RGV4 is actually an assignment code that is associated with your Option-40. It means that following AIT you will attend airborne school and then RIP. Read a little more from this site.june586 wrote:Hi, my name is Timothy and 17 years old. I am a high school senior/college student graduating in May 2008 with AA degree in Liberal Arts. I have recently enlisted into the Army as a 25B with an option 40 contract, and currently in DEP. I will be going to BCT to Ft. Jackson in July 2008. It says in the contract that my first unit of assignment will be RGV4 which I hear is sort of a Ranger prep school (?).
As for the PTs, my main problem is the running (having a hard time trying to run 2 miles in 13:00 flat). Other than running, I can crank out around 100 push ups and around 80 to 90 sit ups in 2:00 each. For pull ups, I can do around 25. I am continually trying to improve my PTs and will start road marching with weights next week.
Thank you, and God bless.

Good luck June586.
Numbers wise you will be at a disadvantage by the time you get to RIP.
The success rate of "soft skill MOS's" is much lower than that of an 11 series.
With that knowledge, now you should train and prepare with that much more drive and determination.

Welcome! If you will look, listen and pay attention to details, you can learn a great deal from these Rangers who have already done it!
Good luck!

Indeed. Stop training for quantity & start training for QUALITY.Kilted Heathen wrote:Stop bullshitting us on your PT scores.
Speed will follow form.
Right now, you're doing your pushups like a monkey humping a football, bobbing your head & bouncing on your arms. Of 100 "pushups" in two minutes, you might be doing one or two good ones that a RIP instructor might count.
Have your recruiter show you the Army way, or better, find an airborne type around the recruiting station and have him show you.
As a DEP, you're expected to do a PT test before you ship, we'd like to see that score.

First off I would like to say Welcome .....100 push ups in 2 mikes?....maybe,maybe not.
Proper form is everything.....don't psych out when you hear your RIP Instructor counting them.....40,40,40,....proper form is everything.
Best of luck......many have gone before you and you can do it too.
Stay focused and stay motivated!

It's not impossible. It can be done, I went to Jackson/Gordon. But your time away from mother Benning puts you waaaaay behind the learning curve of what you will already be expected to know upon arrival at RIP.
Welcome and good luck.
