I think perhaps you missed the point that has generally been made by all of the Rangers who took the time to respond. You're the one who must make your own life decisions. Right now, you decided to remain in school for another academic year; and that's fine. It's your life and you're the one who ...

Rangers, thankyou for your replies. I realize that this board is not a place where I will find cut and dry answers to the tough questions of life. However, you all have something I do not which I want more than anything else. That experience makes you a much more reliable source of information than ...

My mistake. In your intro, Ranger EarthPig referred to you as Ranger.

Ranger Scoty, let me apologize for not properly addressing you. I did not realize you were a Ranger until after I posted. I found your intro, however, and realized my mistake. It will not happen again.

It is not that I delegate, far from it actually. It is the opposite. I am bad at delegating, actually. I have trouble organizing it all. I lead by example. I am not saying I am a bad leader, just not gifted in the areas of leadership that my basic understanding leads me to believe would be necessary ...

Need advice from those who have been there

Rangers,
Please forgive me for having to post, but as I begin to talk to recruiters I want to make sure I have chosen the proper path.

I originally was on track to graduate ROTC in 3 years, however decided that that route was not for me. Yet over the last few months, nearly every Veteran I have ...

Chris, you are going to fit in just fine. Now, sit down and tell us why you want to go to one of the Ranger battalions (Go ahead and tell me whatever reason you might have, I was never in the 75th RR). At least 25 more words, but fewer than 250.

I am a hard charger, plain and simple. I possess ...

But fuck up and it'll be "Skidmark".

Ranger Vee, would the name "Buckmark" be suitable? If it is taken, any addition of numbers is fine by me. But really, any name is suitable, as long as I don't offend any Veterans.

What exactly is the role of an officer anyhow?

Ranger Vee, by that I just meant that I would better serve my country if I carried out a plan rather than organizing one.

Also, my primary goal is to serve as infantry and, hopefully, a Ranger. I can always go green to gold and the experience as an ...

Nobody gives a shit how fast you run your mile in. The Army isn't going to hire you to be a track star, body builder, or kung fu master. So make sure you are well rounded physically before you go down this path. It does you no good to be the fastest dude out there if you cant even pull your own ...

Intro

Hello Sirs, my name is Chris. I just finished my first year of college, where I run Cross-Country and Track.

I intended to go the ROTC route and branch Infantry but after a year of college, I have come to the realization that the role of an officer is one for which I am ill-suited. I plan on ...
