Rangers,
A quick update. My leg wasn't getting better. I went to an orthopedic surgeon today. They did 2 x-rays of my back and found I have a pinched Sciatica nerve. They recommend 4-6 weeks of physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medication. So I'm going to take day by day until I ship and make a game day decision. Thanks.

Ranger xray,
Shit happens gotta keep rolling. I'm meeting with my Ranger guy tomorrow at Church. He said he has some ideas for me and not to worry so I'm not. I'm going to contact my recuiter Monday and see what they can do for me.

Rangers,
I went with my guy to the recruiting office. They were like who the fuck is that guy with you and he said "Ranger 1st batt active" they changed their tone real quick. If I Re-injury my Sciatica again during basic they'll allow me to heal up and recycle. My contract will still be there just the dates will be pushed back. I could renegotiate my contract for a later date but I will lose the option 40. There isn't anymore until 2018. FUCK THAT! The best advice I was given was "don't be a pussy and push through it." I'm scheduled Wednesday at 1 pm for the OPAT. I will fucking crush it!

Rangers,
Took the OPAT passed with flying colors. It wasn't an issue. I'm all ready to go on May 15.
