Introduction Chris

Post by allornothing »

First off I would like to thank everybody for this website, it has been an incredible asset not only for trying to become a Ranger but for anyone interested in the Military and physical training. I'm 21 years old as of a few days ago and swore in Wednesday this week with an 11x opt 40. I ship out 20130219. I've got 3 years of Army JROTC, 30 college credits and (was) working two jobs. Becoming a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment has been a dream of mine since I was a freshman in high school and I met a Ranger. I'm not in good of shape as I would like to be, I also did not expect my recruiter to find an 11xopt40 so quickly with such a quick ship date either. I also am still recovering from a sprained ankle which is a worry of mine. I'm dedicated though, and am not the quitting type. I come from a military family, and have lots of friends in the Service. I live in the Cincinnati area and am ready for my adventures ahead. I should be taking a PT test soon, and will put the results on here as soon as I get them. Currently I do not have internet at my apartment, so Ill do my best to get on here when I can. I'm 5'8 130lbs and have been lurking on this site for quit awhile. Thank you again for all the advice and insight and your service to our country.

You can't give 100% and then some if you can't even capitalize the "R" in Ranger in your 2 previous posts before me.
Tsk, tsk & you've given Ranger Jim a new name - lower case ranger jim.

I do not want an apology (however, fubaring Ranger Jim's name). I want to see it done correctly in the future - so press preview several times before you press submit.
