Well it's been a while since I posted in the Letters from School section... I graduated OCS class 006-14 last month. Overall OCS was a breeze compared to the lifestyle I've been used to for the past 8 years. I'm headed to IBOLC in a week then its off to 4th IBCT, 3rd ID at Ft. Stewart sometime next ...

He was a total turd burgler....

jk, he did a good job. Probably one of the better members of that squad.

Everett was in my squad in Darby and Mountains.

I got my shit, graduated class 05-10. Tabcheck!

update: got my go in darby, on my 8 hour pass, headed to mountains tomorrow. So hungry...

One year bump and update:

Finished up Pre-Ranger (now called SURT) again, headed back to Ranger School on Sunday... again. Hopefully no injuries this time!

Well fuck, I suffered separated ribs from landing sideways on the slide for life part of the combat water survival assessment. Got med dropped. Its gonna be a few months before they send me back to school.

Just a heads up, I finished up 75th Pre-Ranger a little over a week ago. I am on block leave and will be starting Ranger School on the 4th of January. Almost time for the suck!

None of my RIP Hold buddies made it to graduation. Hell, most of them were gone in 3 days.

Today I finally got to don my tan beret and had my scroll pinned on by my parents. I will be heading over to 3/75 next week. Its definitely a thrill making it this far and I'm sure my time in batt will be even harder than what I've been through so far. Our class started with 154 and graduated 78. I ...

Ranger Tater Nuts,

There was a short halt at 8 miles because we were ahead of schedule on the march. We still finished with some time to spare.

Fucking fence detail... my hands are just now healing up from all the stab wounds i got from the top of that fence

Good luck at Fort Hood Zelse! You'll be about 30 min away from where I went to college.

Quick update: I passed the 12 mile road march. The first few miles were rediculously fast. I ended up falling back for a little while, but caught up with the main group at the 8 mile halt. We then turned around and I found myself near the front of the formation for the last 4 miles. All I have left ...

I've made it through two weeks of RIP and I'm still here. The first week mainly consisted of classroom instruction and PT. This past week we did Cole Range. I got to enjoy the experience of hitting the woodline many a time. Overall, RIP hasn't been nearly as bad as I had it built up in my mind to be...

I've been in RIP Hold since Tuesday. Things are not bad here. We have good PT in the morning and details during the day. There is a lot of standing around though. Its nice to see standards actually being enforced now, especially after the lax environment of Airborne School. We had our PT test to get...
