Rangers and mentees, I reported to Pre-RASP this past tuesday from airborne school. I'm not going to ruin any surprises but my airborne class going into pre rasp had 7 people drop shortly after we got there. Just push through it, it's just a test to see if you're going to quit on day 1 or not. After...

Sorry for the late update. I successfully completed all 5 jumps and earned my wings this past Thursday! I was made the class leader for now until we officially report to pre rasp this Tuesday. Jumping out was the best part of the whole week, once you go through it, you'll understand what I mean. Wor...

Roger, Ranger IEDmagnet. I jumped off the 250 ft tower today which was a unique opportunity. The past 3-5 classes haven't used the tower at all. It really builds your confidence under the canopy and gives you an idea of what landing will feel like. I really enjoyed it, I'd do it all over again. Hope...

Rangers, I'm currently in week 2, tower week, of Airborne school. I want to start off by saying this... Do NOT listen to the P.N.N. (Private News Network) before coming here, all the rumors are BS so far. There's no such thing as the "41 club" for push ups, just lack of ability to perform ...

I finally got my orders for airborne and am heading out in 9 days! Beyond excited to finally leave AIT after 22 weeks.

Quick Sitrep: I graduated AIT on July 8th, about 2 weeks ago now, with honors and have earned 3 COAs (certificates of achievement) and two technical certificates in my MOS field. Feeling extremely motivated! I'm still waiting on orders for Airborne School and I'm in holding here at AIT until I recei...

I'm officially MOS qualified as of this past Wednesday and will be graduating on the 8th as an honor grad. Now just have to wait on orders and continue PT. 10 Mile Ruck today. Will update again when I get my airborne orders. Happy 4th of July weekend!

Quick SITREP: I've completed my SSD1 training, trying to fast track from SPC to SGT. I have received a COA (Certificate of Achievement) during my time here at AIT. Tomorrow is the final exam for my AIT course and I'm set to graduate on the 8th. I'm pushing for either distinguished honor grad or hono...

Roger, Ranger Jim. Graduating AIT in 13 days, not including today. Still haven't received orders for Airborne. Good news is, my platoon sergeant is allowing me to skip "inact" details after graduation so I can focus on training for RASP. I went on a short 4-mile ruck today with 45 lbs in 5...

Roger Ranger Rangerjd. Roger Ranger Jim, I included my pull-ups in my last post. Many of the other guys who recently graduated AIT, who had projections like I currently do, have been pushed back for their airborne slots. I'm afraid this will also happen to me, but oh well, just means more time to tr...

Rangers, It's been a while since i've updated. I'm still at AIT on my 13th of 17 weeks. One warning I have to give to the mentees is to stay focused while at AIT. Not everyone will have the same motivation and dedication as you, many are just in it for the college money and could care less about our...

Ranger Jim, I've started my classes and am expected to graduate AIT in early July. I haven't taken the Farsi test, simply because I can only speak the language, I can't read or write. I'm attempting to teach myself these next 4 months however. First phase of AIT is hard to have too much free time. F...

Roger Ranger Rangerjd. I've graduated from Basic Training officially and arrived to AIT. The Army allowed me to travel via POV (personal operated vehicle) to get to AIT with my parents right after the graduation ceremony. I was able to get a weekend pass as soon as I reported to AIT this past Friday...

Rangers, Here's a quick update from basic training. I graduate this Thursday from Fort Jackson and I'm off to AIT at Gordon for the next 18 weeks. Basic training is not what I expected, maybe it's because I'm at Jackson... Way too easy.. PT was a complete joke, if people didn't do pt on their own ti...
