Re: Intro

Rangers, Ran my first 5 mile today, been working up to it, ran it at the gym on the treadmill. My time was 39:46, just under the 40 minutes, need to work on that. Have to be honest, I haven't worked on push-ups/sit-ups much, mostly have been running and lifting. Need to start working on the rest, bu...

Re: Credit card debt

Thanks Ranger K.Ingraham,

You've put my mind at ease.

Re: Credit card debt

Rangers, Much to my displeasure, I ordered my credit report/score, my report shows me up to date on all payments and never missing any. But my credit score is rated as poor at "610" because of my high balances. I really hope this will be okay when it comes to my security clearance. Of cour...

Credit card debt

Rangers, I am working with my recruiter right now to get my 11x Option 40 contract and I am worried about one aspect, I have heard that security clearances can be turned down if you have too much debt. Right now I have about $5,100 in credit card debt and about $1,000 in medical bills that I am payi...

Re: Intro

Received my Ranger Handbook, I bought 2 copies so when I go through I might hook someone else with a Option 40 contract that doesn't have one so they can get a head start as well. Haven't received my orders yet to see a recruiter but I am hoping they come very soon. I also just finished reading &quo...

Re: Intro

Rangers, Met with my ROTC instructor last Friday, signed the last of my papers, he told me I will be getting orders to see a recruiter within the next couple weeks. I already started talking to one and we are getting all the paperwork that I need done so that there will be less time dealing with the...

Re: Quick PT Improvement

Thats what I ran this morning at the gym. In December of last year my 2 mile was down to a 13:00 but I let myself go for a little whi...

Quick PT Improvement

Rangers, I do not have my Option 40 contract just yet because I am just waiting for my disenrollment from ROTC to be complete and get my orders to see a recruiter but I have been speaking with a recruiter and my ROTC instructor and both of them told me they don't see a reason why I shouldn't be able...

Re: Intro

Ranger Zonk 1/75, I can see what you're saying, school was never a strong suite for me. Struggled in school my entire time in. The main reason I started college was a favor to my parents at the time, looking back I realize I should have taken my own path. Going through BASIC in 04 was the best exper...
