Hello Rangers.

It has been awile but here is what has been happening with me.

I have been in R.I.P. for three weeks with Dan908 and Monsoon. This last Thursday I took the final R.I.P. pt test. I had had a pulled muscle im my chest but didnt want to go to sick call in fear of getting a restart anyway so I tried my luck. I came up short around three pushups. I did 84 situps, a 33:17 run and got the pullups. I guess it wasnt my day. Im not going to give up till I get what I came for though. I will start again in the next class around the 4th of January. I wish I could start today.

I will never quit, and will know that I earned my place.

Thank you.

Keep your head up stud and your eyes on the objective. Stay motivated and you will be alright. Atleast your getting another shot at doing it again. You should be thankful because most don't. In the mean time keep your nose clean, get better and practice push-ups just to be safe. Train but don't over train. Your body needs a little time to recover after 3 wks of RIP. Best of luck!

Keep your head up. You have a great advantage in this next class knowing what's coming this time. Just give your body time to recoup and you'll make it this time. Keep pushing you're almost there.

Roger Ranger Tenn-RGR, that was my 5 mile time. Sorry about the delayed response, this is the first time I have gotten to the computer since I left the previous message.

Also, thank you Rangers for the quick responses. I am very thankfull to not only get the chance at another go but to also get the next two weeks off for christmass before I start. Not many people get such a clean round 2.

Thank you,
