SITREP - Ry

Rangers, I figured I would begin a thread in this subforum to provide an update on my process thus far. I just graduated from Basic Training yesterday, and am currently in the airport awaiting my flight to San Antonio for 68w AIT. Basic served as a solid introduction to soldiering, but I know that i...

Re: Introduction - Ry

Rangers, I realize that it has been a year since I last posted, so I figure I am long overdue to provide an update. I finished my freshman semester of college and did extremely well in my classes. I'm glad I took the time to learn as well as physically prepare before enlisting. Additionally, I becam...

Re: Introduction - Ry

Roger, Ranger Disinfertention. It will be tough to pick which MOS to pursue, but I will make sure to heed your advice and remain patient, both with my own decision making and my efforts in communicating with a recruiter. Whether I have to wait briefly or a long time for the contract I want, I know t...

Re: Introduction - Ry

I noticed a typing error in my post above; knocking out 50+1 for my lack of attention to detail.

Re: Introduction - Ry

Rangers, I apologize for my inactivity on the forum as of late, and figured I should post an update. I currently have less than a month left in the fall semester of college, and have being done well and really enjoying my major, exercise physiology. Additionally, I finally concluded my allergy testi...

Re: Introduction - Ry

Ranger Disinfertention, I will definitely be aiming to obtain the 11x Option 40 when I eventually meet with a recruiter. I understand that specific contract is in high demand, but I have the benefit of time on my side and won't have a problem playing the waiting game if I have to. I am anxious for m...

Re: Introduction - Ry

Rangers, Since it has been almost a month since my last post, I figured I would post an update. I have been doing PT 6 days a week, and have incorporated more volume for pushups into my routine. The added volume is paying off, and upon retesting my pushups, I am now at 56 repetitions in 2 minutes. T...

Re: Introduction - Ry

Rangers, A quick update: I discovered Ranger Silverback's pushup improvement plan in the "About Army PT" section of the forum. I will be implementing the program into my training routine in order to improve my extremely poor pushup numbers. To provide a little more background about myself,...

Hello Rangers, My name is Ry and I am a 19 year old college student from MA. I discovered the forum a few months ago and finally decided to create an account.
