My name is Aaron and I am a 26 year old computer programmer from Dallas, TX. I graduated college in 2002 with a degree in Computer Science. I have been lurking on this site for nearly a year and have read nearly all relevant posts pertaining to Rangers, PT, and the recruitment process. Today I enlisted into the Army with an 11X Option 40 contract. I look forward to the challenge of becoming a Ranger and will keep this board updated with my progress. Following is some pertinent information on myself:
- Contract: 11X Option 40, 4 years, $20000 enlistment bonus
- Ship Date: 20060919
- ASVAB AFQT: 96
- Self Administered APFT: 261 (pushup form verified by doing them in front of a mirror)
- 5 Mile Run: 39:33
- Dead-hang Chinups: 12
- Body Type: 6'0" tall, 180 pounds, lean muscular build (I apologize for not having an exact BF %)
- APFT: 300
- 5 Mile Run: sub 37:00
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: pushups, situps/crunches, pullups/chinups, flutter kicks
- I supplement this core workout with free weights in the 8-12 rep range exercising a different muscle group each day.
- Runs are done on non-workout days. Once I quit my job, I will be doing runs M-F and resting on the weekends.
