Have a good attitude, never snivel, listen and pay attention to everything that you're told (maybe even take notes-hint) and then, don't be late, don't be light and don't be out of uniform. It's really that simple. Notice I said simple, not easy :wink:

Have a good one and don't quit Ranger.

Congradulations Ranger.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

Burn that into your brain. Your mentor is exactly right. Congrats, Ranger.

Congratulations Ranger! When you get to Reg., watch very carefully so you can determine who the best Rangers in the Company are and hang with them, and copy everything they do!

its a fun experience...haha. actually it's what you make of it. shut your mouth, study, do what you're told and apply what you've learned and you'll do fine.

Congrats welcome to regiment. I heard some good words the other day and good advice if you keep your mouth closed most of the time you look 50% smarter.

Great advice here from all. Extra Cope, mouth shut, eyes and ears open. When I first got to Batt I felt as though I had just started serving time in a State Prison, Rangers were hanging out of their windows whistling at us, yelling we're going to kill you, throwing shit at us from their windows, and that was the easy part.

It got worse at night. :lol:

Congratulations young Ranger.
