Re: Introduction

Ranger Jim, I had two Grand Mal seizures, which is the worst kind. Other than that, I do not have much more information, unfortunately.

Re: Introduction

Rangers, A few days ago I had a couple of seizures, out of no where. Devestatingly this means I probably will have to delay my dream of enlisting for at least a few years if I'm able to at all. I will explore all of my chances of enlisting while keeping my brothers in arms' safety in mind. For now I...

Re: Introduction

Ranger Jim, I apologize for any confusion, but the plan was to enter DEP sometime from January to early March so I could squeeze in one semester of college. I planned on doing this because by the time I graduate high school I will have earned 64 college credits out of the necessary 120, but I need t...

Re: Introduction

Rangers,
Would I still be able to obtain an option 40 if I take a couple ROTC courses, or would I be considered prior service? Also, is there any veracity to the rumor that the DEP program has been extended to 14 months under the new name FSP?

Re: Introduction

Ranger Jim,
I understand one would go through AIT and SOCM, but are they able to remain with a team as long as the infantrymen, or are they forced to be a hospital or hq medic too soon? Would I still be made to endure the "fun" like the other cherries?

Hit_It would octopus be considered a common allergy though, because otherwise I wouldn't even need a waiver, the way I read the regulations. Thanks for everyone's replies.

Ranger Jim, does this mean that a waiver is only possible after 5 years, and do you even need a waiver if it's for something uncommon such as an allergy to octopus? I was unsure because I checked multiple regulations and determined that epilepsy is defined as two or more seizures, which I only had o...

I'm sorry if this sounds nieve, and in no way am I saying anything about the Ranger lifestyle is easy, but is there a certain level of fitness that would make RIP seem easy? For example, if you were able to run 10 miles at a 6 minute pace, would the running portions of RIP be easy for you, or would ...

2) I haven't had an ass ripping from you Rangers, yet, but usually they inspire me to reflect on and fix any poor choices I've previously made. 3)I would enlist within the hour if I could obtain an option 40. 4)I hope this site accurately portrays life in the military, it seems like no one can ever ...

Ranger Invictus, I do not like competing for second place, and therefore I wanted to be a part of specialized tier one- type unit. Also, I figure there is no better way to hone the body and mind than by spending a lifetime in the 75th. Sorry if I'm not wording this right, but mostly it's more of an ...
