Hey guys, my name is Greg, I'm 17 years old and currently a senior in high school. I have applied for the 4 year ROTC scholarship already and am hoping to hear back before new year on my status. My goal is to eventually serve as a Ranger after college.

I have not taken an official APFT, but I have self-administered one. I scored 276 (11:45 2 mile, 70 situps, and 63 push ups). I hope to raise my push up score, as I have been working on them for about a month now. A month ago I could do about 40-45, so I am making progress.

Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the site and I can't wait to learn more about the Rangers.

Welcome and thanks for your interest in an Army Ranger. That is an impressive two mile run time. Be sure to follow the rules of the site and take advantage of the resources offered here.

Welcome.

We are not "Hey Guys". The first word out of your mouth should have been Ranger or Rangers. But, you'll learn.

Inculcate yourself in this environment and community and you should have a significant advantage when you start ROTC next fall.

Won't happen again ranger 42L5V.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

No ranger Kilted Heathen, I'm not Australian.

Don't forget to capitalize "Ranger". Hopefully it was just a typo.

The devil is in the details.

Billabong81 is this comparable to smoke a bong? Or from a T Rex song?

Welcome

Come to think of it I still have that vinyl album.

@MSG Glenn
My mistake, won't happen again!

@Ranger Steadfast
Billabong is my favorite clothing company, no relation to the drug

@Ranger RTO
Thanks for the kind words and I will do my best (and then some) to reach my goal.

@ Billabong81

Stop doing that type of bullshit. You do not talk at anyone on this site. You just reply when asked to.
