Hello Army Rangers i would like to introduce myself.
My name is Matt . I live in Connecticut in a small town called Deep River. I have always had the highest respect for our nations warriors, in particular the Rangers. I have always had a dream of serving with the best since i was a little kid. I have been talking with a recruiter for several months, taken the asvab (82, 120 GT) and the physical. I am now pursuing an option 40. I just graduated Valley Regional High School in Deep River, i am 18 years old. I have been training for months for a chance at R.I.P.
I do 5 mile runs 4 times a week and i have lowered my 5 mile time to 32:30.
I know i am young but i would like a chance to prove that i have what it takes. Any advice from you fine men is appreciated.
Respectfully,
Matt

Good luck...If you are using your real name I suggest changing it. Send me a screen name you would like instead

Welcome, Matt. Thank you for your desire to serve as a U.S. Army Ranger.

Oh, and your not " too young " ! 18 is a prime age to enter the program.

Two words of advice: NEVER QUIT.

A lot of us were 17 when we went in. It is very possible.
Some people confuse "Experience" with "Intelligence"
one is curable. All you need is Tenacity
Good Luck

Welcome Good Kid. Looks like you're a runner. You did 5 6 1/2 minute miles if my calcs are correct. How are your pushups, situps and pullups?

Matt,
A man has only one opportunity to make a favorable initial impression. Considering your age and experience, I think you should do all right. If you wish 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. I see the DEP welcoming committee has already contacted you, so you should be off to a good start. Finally, you need to pay more attention to your written efforts -- attention to detail is a critical skill. Never, never quit.
