Others speak with more authority than I can on the subject. My comment is: by all means, do take the 13F. Never, never quit!!!

Dude, take it. 13F is a great job, especially in Bn. I've seen those guys on the objective and they kick ass. If you take it, PM me. I have more info for you.

I was a 13F. Take it. Best job in the Regiment (of course, this is my opinion).

Dude, there are a bunch of threads here on this topic.
If you can think on your feet and track complex situations, this could be for you.
This is a rare opportunity, 13F doesn't open often.
Right now, there's a couple other would-be recruits in this forum who are having a tough time getting an opt.40 - any of their recruiters could've clicked on that box today instead of yours. Don't blow it.

Whatever you do, get into better shape.

Never quit, don't believe the shit house lawyers, never quit. RASP instructors don't fail anyone for no reason at all.

Start memorizing the Ranger Creed now.

O.k. stud. Good job.

Here is something you need to learn (read, memorize) that will help you remember those 15 subsequent corrections.

Memorize that, and you will always have the first letter of what you need.

If you are looking for a mentor, move out smartly to the proper area and request one.
