Ranger Jim, I just completed the asvab test. I'm pleased to inform everyone that my GT score is 120 and ST is 122. We are headed to the hotel now and off to the MEPs physics in the morning. Once that is done, off to get my contract.

Rangers,

Just a quick update on my progress. During my packet review the civilian handling my contract flagged my medical condition and threw a big stink about me not having a waiver for it and argued with the SM at MEPs that he original waiver was only to process. I was only able to obtain a 4opt due to my waiver DQd me from getting a 40opt. This will not stop me as I will place myself above the rest and seek out the Bat Recruiter. I ship out to Fort Sill 20160222.

Excellent SITREP. As you can see in the letters from school, a good number of our future soldiers earn a RASP slot in OSUT/AIT. Never, never quit!

Ranger Jim, I'm going to give it hell for sure. AIT is at Fort Sam and during one of my 4day I'll request a pass to seek out the SORB recruiters in El Paso.

Ranger Grim, I've stuck with 68W and pretty excited about it. I'm just a little nervous about the national exam. Before I get to that I need to focus on basic for now.

Good morning Rangers! Just a quick sitrep. I graduated BCT yesterday. Nominated platoon guide and held it through the whole cycle unlike the other PGs. Also, I am an honor grad and was promoted to PFC. One of my DS is a Ranger from 1st Batt SSG Heyz Seeker. He won Soldier of the year in 07 and best warrior. He's been guiding me through basic I'm currently about to step off headed to Fort Sam now. Once I get on the bus I'll give a better sitrep.

Just talk to your platoon Sgt you don't need a SORB recruiter. Have to push usually though down there to get it.

Good sitrep. Put it in the proper forum next time. You're not new here.
