I do have a question though, how old are those scores you posted?
Thank you Ranger J.Rico.

About 2 weeks old. I'll get new scores.

Stick with it kid, and hang tough. Seven times seven, never ever quit.

Good attitude in the face of opposition.

Worst thing anyone ever could say to me was "you couldn't possibly do that", cuz I would darn near kill my self trying to do it.

Sounds like you might be like that.

Will watch to see how you do.

Thank you Ranger Lefty. I'm doing my best and pushing hard. I'm either going to do this or die running.

I don't welcome most DEPs to the board because most of the little fuckers come and go and don't have the heart to make it in the first place. You sound like an exception.....good luck in your quest!

Dylan,
A man has only one opportunity to create a favorable initial impression. Thus far you seem to be a success. If your intention is to earn a place in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came to the right place. Please read all the FAQs, as well as selected stickies and threads. Almost every question you might have has already been answered. Use the search feature to explore on your own. Continue to work on your PT. When you are assigned a task, you are expected to complete that task by the suspense you are assigned. Never, never quit! Oh, yeah; welcome...

Outwardly proclaiming that you're not using an excuse while at the same time saying you have one is a bit of an oxymoron (REF: Above quote in bold).

I asked whether or not it would be a problem getting scores so soon and you said it wouldn't be (REF: Above quotes in bold).

As Ranger JIM says, first impressions are lasting ones. I won't belabor the point except to say that time management is a neccessity.
JIM wrote:When you are assigned a task, you are expected to complete that task by the suspense you are assigned.
In this case, you made the time hack. I didn't specify a time for completion, only a date. I wanted to see if you would wait until the last minute, or get on the assignment right away.

Your scores are really pretty good. There's room for improvement, but as always, there's room for improvement. I'd like to know what kind of program you've been working out with. Please give us a rundown of what you've been doing and for how long by 2000 tomorrow evening (that's 2000 on the 29th of August).
