Shave everyday, and never fall asleep or zone out during classes. If you are going to buy or have someone bring you a POV. Do it before you get here. Most importantly hydrate, the guy with the highest PT score here went down during our 6 mile ruck (which was insanely fast) from dehydration. We've lost 15 guys so far, quitters, injuries, heat cats. Cole Range is my next hurdle.
Tim, I'm proud of you. Stay focused every day, and never, never quit!

xb12r wrote:Ranger Jim and Ranger Steadfast, I am still going strong. Week 4 is over. It was mobility training. Classes on preventative maintenance and driving humvee's. Coming from a mechanical background it was right up my alley, and very easy. We had a PT test, 5 mile run, and 10 mile ruck march. I am happy to say my times in all events are improving, and of course are within standards. We received are M-9 familiarization class today, which was very good. I am glad To be half way done with RASP and nearing the end of my 7th months of non-stop training. It can be tiring at times, but also rewarding as I get stronger in events, and learn invaluable military info. I don't have much new advice for week 4 except for ruck/run as fast as you can, and take care of your feet. I think we are down to 98 guys now out of 129. I can't wait to start shooting and demo weeks!
Tim. can't tell you how proud I am of you. Never, never quit!
