Shipping in 14 days. Damn, I am pumped. All you other Deps stay the course. I know some of yall still have awhile to go, but stay focused and the time will fly. It has been a long 8 months for both myself and my family.
Try to remember to SEARCH and LISTEN to what the Rangers on this website have to say. Continue to train, keep pumping your brains with knowledge and remember that when you are tired or want to quit, THAT I AM STILL OUT HERE BUSTING MY ASS TO REACH THAT GOAL!
Thank you to all the Rangers and other BTDT's on this site.
Scout: I wish you luck and good fortune in this endeavor. Yours is the greatest sacrifice I have heard of any DEP on this site. If you can make it, with all you have going on in your life, then all those who do not suck and have no excuse. Best of luck to you and make sure you update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Clock Continues to Countdown. I see the Site Mod has made a preliminary change to your status to '@OSUT'.
Now that you have less than 72 Hours until you report for active duty, I'm sure that this year's Christmas surrounded by family and loved ones has taken on a special meaning and flavor for you. Almost, if you will forgive the assignment of such a phrase, as the 'Last Supper' and hopefully the significance of it was of such lofty proportion both for you and your family. You are about to enter into what will be the most life changing experience for you thus far. Take a last good look around you this year, that's what you are serving to protect.
I hope it was appreciated and that the opportunity to enter the brotherhood will not be squandered. That you will do it for yourself, to prove yourself worthy and to not let your family down, by failing in this endeavor.
One of the DEPshits on here recently wrote that he was denied the opportunity to fulfill his contract, that he was forced to accept a different assignment right at the reception station and that four others were also offered the same and that the other four, instead of becoming US Army soldiers, opted to return home to the relative safety of their family and neighborhood as they could not become Rangers. I for one, seriously doubt that four out of five individuals would opt to return home, having prepared mentally and physically for some time to serve, to have tied up all loose ends at home prior to departure, to having said their goodbyes to friends, family and loved ones, to have put all personal effects into storage or given up some belongings, etc... only to return home with a mission unfulfilled.
I view that as 'returning in shame' and I seriously doubt that four out of five individuals would make such a decision, when the alternative of honorably serving our nation in a non-Ranger unit could have easily been fulfilled, and that the option of serving in a Ranger unit later could still be accomplished.
Choose your future wisely Scout78, in your day to day actions. Thank you for putting your name on the dotted line, and accepting the responsibility for protecting those who don't serve, and who will never fully appreciate the weight of your sacrifices. Good luck.
