How's everybody doing today?
Well, this is my intro...I'm an E-4 with 2yrs and some chump change TIS and I'm gettin ready to go Ranger School in early October (hench how I found stumbled upon this site). I'm stationed up in Alaska (probably due to the fact that god is punishing for something I did in a past life I dont know).
Quick Bio...July 05-Oct 05 OSUT
Early Nov 05-Nov 23 05 Airborne
OIF III December 05-June 06 in Mosul
OIF III June 06-December 06 in Baghdad
Like I said I'm gettin ready (physically and mentally) to go to Ranger School in early October, and Im here trying to gather whatever information and hints/tips I can get before I head off to do bigger and better things because If I hang out in Garrison any longer, I'm probably gonna smoke a handgun. Thats all I got, so I'll move out swiftly.
