Tower week wasn't bad at all. You do a lot of PLFs, you will be an expert by the end of it. You also go over emergency procedures countless times. Sunday I ran my 5 miler and got a 32:57. The decrease in elevation is making a huge difference coming from Fort Huachuca. Monday weather didn't let us ju...

Rangers, I have finished ground week and we now have this 4 day weekend for Memorial Day. Ground week isn't bad, the PT test on the first day they strongly encourage you to stop after you hit the minimums on push-ups and sit-ups. I only got a 1209 on the run because I started in the very back and co...

Rangers, we now have our orders. We report to BAC 20May2016, begin class on the 23rd, and are slotted to graduate June 10. Other than that, today me and another Opt. 40 took a walk on-APFT. I tried doing all pushups chest to ground, and told the grader to not count them if my chest didn't hit. I got...

Roger Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV Our class officially graduated on 29Apr2016. I graduated as Honor Graduate and Iron Soldier. We were told graduation morning that the five of us who are Airborne had our spots taken, and it would be another week till we left. This morning we were told there are no slot...

I have officially completed all requirements for graduation and the ceremony will be held tomorrow. Sergeant says he thinks Airborne will leave the following Thursday, giving us about a week to focus only on PT. Physically I am very confident, me and another Opt. 40 have been going to LIT PT (After ...

Rangers, the graduation date we've been given is April 29. This is assuming we don't continue to gets flights canceled due to weather. Once on flightline you really can't be recycled. The final washout rate for us was roughly 30%, most of it coming from Combat Identification. If you're not a visual ...

This will be my first letter from school so I will start with my pre-ship numbers as well. Before I left to Basic at Fort Jackson in August 2015 my PT score was as follows: Pushups: 75 Situps: 85 2 Mile Run: 11:36 5 Mile time: 33:21 Basic training at Fort Jackson will be way too easy for anyone seri...

Roger, Ranger Jim. A 15W operates UAVs. One must know operator level 'ins and outs' of the UAV. Operate and analyze results of the Uav, to watch for enemy movement, plan attacks, scout areas, etc.. The 15W then helps in mission planning and organizing what the best plan of attack should be after lau...

After not reading the introduction and rules for this site, I previously created a forum. I apologize for violating the rules, but have now read them and plan to follow from here on out. Hopefully my mistake can be forgotten. My name is Brett, I am 17 years old and currently in my senior year in hig...

Ranger Jim, you would like exacts? 12:48 2 mile, 105 situps, 62 pushups. Ranger Rangertough: Didn't mean any disrespect at all, apologize that I came off like that. I was set on 11b Opt 40 while he was pushing for other jobs. I believe the Ranger Infantry can do outstanding things. 15W Unmanned Aeri...

Thanks Jim, I'm actually already pretty familiar with the Rangers and the Army in general. I can get a 280 on my PT test, a 300 after a week of working at it. When wrestling season is over i plan on ensuring that 300 and looking forward at the 12 mile ruck and 5 mile run. How easy is it for a non-in...

Hello, as far as I can tell there has been no forum that directly talks about this. I apologize if I missed it. I have been planning on getting an 11b Option 40 contract. I took a practice ASVAB though and did quite well (90/99) and he has been pushing for a job that requires more mental training. W...
