Hello, my name is Nick, I'm 26 years old and from California.

I'm currently enlisted as an Intel Analyst for US Army Africa and trying to become a Ranger. My dates for Airborne school is 26 August 16 and my class date for RASP 1 is 25 Sep 16.

I'm looking forward to the challenges of becoming a Ranger and hope to one day be apart of the Regiment.

Thank You CharlieRanger1FFV!

Ranger Jim,

to be honest with you, I want to be a ranger because you can find the best soldiers and most experienced leaders in the Regiment. As a young soldier I try to be around peers that are similar to me. goal driven. go-getters. etc. Personally, I do not consider myself to be on the level of a ranger just yet, but with a little bit of help and some guidance, I can be. I joined the military to jump out of planes, do cool things, and find out when I just can't take it anymore.

Lastly, the rangers have an awesome lineage. They've been in just about every single War and I want to be apart of a cool unit like that.

Thanks for your time.

Nick

Welcome to the site, Nick. Remember, Ranger is always capitalized. What is your rank and how much time in service do you have? By your sig line, I believe you have 2 years time in service, but you put down 2017 and that date has not arrived yet. Give everything you've got, every time you give and never, ever quit! RLTW
