Graduated Airborne School today. Jump week is awesome! We did 2 jumps on Sun, 2 on Mon, and our final one yesterday. I got to jump the C-130 1x and the C-17 4x. It was a rush everytime. Pure adrenaline. For my class jump week was more or less "jump 3 days" because of the schedule/holidays....

Roger that Ranger Jim.
There was also a Battalion change of command so we lost a day due to that too.

Have a great 4th Ranger Jim!

Airborne Sitrep Part two: Tower Week We finished up tower week yesterday and are ready to do our first (and I believe second) jumps this Sunday. In Tower Week you will practice PLF's from the suspension harness. You are strapped into a harness, sort of "fall off" a 10 foot platform, swing ...

Roger Ranger Jim.
All we did today was a 3.5mile run and did duties for the cadre (moving their HQ office to the new office). We start jumping next Sunday. It seems fast, but I'm looking forward to the 1st jump...in both a nervous and excited way.

Quick sitrep about Airborne School... I just finished ground week of Airborne school. The instruction we receive here is top notch.

Hi Rangers and future soldiers, I'm on my 48 hour pass from OSUT. 11 weeks down and 5 more to go before turning blue. Here's a quick perspective on Basic Training so far: 30th AG: You will spend the first 10 days of your Army career at 30th AG. In a nutshell 30th AG is the most boring place I have e...

Two days until I ship. Tomorrow I head to the hotel and Tuesday I'll make my 5th (and hopefully final) trip to MEPS. This will be my last post for a while. As often as I can I'll provide SITREPs about the journey. Thank You once again to all the Rangers on this site. I do feel well prepared going in...
