Well it's been three years but I guess I better update on the happenings of my last three years. I'll keep it short. When I got to my battalion, they just got back from Afghanistan then proceeded to go to the field almost nonstop the next two years. Which is where I found the trouble in trying to ev...

I plan of visiting shooting ranges to work on my accuracy when I turn 18 in August, and I may have an opportunity to become a certified HALO jumper: these, I think, will put me in a better position when there comes a time when I am either permitted or denied entry into the Army, but I do not know f...

A "normal" Army job in recent years, I have been told by several friends, is based around the "garrison lifestyle" (I believe that is what they call it) that involves video games, patrolling desolate areas and ultimately being bored. Not always the case depends on the unit my bu...

Jimming you're going to lose weight and muscle at OSUT. Not to be pessimistic about it, but it depends on the DS and most of the time you get 1 hour for personal time, which isn't enough depending on all the crap you have to do wash clothes, shower, pack ruck (if you have a ruck march in the morning...

I want to try and get out to El Paso sometime in the next few months. I'd like to have dinner in the place where I celebrated my graduation from basic. Hard to believe it's been 23 years. Now that the Luftwaffe has left, I imagine all of the Germans restaurants will close up, if they haven't alread...

Alright here we go! They gave us new guys a sheet with the specs of the M4, M240, and the SAW as well as things like 8 battle drills, SLLS, 9 line med evac, ect. I've got just about all of it memorized and have been adding stuff to the sheet as well like specs of the AT4, M14, M110, M107, and other ...

Will post an update soon just haven't had internet. My barracks is pretty far it out if you don't have a POV.

Weather here is much better than Benning in the summer.

FINAL OSUT SITREP I graduated OSUT two days ago. Rangers I was unsuccessful in obtaining a Ranger Contract. Only one person in my platoon was offered a Ranger contract. Three were offered SF and one was offered Airborne. I know another platoon gave out 3 Ranger contracts, 4 SF, and 1 Airborne. I kno...

Hello Rangers, DEPers, future soldiers, and everyone else I've just completed the BCT portion of OSUT and am on my 72-hour pass. OSUT is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be the only hard thing is dealing with the egos and all the "tough guys". So far, no Ranger contracts have be...

This will be my last post on ArmyRanger.com as a civilian. Tomorrow I will head up to the Hotel and then on Monday, I will ship out. I wasn't able to get an Option 40, but i'm not giving up "Surrender is not a Ranger word". So i'm going to have to earn it in OSUT. The information this site...

SITREP Rangers I went to MEPs two weeks ago signed for an 11x didn't get my Opt 40, but I was told to come in the following week to take an airborne physical, and they'll call ROC about the Option 40s I did not get the Opt 40 that day (Suspected I wouldn't oh well). At the moment, I haven't obtained...

Without them we would never even be here.
