Now that that's resolved, please tell us what you are doing to cut about a minute from your two-mile time. Ranger Jim: I have been running every day now and haven't missed a day in the last... 11 days. Some days I'm running twice. I'm leaving for Florida tonight and will get back the day before Eas...

Rangers, I went back to MEPS today and finished my contract which now includes Option 40. So in summary, my final contract is 11X/ABN/Opt. 40 with an 18k signing bonus (I didn't lose it), and I leave 20090624. Thanks to everyone, and especially Ranger Disinfertention. Without the advice he gave me h...

Rangers, I contacted my recruiter today and told him I would like to renegotiate my contract. He is complying and will be setting me up a MEPS date. I'll update everyone more as I find things out.

Ranger Disinfertention, my recruiter didn to give me a specific timelime. However with my leaving in June and wanting to have RIP line up soon after Airborne, I would assume I should have this done no later than the end of April if I'm going to get my slot. If you could ask a liaison about this for ...

Ok Rangers, I talked to my recruiter today and I now have a decision to make. He said that if I want to, I can have the renegotiation done. However, that will momentarily kill my current slots for Infantry and Airborne. I will lose my job, and if the job doesn't come up as an option again when I go ...

That is correct Ranger Bill. Anything is just added to my current 11X contract. Well, 11X/ABN contract now. I think I have a little strength in this though because I'm pretty sure you can drop from the DEP at any time before your ship date. Maybe if I threaten that they will be more likely to give m...

Ranger Jim: It has indeed been a worthwhile experience for me. There is so much information on this site that there is virtually no necessity in asking questions, for most of them can be found with a search. I have been privileged enough to read about what Infantry OSUT, BAC, and RIP are like from t...

Hello Rangers. I have posted two introductions before but I thought posting this one was necessary, which I will explain now. I haven't really used this site since I enlisted and plan on using it regularly again now. I am an 11X/ABN hoping to get a shot at RIP, but unfortunately I do not have an Opt...

Questions for anyone here who can answer them... What height is being used for "box jumps"? Are they just jumping from the front, the side, what? 4 count flutterkicks... could someone please explain how that is done. Lastly... anyone have a link for me to a decent, cheap HR monitor or can ...

Ranger Nomad, My run felt great and I finished the Abfidel in 10:29. Any other DEP's out there? DEP here. Ranger Nomad: Wow, these workouts are a lot tougher than I anticipated, very good. I'll post times and the sort like everyone else when I can can actually consistently finish them. Until then I...

Ranger Nomad,

I missed your post last night so I'll try to get the workout in tonight.

Here's my info since you don't yet have it... per my last APFT as graded by recruiter:

Push-Ups: 62
Sit-Ups: 81
2-Mile Run: 14:55

Weight: 129.8 lbs.

Ranger Nomad, I just wanted to thank you for doing and this and say I will be joining as well now. After reading through some of your workouts and the responses this seems like a great idea to prepare for the Rangers, as I have also heard many units are starting to do CrossFit-oriented routines. Tha...

Thanks for the response Ranger JLTW!!!. My understanding is that as long as I'm a DEP I can add anything to my contract before I ship. I don't ship for another year. The Army counselor at MEPS told me the Airborne slots won't open back up until this October and he seemed like a pretty honest, straig...

Hello Rangers and everyone else. Quick question, hope you don't mind. I have officially secured my 11X contract (went to MEPS yesterday), however I do not have Airborne or an Option 40 yet. I do understand that I will need to get those included and what I need to do for this to happen. However, I wa...

Sorry for the delay Rangers, I just got home. My self administered APFT from today: Push-Ups: 71 Sit-Ups: 63 2-Mile Run: 16:26 Chin-Ups: 14 I think that makes my score a 228 overall, so I still have a lot of work to do. Also, I went to MEPS today and took my ASVAB. My overall score was a 90, my GT s...
