My name is David and I'm a 22 year old recent 4-year college graduate with a degree in Biology: Anatomy & Physiology. At school I played varsity soccer and captained my team during my junior and senior seasons. My brother is currently a 2nd lieutenant combat engineer in the Marine Corps Reserve and deploys to Afghanistan early in 2011. I have not yet run an Army PFT and will do so in the very near future. I have run a Navy PST with a group of special operator hopefuls in the area and recorded 80 pushups and 79 situps. The last time I ran a timed 2-mile was in August of 2009. I do not remember the exact seconds but clocked roughly 11:45. I was planning to train for approximately 1 more year before enlisting, but I would prefer to ship out in the next 6-8 months. I am going to the Army recruiter's office tomorrow to discuss signing an 11x option 40 contract in the near future.

Thank you Rangers for making this site what it is. I've already found an abundance of information available and I'm sure I have barely scratched the surface.
