Introduction - Thomas

[Jim]

Hey everyone,

My names Thomas, and I'm a high school senior. I've come to this website seeking possible advice and wisdom as a continue through to the next chapter in my life. Becoming a Ranger has always been in the back of my mind, but now as I'm quickly becoming an adult, I realize now is the opportunity to make that dream a reality. I've observed this forum for quite some time, but I now have questions that I haven't seen on here or in any of the research I've done. Anyways, looking forward to learning from all of the Rangers on here!

Roger Ranger Jim,

A little bit about myself... I'm a high school senior who's very active in sports academics. I've always been surrounded by people in the military, a factor that's influenced my decision to join the Army. I'm looking at enlisting or following the officer route via ROTC/USMA. But on the topic of a physical assessment, would results from an APFT be enough? I've already done that test for a ROTC application.

If the score is recent (within the past week or so) it is acceptable. Please give more details on what it is you seek.

Ranger Jim,

Help on getting into the 75th. You guys have been there, and done that, and there's no better source of advice or information. I just want to learn from the Rangers on here. Hope that's what you meant...

Do not refer to us as (underlined above) "you guys", anything but Ranger(s) gets many pissed off.

I searched your query, got 305 pages - looking 1st few search needs researching question needs to be reformed. Alternate suggestion go to RASP FORUM - read, read & read some more for your answer.

Washed out - navy terminology.

This response is not meant to be a retaliation. I realize that you sacrifice your time to help noobs out like me. But respect is a two way street.

You are our guest. I can see & understand you haven't read our FAQs & stickies above each & every forum you enter. We generally have one of our DEP's, or DIC (DEP IN CHARGE) PM you how to do proper protocol and proper speaking with our Rangers.
All posts and Pm 's are to be prefaced (Which you did not bother to do). Is 1st say Ranger or Rangers, anything less is you pissing on our floor sucking your thumb, saying, you guys. We are not your buddy, a teacher of yours, a friday nite underage drinker buddy of yours - this site is our house where behind the public curtain we gather. We are or have been US ARMY RANGERS, all in the 75th Inf or present day 75th Ranger Regiment. You are a guest in our home, remind yourself why you came here. You don't like our rules - there's the door.
I'll make your question easier because you already know the answer.

Meet the standards or fail. Next say it the nice way VW voluntary withdrawal where as you go anywhere in the world army sends you (for failing) most go to South Korea bye bye. We call it QUITING. Do any reading in RASP Forum? Ranger Jim says it 10,000 times, never, never quit. Idiots fail p. T. Tests- flunk out. Start saying Cadre had it out for me - already fucking excuses. Do the excercises, pass the tests - only strong alpha males survive and drive on to become Rangers. You got it in you kid, talk, listen to the Rangers -do as they say and 2 things, 1) do your pt, 2) never, never allow the word quit pass your lips or enter your mind.
I'll be leaving now - you have the necessary answers, say: Roger Ranger and move out.

Tread carefully young man. You're already bordering on being a thin skinned pussy and you're going to start telling Ranger Steadfast how it's going to be? I don't think so.

Get your shit together quickly or you'll be gone within the week.

This should have been your response. No explanation is necessary.
