So alot has happened since my last sitrep. I was made a squadleader in OSUT and earned an airborne slot. Graduated OSUT. I am currently at airborne. When I arrived at airborne a staff sergeant from Ranger batt. asked for 'qualified volunteers'. I qualed and jumped at the opportunity to go to R.A.S.P...

Just giving another sitrep. I can't remember if I'm in week 4 or 5 because it's going by so fast. The only reason I know I'm in white phase is because we got our 6 hour white phase pas. Alot people talk crap about basic but I think it's great. Everyday I wake up happy because I'm learning something ...

Right now I'm on the bus from Atlanta airport to Ft. Benning. From Monday morning till now it's been non-stop with no sleep, but it's no biggy. All the travel has been awsome so far. I guess I will have more to say on the far side in something like 16 weeks. I just hope I'm what they want and get pi...

It's not an issue of fair or anything. I just have 2 dudes up at my recruiters who have contracts, and they've been talking all this mess about how they're going to do this and that, and about how hard they're training. We go out to the track and they run 2 miles in 16 mins. So I'm truly pissed at t...

This is pretty annoying. See, unlike you the day I turned 17 I went to my recruiter and was flat out with my desire. You on the other hand wanted to go play around in college then when your good and ready you want to go in and hell you couldn't even do that. The best part is that you just walk in an...

As dumb as it sounds I called the Regiment recruiters, and he explain that they will keep and eye out for talent at Benning. Basically if you're at the top 2% of your class at Basic Training they will come out and check you out themselves. And the ones that are not soup sandwiches will get an offer ...

Will do. I wanted to avoid running around my "hood" with a pack on (military base is near by so I didn't want to look like a poser and all), but you're right. Just do it. Thank you for the advice sir.

I want to start preparing for having to ruck, so I was wondering if walking/jogging on a treadmill at an incline would be a good idea, and if so how much wight should i start with?

They said there was no slots, so I asked to see it on a computer, they did with no result. Then I asked for them to call ft. Benning, again they did, but still no luck. My real goal was just to get in asap instead of sitting around waiting, where I live it's real easy to get stuck and never leave. I...

No kidding. I live in the NoVa (northern Virginia) too.

Thanks Ranger bill, and I will give an update. I do feel lucky about this; it feels like the last few years of random events are intersecting here, but I could just be seeing things.

Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood; I never really thought that my name could be a big deal, but I guess it could be.
Thanks, but I haven't really done anything yet other then stand around in my underwear and sign a paper. You on the other hand should be thanked for you service in Iraq.

In that case I must inform you that's not my real name it's....... James..... Yeah! James!

Ranger513, where did I give up to much personal info so I don't do it again?

Also I would like to point out that's not my only reason for not wanting to fail it's just another insentive.
