Wait. Honestly, my last two posts were not supposed to be disrespectful or counterproductive at all. I honestly was trying to follow the advice given to me. Please, point out in my last two posts what I have done wrong. I was going to stay quiet, but one of the members asked me to post back. I tried not to be sarcastic, retarded, disrespectful. I tried to be humble and honest. I want to be here on the forums, and I can't even figure out what I did wrong this time. Whatever it is, I apologize again and hope that I can square my shit away in the eyes of the community.

Once again, I respectfully ask that someone tell me what was wrong in my previous two posts.

Replying to Ranger Matador275 was expected, he asked you a specific question and it requires an answer. And I suspect that you didn't answer that question, wait for his response.

Everything else was unnecessary!

Do Not PM me again.

I would love the chance to prove myself worthy of the Tab, but I'm also not sure if I'm morally qualified for that anymore.
I understand that in the end, I'm responsible for everything that happens to myself, I really did get into a bad situation and I honestly got railroaded.

There is more of your crap, but this will do for now. Since you care to call it out, why don't you take the time and answer my question.

As much as you all say I'm welcome, it really doesn't feel that way.


Human instinct, your body knows when it's in a bad situation. You're afraid already, probably the reason you quit or were run out the first time.
I am sorry that I chose an online unit to be in that conflicts with your beliefs.
Hmmm....interesting way to put it. Conflicts with our beliefs....?
The way I see it is like this, you joined the army once, you failed immediately at 'basic' infantry and now you choose to cloak yourself in the armor of Warrior's by attaching the title Ranger or @75thRangers to whatever you touch over the net.

You have already failed in your second chance by taking the easy road. You want the title of Ranger, yet you don't want to earn it.

You want to 'fight' like a Warrior, yet you want to do it in the 'relative safety' of your home, while on the other hand, we have had to live like fucking animals in mud and rain and sweat and blood. We have seen our friends die and we have tasted fear with every meal. We have earned that title, and we alone, shall bear it properly. This, you will never understand and this is how you disrespect our fallen Brothers.
I am an American citizen who enlisted when he was 18 years old.
...and was almost immediately booted out, or quit, which one was it stud?
I'm not trying to say that I've accomplished shit, because I haven't.
The only thing you've posted so far that is correct.
But like everyone else said, I'm only 22.
The majority of Ranger squad leaders are 22, what's your point? Take the tit out of your mouth and check your excuses.
Once again, I don't have anything but respect this community, but if what online gaming unit I'm in pisses you off this much, then I guess I honestly don't belong here.
...and the finality of it all. You say you have nothing but respect for the Ranger community yet you still argue and fail to respect our point of view. If it pisses us off this much (and it really doesn't, but we have the responsibility to protect our unit's name and our unit's honor. If you haven't been there, how can you represent 'it' accordingly?) don't you think that maybe we are onto something here, maybe it's not that you don't belong here, but that your online gaming unit doesn't belong anywhere while using our unit's designation and storied history.

I've tried to be civil and explain this to you in a way that hopefully you will grasp, hopefully you will take this back to your friends and help them understand what it is we are protecting.

We are not just cavemen that think we are better than you, we are men protecting hundreds of years of Ranger history and Ranger blood, so that their memory will never be tarnished.

Do not respond to me, there is no need.

You are however, required to respond to Ranger Matador and answer his questions, quickly.

Ranger Matador275, I enlisted in the PAARNG when I turned 18. I think it was May of 2002. I was not going to go to college, I was just going to go to the Guard and let them pay for my school. But during the summer, I was offered a one year ROTC Scholarship. I contacted my URNCO and told him this, and my commander signed a waiver that let me delay my enlistment for 12 months to see if I could get a full scholarship at college. If so, at that time, my enlistment would be cancelled and I could continue as a contracted cadet. So I went off to school, was trying to just trying to earn a full scholarship. Right before Christmas, I was offered the 3 year AD scholarship. Well, over Christmas break, I got into some legal trouble. Alot of legal trouble. I used all of my savings to fight these charges, because like everyone says "I was innocent". But on top of that, there was not even any evidence to support the case. Just one liar. So I spent all of my savings, which was close to 8,000, and thank God my parents helped too, but eventually we ran out of money and I had to plead to ONE misdemeanor count. So I have one misdemeanor count. By this time, I already had lost my 3 year AD scholarship. I continued to go to my Guard drills for over a year, but once it came time to go to BCT, for some reason they told me no, and gave me a General Dischrage for failing to ship to BCT on time. Honestly, this could be a good thing, because I was originally a 27D. I enlisted before I really knew what I wanted, and I know I do not want to be a paralegal specialist.

Now onto my try to re-enlist. I worked with an AD recruiter, and we had all my shit sorted out. The Recruting BN CO approved my waiver for my one misdemeanor charge, and I had to fill out a statement of what happened. Once I submitted that, I was assured that everyting would be fine, since I was not DQ'd in the regs. But I got denied. It turns out the Recruiter doctored my charges sheet, so what I wrote in my statement didn't match the charge sheet. Even though my statement was the true one, they told me to go away for a while. So here I am, waiting for the time to resubmit my waiver. I've heard that the best thing to do is be a good citizen and contribute, so I'm trying that. I had already volunteered at the VA before this, so I'm doing that again. I am trying to finish college. I would really love any other suggestions as well.

So there I am. I honestly want nothing more than to get back to the Army. My girlfriend is a contracted cadet and going to nursing school. I pretend that it doesn't bother me, but I get pretty jealous everytime she puts on here BDU's and LBE to go out for lab. I want nothing more than a US Army nametape above my pocket. I realize that the life of a Ranger or even a leg infantryman is not about glory and fun; but honestly, I want nothing more than to just have the experience.
