Re: SITREP: CHRIS

Chris, I am going to use you as a teaching point. First you can still keep your head up you did not quit like so many others. You failed at the 5 mile but you did not give up. There is a difference. You can work to gain a second chance at your new unit. Be the best you can, keep your head low and l...

Re: One of our mentees is in OSUT

So, I figured I would post a brief SITREP with a couple of things for the hopefuls along the way: So far, everything is going very well. My squad and team leaders seem to like me, and I am fitting in well with the guys, as well as a private in Regiment can, that is, haha. Training is very fast paced...

Re: SITREP Bigglestheman

A good way I improved on my pushups was to take the ~60% mark of your goal, which should be the max, and turn it into that # x 4 sets. Essentially, it turned into 4 sets of 50 push-ups, to Ranger standard, with a 2 minute break in between sets. If you actually do them to standard and keep the 2min b...

Graduated RASP

Hello Rangers, Just posting a brief SITREP to say that I graduated RASP 1 today with assignment to 1st batt. I cannot be any more excited to begin training and move forward with my career.

Re: One of our mentees is in OSUT

Rangers, I am currently in pre-RASP with cbc1. He and I are pretty competitive and going into this with great confidence. Two people quit the first day. I mean, really? Damn, paperwork must have been taxing. Seeing people quit just fuels my motivation even more. Its the first truly challenging thing...

Re: Introduction-Jim

Yes this was very recent, I graduated OSUT March 8th and am in Airborne now. I leave for pre-RASP in 2 weeks. It's ultimately your decision to enlist how you wish, but I'm going to let you know now...some kid had more than enough credentials to get a contract, the LNO told him in person that he &quo...

Re: Introduction-Jim

Hey Jim, While most companies, as in, the vast majority of them at Sand Hill, give out option 40s....my company made it a point to not give out any. They only gave out 3 18x contracts. They straight up didn't bother to take them to the liaison to volunteer, even after the brief we got from the Range...

Re: One of our mentees is in OSUT

Rangers, Well, the guys who were selected, the "program" we were starting, wasn't approved by some Sergeant Major. So, the early EIB is a no-go now. We had ourselves all fluffed up for nothing. It's ok, however, I will have my due chance. Awaiting airborne school for now. Continuing to imp...

Re: One of our mentees is in OSUT

Rangers, So, I turned blue today. My airborne date was pushed back 2 weeks and in the mean time, the cadre have selected about 6 guys to train up for the upcoming EIB. They are not 100% sure if we can get in, but I will find out for sure tomorrow whether or not I will have to opportunity. It's looki...

Re: Introduction - Mike

Rangers, I suppose it is about time for a proper SITREP. It's been a while since I have posted one, however it is not reflective of my prep thus far. I have been training very hard, however, I am making sure that I stay healthy and ready for The Show. My unofficial, most recent APFT is 95 PU, 97 SU,...

Re: Introduction - Mike

Rangers, I believe a SITREP is in order: I have recently conducted an APFT. The pushup and sit-up judge was an active duty Marine. 2mi- 12:55 PU: 96 SU: 94 I have had a faster run time. My PR is 12:32, but, that doesn't matter. The PU's and SU's seem to be at a plateau that I am currently working on...
