Introduction: Chandler

Post by CCJ »

My name is Chandler, I'm 19 years old, and I'm currently living in Minnesota. I've recently enlisted into the Army as 11x and I was lucky enough to snag an Option 40 into my contract. I'm shipping out 20160112 and I couldn't be more fired up! I have countless reasons why I want to be a Ranger but I'll still list a few- First and foremost I want to fight, I want to be apart of a brotherhood that is stronger than any other, I want to be challenged, and I want to earn that scroll/tab and make my friends/family proud!

Push-Ups: ~50
Sit-Ups: ~80
2 Mile Run: ~12:15


Thank you to all the Rangers who run this site! This site has tons of valuable information that I'll be soaking up. I'm thankful that I can be apart of this community.

Rangers Lead The Way!

Welcome to the site, Chandler. Your APFT scores need a lot of work. You have very little time to get prepared before you leave, but if you are motivated and work hard you should be able to improve quite a bit before you leave. Give everything you've got, every time you give and never, ever quit! RLTW

I meant to put 2016, my bad. This is when I ship out for OSUT.

Thank you for the response, I'm training harder than ever and I should be at a 300 APFT soon. I'm hoping to get a 300 before I attend OSUT.

Roger Ranger JD, I clearly should have read more before posting my introduction. I will not let this mistake happen again.
