Introduction

Post by Harry Balsagna »

Morning Rangers,

My name is John and I'm 23 years young from Brooklyn. I have some serious questions regarding how to proceed from enlistment to Ranger. Before I get shit about my age, you guys should know I had to graduate college before I could proceed with what I really wanted to do - enlist. So, with that out of the way, I'm more than willing to take shit from all people who have already proven themselves. Any and all advice is appreciated.

First off, lose the attitude, 23 is young, and nobody here will think it is strange at all to be that age when enlisting. You are welcome here, and we will help any way we can, but you need to tread carefully.

Oohh, a degree! I am so impressed, I think I'm going to cream myself! Can you scan your degree and post it? Because I want to print it out on some nice, soft paper and use it to wipe my ass. Lose the fucking attitude bud.

You want shit? You certainly came to the right place. Lose the attitude. I was 30 when I graduated RIP. You got a college degree? So what. It won't matter at all in training, in fact it might hurt you if you carry around a 'I'm better then the rest' attidude during training.

Read much. Post little. Welcome.

Welcome aboard. I'll assume you have a dry sense of sacrcastic humor, as I do, and assume that you have no attitude. Like Ranger RTO, I was 30 when I enlisted. It's all in your head...either you want it, or you don't. Age isn't a factor. Good luck.

Well, Young Wannabe
Back on the bottom of the pile are you? That college thing work out for you really well ? Everytime that you get to the top of the pile there is another pile of shit you have to climb to succede. You are at the bottom again, and everything you do from this moment on is slippery and at times will suck a donkeys ass. But if you have the energy and the lung capacity you will procede! Lose that fucking New Yoark Shitty City, Brooklyn attitude and shut the fuck up. Its like the salsa commercial.... If its made in "NEW YORK CITY" It Sucks! :roll: Use the search button and just listen without Brooklyn comment! Can you do that? I truly doubt it!

My apologies to those of you who have read and will read the initial bs introduction. I deserve the abuse. It wasn't my intention to come across that way and for that I am sorry. This will be my last post until I have a reasonable question that can't be answered within the confines of the site. Thanks for the feedback.
