Intro.

Post by jzachariahg »

Hello, my name is Zach, my grandfather was an Airborne Ranger in Korea in the Ranger Reconnaissance Company (did the same as it does today) and I want to do the same in the 75th. I do cross-country, swim, and track at my high school where I am a 16 year old sophomore. I train hard every day and already meet or exceed all the physical standards for all special operations forces. I practice the martial art system. I take all AP (adanced placement) classes at my school, and take the ASVAB next year.

Thanks, and 287, I know I can do better, but I've been getting over being sick. I've been straight physical training for over a year now, and for example on one of the threads it said something along the lines of DEPs, do 50 push-ups and one for the Ranger in the sky, don't ask just do, yeah I did it. It's just that I used to be fat and the stereotypical american boy who wanted to go into a Special Operations Forces, but didn't have a chance physically, I changed that.

Ranger Jim asked you to post your pt results in this thread - & - I don't see them. 287 is your number. Old timers like me want to see the separate numbers for each exercise of the APFT.

Before you post again, go read the site rules and regulations. Don't ask, just do. We'll know if you followed these instructions the next time you post.

Yessir Ranger Cams, I am aware I need an avatar, I sent a DEP who offered to help me a private message about how on my gallery the Newts section does not show up, only the DEP, Tactical, Insignia, and Flags sections showed up, I asked him if it was a site mix up, likely a computer mix up, or if I had somehow screwed up, he has not yet replied. I am respectfully asking you sir, if you know, I did not want to waste anyone else's time until I was sure I was not doing something wrong. That is also why I have not yet contacted an administrator, I'm not sure if it's an internet, computer, or operator error.

I have the same problem as jzachariahg. The Newt section isn't appearing on the drop down menu.

Don't sir me. I'll tell you one more time to go read the rules and regs of the site. I am not doing your work for you and you are about a short hair away from being a douche nozzle so far.

Keep up your stupidity and arrogance and see where it gets you.

I apologize if that's how I came off, I was trying to be respectful.
