That's a start and as we all know, you have to start somewhere. I was just trying to ensure that your expectations were realistic. Be patient and be prepared to repeat the process once, twice or more.archangel wrote:FUCK. Company commander signed the 4187 Ranger SilverbackWhich commander?

How did I do it. Filled out a 4187. DUH! If you mean how did i get my CO to sign it, thats simple. Never been in any real trouble. My chain of command supports me and made it clear to the commander that I am a top notch soldier, not a sack of shit, and my counseling packet reflects that. I give everything I do 110%. Im HIGHLY motivated and I take the inititive. That doesnt mean the BC and Brigade CO will sign it. But it all starts with one thing...I WALKED MY ASS DOWN TO THE PAC OFFICE AND GOT A 4187 AND FILLED THAT FUCKER OUT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR RIP TO MAGICALLY FALL IN MY LAP! YOU WANT SOMETHING? MAKE IT HAPPEN YOURSELF!
That help?
::Personal Update::
The BC got back from leave yesterday. He was out when i turned in the 4187 to the CO. Hope to hear whether it was approved or not by the time I return from leave, Jan 2.

Good start. Never quit. I only had something over six years of service when I finally got a Ranger School slot. Be patient.

Ranger Matador275,
Negitive on any update at this time. Im currently on leave and expect a go/no go answer by the time I get back. Otherwise I intend to pursue another option for getting to RIP. In the mean time PT all day everyday

Good attitude. I have always found that you hope for things in the Army to go fast, but they usually don't. Then when you least expect it, you have your slot or whatever and you have to be in shape mentally and physically to make it. You staying in shape and keeping a positive attitude is excellent behaviour and will get you there Bro!
Update: Found out why I havent heard anything about my 4187. It wasnt turned in. Reason...Im a Dumbass. I thought that after it was signed by my CO it would be sent through my chain of command. But I didnt know I had to take it to PAC myself after it was signed. Im a Dumbass and Im kicking my ass(and my upperbody) for it. Turned it in 5 minutes after my PSG corrected me. So hopefully now Ill hear something in the next few weeks or so. In the meantime an outstanding opportunity literally fell in my lap today. PreRanger. I have a up to date physical and Im just waiting for a class date. Im physically ready and I just finished checking to make sure i have everything on the packing list. Excited just doesnt really say it. But its a great thing to watch a plan come together.
