I'm currently on my 36 hour pass Rangers. I'm spending it hanging out with my mom and staying the fuck out of trouble. I could also be linking up with Ranger Invictus tomorrow. There are only 9 Option 40's in the whole company and while its regrettable to say a fair number of them are shit bags its not affecting my motivation, I'm focused on these last 5 weeks so I can earn my blue chord.

Rangers this morning I was awarded my blue chord and I am very proud to wear it. I graduate at the National Infantry Museum and I will then be a direct ship to airborne school with class starting on Monday. OSUT was a great experience and I worked hard to become as proficient as possible with every task we were assigned and I will do the same at airborne. I have completed the first step on this path to become a Ranger and I'm ready to take on the next one.

Rangers it's jump week here at airborne I have my first 2 jumps tomorrow and I'm pretty excited about it. Airborne has been pretty easy I'm ready to move on to pre-RASP/RASP next week. I work out at the Audie Murphy gym and its awesome seeing Regiment when I'm walking to the gym, that brown fence serves as motivation every time I see it. Feet and knees together Rangers.

Rangers,

I am home on pass after completing week 1 of RASP its good to be home and enjoy the holidays with my mother and friends. The instructors made sure to use the time we had together to make sure those who didn't need to be there weren't there. I expect nothing but the same when I return.

Rangers I passed through the gauntlet that is Cole Range and am moving on to week 3 of RASP. We lost 26 guys the first day there, 29 counting the 3 that quit before the ruck out there. My class started with 136 and now is down to 87 after 2 weeks. I would also like inform you that Affirm 369 and Jake-the-Snake are in the same class as me and also successfully completed Cole Range.

For you future guys out there Cole Range sucks but its something you will just have to put up with. That part of the course is hard but doable.
