SITREP:Charlie

Post by Ginger »

I am starting my SITREP post as directed by Ranger Jim I am leaving for OSUT at Fort Benning on July 13th. I have been the DIC on the site for almost a year now and I am very thankful for everything I have learned from the site I'm feeling as prepared as I can be before I leave and will have no excuses not to give it my all when I get down there.
PT scores:
PU: 84
SU:83
2-mile: 13:32
Pull Ups: 16

Height/weight
5'9
175

Thank you again for all the time all the Rangers have put in to helping all the mentees prepare to start our careers.

Another Sitrep:
Just Turned Blue today and graduate OSUT tomorrow I get to spend the whole weekend with my family. OSUT was pretty easy no major problems I came down with pneumonia week 5 and got taken to the ER with a 103.7 degree fever after a land nav event. They brought the fever down and I didn't miss any training. Other than that everything went well and I'm excited to start Airborne Nov. 9th.

PT Scores:
Push-ups: 65
Sit-ups: 78
Run: 12:50

I was still sucking from the pneumonia in our last PT test and expect to crush the Airborne PT test.

Update:
Graduated airborne today finished my last jump yesterday which was a mass exit. We were the first airborne class to do a mass exit in two years since someone burned in. We were also the first airborne class to do a mass exit with the T-11s. It was done pretty well and it was cool being apart of this class there were only 3 center strikes reported (one of them being my chute) other than that all the jumps went smoothly. I head to Pre-RASP on Tuesday and then class up after Christmas I'm feeling ready as I can be and looking forward to getting started.

Ginger, When you arrive at pre-RASP, I will request that you check on your fellow mentees. I think we have at least a half dozen of them. Encourage everyone to submit a SITREP. never, NEVER QUIT!

Rangers,
Just a quick update, I am in Pre-RASP for a week now it's not bad it's just pretty boring. Not a whole lot of PT but I've been working out on my own I know Patriot just got here yesterday I already met up with him.
We should be classing up right after holiday block leave so it'll make for a cold Cole Range but I'm ready to get started and get through it. I'm still very motivated and have a good group of buddies here.

You won't be cold. Trust me. :twisted:

Keep your shit straight and get the others to stay on top of their PT as well, you'll see others quitting on Day 1, don't be that guy.

You've going to have a lot of time on you hands. You can do something productive with it or you can screw off, the choice is yours. Keep your eyes on the 50 meter target, remember your goals and give everything you've got, every time you give and never, ever quit! RLTW

Keep in mind, the first day back from Christmas Exodus will be brutal PT. That's an old Fort Benning tradition. Never, never quit!
