Re: Obtaining a Slot - the Process?
I could tell some NTC stories about being forward of the FLOT and using a TOW platoon to take out an entire Tank Company, a helicopter landing a recon unit, and changing the landscape of the entire battle...but I won't. I will say this, though - when you discover that an enemy tank can't elevate it...

Re: Army ROTC Cadet Considering Option 40
Cadet Mike, I can offer you no guidance on Ranger Battalion or RASP. I am one of those infantry PLs who was not successful in Ranger School. It is what it is, and the blame lies at my feet. Next time. I'm simply offering you some advice on your potential future as an officer. I read a lot of me, my,...

Re: Getting into the Airborne Mindset?
It's the first Sunday recall formation and I'm standing by the plt office waiting for a vehicle inspection form, and there's a private who looks about 17 standing next to me with a fucked up shave and he wants to quit. This NCO steps out of the office and asks him why he wants to quit and he says &q...

Re: College while in Ranger Batt.
I have a good friend who ETS'd out of my company last year after 5 years in. After only just 5 years in batt. as a 68W, he left as a SSG, an EMT-P, a Bachelors Degree, and had more real world trauma experience than most doctors after there residency is over. As soon as he got out, he took the MCAT,...

Re: Training Routine to get ready for RASP
All I'm going to say, since I am not a Ranger by anyone's definition, is that you should probably lose the bodybuilding shit. If that negates the following, then I am not above spot corrections. Isolation lifts like curls won't do you any good. The lifting you should be doing should involve multiple...

Re: MOH Question...
The only thing that annoyed me was that SSG Guinta was never given the opportunity to say anything. I'm not familiar with the way these ceremonies are supposed to be run when awarded to a living servicemember, as I've only seen them posthumous. I've seen people given the floor after being awarded a ...

Re: Boots while rucking
I've had similiar issues with a pair of boots. I've got a pair of belleville's that rub my left heel raw on any type of movement. I wear my Danners and I don't have an issue. The inside heel of my bellevilles isn't as smooth as my danners. There's a piece of rubber that juts out a bit that rubs my h...

Re: Things I learned from my fathers and now my son.
I'm about to be a dad in a few months, it's crazy.
Sometimes when I think about it I get all emotional and feel like a pussy.
I think that's okay though.

I believe one of his BC's was relieved down range, something about Powerpoint's.

Re: Blackhawk Down Paper Assignment
You are in college right? How come your paper is written in the first person? This. When writing a paper, state opinion as fact. It's not "I believe Yuengling beer is the best beer on the planet" it's "Yuengling is the best beer on the planet, and it is because of x, y, and z."

So I'm at the movie theater here in Radcliff, trying to kill time by checking the latest incarnation of Karate Kid. There's a family in the back, mom, dad, kid. Kid is being loud, running around, climbing over the seats, all sorts of crazy shit. The best mom and dad can muster in an attempt to contr...

How do you average a faster mile over a 5k than over a 2 mile time?
