Rangers,

Just a quick SITREP to put out there. I have successfully arrived and completed week 1 of 6-7 for pre-RASP. I think we're going to have a good class. We have 6 mentees from the forums going through together including: myself, luckyonethree, gwill7, smsst14, woody, and Giant.

We've heard a rumor that RASP may be shortening to at least 7 weeks because of mobility being taken out. We've also heard it may be 6 because they want to condense the m4 and m9 into the same week... So we'll see. Hopefully we will be done by Christmas so we can see our families.

Rumors are just that. Until something is a confirmed fact told to you by one of your RASP Instructors the only thing you all should be thinking about is your end goal. Not rumors, not Christmas. Not even your families.

Concentrate on your PT, land nav, Ranger History and keeping your noses clean.

I've heard that RASP is going to be extended to ten weeks to insure graduates arrive at their unit with a more complete knowledge of Ranger History, especially as it concerns the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols of the Viet Nam era.

Roger, Ranger Slowpoke.

It seems there have been a couple rumors going around about the duration of RASP. The recycles here at pre-RASP have told me that the cadre had said it was being cut down and now I've heard you say it may be pushed to longer; I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out when we class up.

I heard that they were extending it for 2 weeks to let the rumors grow and fuck with peoples heads to see who's weak minded.

Rumors-scuttlebutt-shithouse lawyers-barracks media = bullshit. Do push-ups.

And you have to eat a live possum during the SERE portion.

Personally, I thought when I added a little hot sauce, it wasn't too bad.

You got a live one?!? Lucky bastard, mine was 3 weeks past due...

labod, here is a piece of ''life advice''. When talking with someone, LISTEN to every word they say. There are people who can bullshit you and have you thanking them for screwing you so hard. Listening or reading you have to pay attention to what the other person is ACTUALLY saying. An example is when they start using words like MAY, CAN, MIGHT, SHOULD, and AS MUCH/LITTLE AS it's an immediate red flag that they're trying to screw you. Attention to detail will save your ass.

Rangers,

I did not mean to promote rumors; I don't believe any bit of them. I only meant to post them here so that one of you may deny or confirm if it was in fact true or not.

Darryn, I want you to know that I have great confidence in you and the other five members of the pre-RASP class. I expect success! Never, never quit!
