitRep the rest is bullshit. Update your sitrep, no one here wants to hear your opinion or unconfirmed speculation from YOUR peers who also happen to know little to nothing about anything.

Sill and partied for two days in town then reported in on Sunday when my orders stated (per a Captain's orders who was on the plane with me just back from Iraq.) Great town.
Beleive it or not AIT is MURDER compared to basic training. The first day we were here PT was a frigg'n holocaust, 600 somthing push ups, 300 somthing cobra push ups, a 12 mile run and muscle failure exercises we'd never even heard of!
Our bodies are adjusting now and I'm glad that they work us so hard, the cadre here do more in an hour then the cadre at Ft. Sill did in 3 months, it's fantastic to finally have somone to look up to that actually seems to care about the soldiers under them.
A bone scan revealed I have an acute fracture to my left calcanus (heel bone), the Cpt. working on me at PT said it looks like somone took a steel toe boot and kicked it to snap it. I also have stress fractures to the femoral neck of my right hip as a result of having a broken calcanus for so long.
They wanted to send me to Golf company for PTRP but I have no pain and my bones are almost healed, I had to prove it to the senior Drill SGT. by jumping around before she was convinced I'm healing at a quick rate and my Physical Therpist thinks I'll be fine in two weeks, only profile I'd accept is a no impact exercises and no running profile, they wanted me on crutches at first.
Anyway, things are good here, the PT is awesome and we're getting a head start on classes because of how long we're being held at Reception, we'll be shipping on Sunday, can't wait! I've heard the company we're in is hardcore, most of the soldiers I've talked to who are graduating from it went into extended scale PT!
Post more when they allow it.

Good advice DBS. Heed it. You have wandered into a very small world.
