This, my friend, is a man you want to pay strict attention to..

Good luck with it. You will love the new job, trust me..

Man, this thread keeps getting better and better.. Here is part of the reason you need to toughen up your hackles; A friend of mine from way back when in Battalion, Jessie, is in charge of RASP. If you are lucky (or unlucky, as the case may be..) you may get to meet him. This last group of mentees g...

I have a feeling that the Ranger you met was telling you that you wouldn't make it just to get your hackles up, to see how it would motivate you...and was he talking about RASP or Ranger school? ( not that it matters..) For what it's worth, the main way team sports will help is with conditioning, bu...

OK, here is my assessment; Forget it. You will never make it. Give up now and save yourself a lot of headache and physical pain. You will be miserable. For the evacuation? You are on your own there, bud. Get a hold of some citrate of magnesia or golightly. They taste foul, but you will shit your pan...

I knew I'd heard of Overstreet before..

As far as I know, there are always a handful of reserve component in the competition. Usually they are from National Guard SF units, but there were a few guys who came from plain vanilla units that were Ranger qualified. Unfortunately, the reserve component guys never seemed to last more than a few ...

Ahh, yes! this is the other guy.. Max Manus. THIS mother-fucker DEFINES Bad-Ass!! In reporting his death, the state radio network said he ''did more damage to the German war machine that many major military actions.'' http://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/22/world/max-manus-81-dies-fought-nazis-in-occupied...

Fuckin' A Right!... Let's keep this shit going!.. Here is one diggin' in the crates. Not the original guy I was thinking of, but he definitely fits the criteria! Hero of the Telemark dies aged 101: WWII commando carried out raid on Norwegian Hydro plant to thwart Nazi's A-bomb plans Norwegian Birger...

Stress fractures are NOT something to be trifled with. The up side is they are an easy fix, provided you follow the advice of medical professionals. If you push it, a stress fracture can turn into a regular one in the blink of an eye. Ten days, pain free at a normal activity level. That is when you ...

For the record: If you intend to go to the Ranger Regiment ESPECIALLY as an infantryman, you should be VERY much interested in getting your Tab. To do so as a grunt would be a fool's errand. Without it, you are nothing. Less than nothing. Also, read what I have posted about the asthma wavers in the ...

Don't know a lot about that style. They are all pretty good, I suppose. That is to say, a dude who has studied Tai Chi for 20 years is not to be trifled with any more than someone who has studied Tae Kwon Do for the same length. I know it is on the harder end of the spectrum. I would say the most im...

If I may be so bold.. Get yer' shit in line as needed (read: Get your PT score up, NLT 280), study some Ranger history and learn the Creed, keep your current MOS and THEN go to RASP. I used to work side by side with the FIST'ers (granted, it was peace time..) but a 13B private in the Regiment is doi...

..it would only benefit you both to have someone with a solid background of taking and grading PT tests with knowledge of the standards. It'll give you a more solid idea of what needs improvement. True dat. Most civilians don't realize there is a standard for for doing push-ups(and pull-ups) , and ...

Welcome. Go for the medic.

Make sure that you have yourself squared away before you come up here...

True Story..
