Hello Hello Infantry (RANGER)

Post by Shallow Grave »

I graduate from OSUT tomorrow, had our turning blue ceremony today. It feels great to now be an infantryman but I know that this is only one step in the journey. It looks like I'll have a few weeks in airborne hold before I get to start the school. I'll use the time to do PT and get healthy. Me and the other 6 RIP contract guys in my platoon have formed a close bond and we are all focused on preparing outselves for Airborne and RIP. Thanks to all on this site who have helped me along the way, I probably wouldn't be where I am right now without you.
