Ive talked to Zak a bunch since hes been here at Polk. Talked to his COC to ensure he gets a slot. This kid has a good head on his shoulders and I know he is going to do great things no matter what he does in the military.

He takes explicit guidance and follows it to the letter and then moves with a spirit of violent execution.
He's really been enjoying his soldiering lately, and that's a bit of well done from where I'm standing.
My compliments to all the Rangers on this board.
If he'd never found ArmyRanger.com he would still be wallowing in mediocrity.
Gentlemen, have yourselves a beer.
