I have been in construction for 15yrs, owned my own rough framing business for 5 years, County Building Inspector for 2.
I graduated w/ a 3.75 gpa from a private school in Chi-town.
As of right now I haven't talked with a recruiter due to the fact that I have spent the last year or so gathering all the intelligence I could about the Army, MOS's and the Ranger's.
I have already memorized the R.A.N.G.E.R. creed because as you all have said a number of times here already it's a lifestyle, and I'm ready to start living it.
This is the best site I have found on the subject (hours and hours of reading I have enjoyed) and you guys are the baddest mofo's, and I just want to say thanx for all of your dedicated service and sacrifice so that I have been able to live a life of richness!
And now it's time I gave something back...
I come from a family of jar heads and jack tars. I have been doing hard labour for years as I have noted previous. I got the nickname Joedeck because (for those of you who aren't familiar with framing) throwing down 4x8 sheets of plywood on a roof is called "decking" and I could average 150 sheets a day, nailed off, hence the name Joedeck.
So for all you young bucks that think 33 is old, I am in the most prime condition of my life soooo.....
I WANNA BE AN AIRBORNE RANGER... as the song goes....
Stats PFT: 110 push-ups

I have only 2 questions: are my chances good for getting a waiver for having more than 2 dependents? How do I get a mentor?
I've done all my research.....I'm planning to meet a recruiter in a month or so.....this site has been priceless for my decision..... and I know I have a helluva lot of work and play and blood (no tears, I hate crybabies, do-gooders and busy-bodies) ahead to reach your coveted status-MY GOAL!
Thassit. Here's to you and me, may we never disagree, but if we do, Fuck you more of the shit for me
