APFT Test w/Recruiter

Rangers, Completed my pt test today with my recruiter. I scored 285 overall, which was a disappointment. I am 32 years old, so here were my numbers: I maxed out the pushups with 83. Then totally hit a wall with my sit-ups, only getting 66, for a score of 89. That will bother me for a while. I ran a ...

Rangers, I still cannot grasp what the color blind waiver in the Ranger Medic packet entails: https://www.infantry.army.mil/75thranger/content/recruiting/AIT_RMED_Application_06.pdf.

Ranger RTO, You're exactly right, and being professional does not include chaining yourself outside the Ranger liason office, stupid example. I will read the Ranger Creed to the detail and learn from it. I did see a medical color-blindness waiver in the application process for Rangers for medics, an...

Ranger K.Ingraham,
So at Fort Benning I won't get a chance to talk with Rangers?

Yes Ranger/Admin, I did read the entire post you linked. I have read as much about color blindness on this site, without finding information about exceptions.
