Advising or admitting to Road Marching in "JUMP BOOTS" is not something a ground pounder would do :shock: Please elaborate on your experience.

Hello Rangers,
I was wondering if you could help. I'm 15 years old and I do a 2-mile run everyday, 25 push ups without stopping, 30 sit ups without stopping and 45 flutter kicks without stopping. I do all that after i come home from school. I do the 2-mile run in about 16 to 18 minutes. I have extremely flat feet according to doctors so doing that run doesn't exactly feel good. So here's the few questions i have for you. Am i doing enough right now? Should i be increasing the number of miles, push ups, sit ups, flutter kicks a day? How much swimming is involved in all of ranger training? And what could i do/use to reduce the pain my feet to complete the 16 mile march? Thank you for listening.


P.S. I've been wanting to be in the Rangers since i was 8 and I've studied basic and advanced military tactics, Room clearance tactics, Demolition, All kinds of weapons, i even know some Arabic as a well. I can take an M4A1 carbine apart and put it back together, clean it, reload it. Never got to fire it though. I thought this may be useful info. It is not meant in any way shape or form to be bragging. This was just to show the commitment to being part of the US Army Rangers. I also apologize if this was put in the wrong section on your forums.
