At this stage of my life, I am not sure if I would like to attend RASP and join the 75th as I feel like I am still inexperienced and I want to establish myself as good Officer first. I want to focus on my short and medium range goals to become a good Officer before I pursue other avenues. As I gain...

Are you a Star Wars fan? What is the origin of your screen name? Ranger rangertough, Yes I am actually a huge Star Wars nerd. 4_LOM has been a tag I've used for certain things named after the robot bounty hunter 4_LOM (4 Love of Money). I am surprised you caught that as not many people do. The very...

Is your name Tyler Jaydon Smith?

I made a few mod's on my own gear, being a pig gunner. SSG Gabriel and PFC Flow(both Nam vets) got me squared away on gear , little by little. The only thing I would have done different back then was to get ahold of some decent knee pads, and those camel backs would have come in handy! I firmly bel...

"I am very intelligent have no problem passing asvab." Seriously? I realize "very intelligent" is both relative and subjective but this puts the rest of your resume in question. You WILL come in contact with many of us during your time in Regiment so focus on creating a solid re...

Last year I participated in an overnight walk (18 Miles) through Seattle to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. The organization that puts these events on is the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. AFSP.org has donated more money to the VA in support of Suicide Prevention than the VA set as...

She looks like Jonathan Winters.

Thought it was the 110. Not sure they were ever available on the US market, but they are as common as Jeeps and F150s in the UK, and the go-to work vehicle of the Limey Landscaper. 90s were sold here for a couple years until we changed roadworthiness rules and it became a "tipping hazard"...

I googled and found nothing specific to this. I get a daily email from Military.com and they had as article on the 20% pay cut,...

I feel like a failure. Enough of this. Not one more time. You're a failure when you quit, don't quit. Unless you're one of those gifted few people that is born with talent (physical, intellectual or other) you have to work at something to get better at it. It isn't going to happen overnight. Nothin...
