Dont waste time calling anyone at the 75th, the Regiment has nothing to do with the school.
Try some contact through the NG's own Warrior Tng Ctr for a NG pre-ranger slot. You are not getting the cultural or professional background you need on weekend drills.
At your age, you need to really be working out far more than you are, no matter how good your condition is.
There is no time to recoup in RS for a FOG like yourself, what you go in with is going to have to carry you through.
Meanwhile, read the schools & recruiting forums.
and do more PT. If for no other reason than the fact that you're 39.
