Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, it unfortunately will vary on my work schedule. If I am able to, I'm planning on running cross country and track my senior year. Just to improve my runs some. I'm also going to start incorporating rucks into my training more often. I've been lacking in doing those.

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, I apologize for the wait. My recruiter said I can begin contract negotiations in two weeks when I become a senior. If i get my option 40, I'll sign then swear in. My latest APFT scores are: 2 mile - 14:15, 5 mile - 40:40, push-ups - 68, sit-ups - 75, and 15 pull-ups. I still ...

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, I didn’t ask my recruiter for my GT score however he did say I still qualified for an option 40, so it must be higher than 105. I’ve started a new workout program geared more towards functional fitness. Hoping to see some improvements in PT scores. Will post an update soon.

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, MEPs went well. The first day sucked. I had to take the full ASVAB because I didn’t verify my PiCat. So my ASVAB score is now an 88. Although that still qualifies me for everything. The second day went well. I was lucky enough to have one of the coolest guys in charge. He mad...

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, I appreciate the advice. I’m not signing anything unless it specifically says Option 40. My recruiter said I wouldn’t be signing anything at MEPs and that I’m just going to confirm my PiCat score, take the TAPAS, and do the physical/medical evaluation. We shall see. Right now...

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, great news! I received my MEPs date, April 15th and 16th. After that, my recruiter said he just has to wait for MEPs to process everything and then we should be set to sign my contract and swear in.

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger Disinfertention, I apologize. My reply to your question, I never sent it... I have not yet been contacted on when I will go to MEPS. I'll post an update when that occurs. I told my recruiter I wasn't signing anything unless it had an option 40 attached. He assured me with my persistence and g...

Ranger disinfertention, I completed the ASVAB Thursday night. I did not find time to study, however, I received an AFQT of 95 and all my composite scores were above 132. Therefore qualifying me for virtually everything.

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger disinfertention, chin ups are something I incorporate into my workouts in the gym. I don’t mind them, personally they’re easier to me than pushups. Not sure why... I did them after my run, with little to no rest. I’ve been asked to join the track team at my school, so I may join. Which will i...

Re: Introduction- Nathan

Ranger disinfertention, I have not yet completed the ASVAB my school doesn’t offer it, so I have to take the online one. And my recruiter said I can’t go to MEPs until I’m 14 months from my ship date, I have to confirm my test score. I am set to take it in March.
