If you're serious about getting this going then doing PT "fairly regularly" will not do it bud. You need to start smoking yourself daily. This has been stressed over and over again on this site. It's up to you, how bad do you want this. Or do you want to be a fairly regular soldier?

As I see you're from Texas I know you were most likely brought up to say Sir/Ma'am in most interactions, which to me is a good thing don't get me wrong, but there's no need to call me Sir here.

Sounds as though you're doing a decent amount of conditioning, but make no mistakes about it, you'll definitely need to change your workouts at least several months ahead of shipping out. Don't rely on OSUT to be your readiness PT for RASP.

I wish you well young man. Go get it.

Good deal. I suggest reading everything Ranger Goon has posted in this forum and others about OSUT/RASP/Airborne and the Opt 4 to 40 during OSUT.

He knows of what he speaks and has updated info on a regular basis.

I sent you a email about getting a option 40 before you ship. I see that your location is in Texas. If you are leaving from Houston meps have your recruiter contact me ASAP. If you are leaving from a different meps follow my directions in the email.

Good Luck,

Submitted a re-no about a week and a half ago, and found out today it was approved, which my recruiter said was pretty rare. Headed back down to MEPS this afternoon to hopefully get an Opt. 40 attached to my contract.
Excellent SITREP! Earn this, and never, never quit!
