I will be in the 3rd BDE as of 06 January. Ill elaborate on the cutting my dick off remark. My class never got to do the swamp movement in Florida phase due to a low water table. The RI's decided to do an 8 mile road march instead, at an accelerated pace due to a dispute with the air force over trai...

Hello Rangers and honored board members. Here she is. I started Ranger School one week after IOBC and graduated 07Sept. A high speed squad and some good luck put me through as a first time go. There are a lot of stories, but a few things concern the board. This was my first run in with the Ranger Ba...

I got my wings last week and all is well. There is not much to speak of about airborne school. My chute opened five times with no injuries. It is off to BOLCII, IOBC, and then RANGER school. Im still motivated looking foreward to chasing that tab. Thank you Rangers and other board members. Buck27

OCS class 10-06 graduates on Dec 7 and its been an interesting trip. I have learned more from my prior service buddies than any trainer could ever teach me. Thank God they took the time to mentor me and help me unass myself. kageryu311 is a good guy and I look foreward to serving with him. I found o...

Congrats buddy, I am proud to walk in your footsteps. Good luck and stay safe throughout airborne school.

Hello all Rangers and other honored board members. I have been trying to put this off until I know my branch, but I have staff duty tonight so here it is. I graduated from basic on September 1st from Fort Jackson on an 09S contract for officer candidate school. Basic was a good time and I am glad I ...

Ill be at Ohio State for 5 more weeks. Are you from the area?

Thank you for the congrats. Basic is in Fort Jackson and OCS is in Fort Benning. I requested infantry, engineering, and intelligence as my top three. The board recommended me for light engineering or infantry. My performance at OCS will dictate the branch that I am assigned. My performance in OBC wi...

This morning I was sworn in to the United States Army. I am set to graduate college on June 11. After that, I will ship out to basic on June 21st and then to Officer Candidate School when basic is completed. I still have a strong desire to attend Ranger School and serve in a Ranger Batt throughout m...

Thank you Rangers for your responses. I apologize for posting ocs content on a Ranger site. Now I have an idea of how to coordinate my ship out date with my graduation date. It seems I have to get moving now if I want to ship out in the summer. The info is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all, Ill go ...

Hello All Rangers and Soldiers. I spoke with a recruiter that said candidates for OCS had to appear before a board and clearly display leadership qualities. One option for me is to join as an officer with a college degree and no ROTC. What is the format of the interview for prospective officers and ...

Thank you Ranger AbnRgr289, Ranger rgrpuck, and Paratrooper CAL for your responses. Paratrooper CAL, the captions treated me like gold because they knew I was thinking of joining in the spring. They both emphasized money as a large reason to become an officer along with the belief that since I had a...

When I posted my intro I was sure I wanted to go the enlisted 75th Ranger Regiment route. After a few visits to my brother at obc in Fort Leonard Wood MO I am not so sure what route to take. I got the opportunity to talk to a few Captions about the issue (one ex-sf) and they spelled it out for me. T...

Thanks for the responses Ranger Doc Cook and Paratrooper HarleyRider. When their time comes they will remember the advice. Buck27
