My Introduction

Post by DEP5796 »

Hi, My name is Erick, I am 17 years old graduate high school in 4 days and am currently in the Army DEP. I hold an 11x Option 40 contract and aspire to become a Ranger. I ship September 22, 2004 for Benning. I am just trying to prepare physically and mentally for the many challenges that await me. I respect Rangers. Wish me luck as I embark on my journey.

Eric-

This site doesn't consider you a 'soldier' until you have successfully graduated from Basic. I've changed your user name to DEP5796 to reflect that. I'll be happy to switch it back for you after you graduate OSUT.
You are free to select an avatar from the DEP/Option 40 Gallery.

Welcome to armyranger.com. This site has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and information which can hopefully assist you in your quest to reach Ranger status. Good luck and never quit!

Sorry about the soldier thing. Didnt mean to cause any trouble. Hey blacksrt4 you start a week before me. Maybe you will get held up a week or so either in basic airborne or RiP who knows. If so we might see eachother. My OSUT starts 10/01/04
