Intro.

Post by iceman28 »

Hello Rangers as well as everyone else on forum.

I'm 20 years of age with a drive to join the US ARMY. I unfortunately have some civil matters that I will take care of, but that will not hold me back on enlisting what so ever. I look forward to reading some very experienced and professional advice and input on this forum.

Thank you.

Welcome. Your desire to serve as an Army Ranger is appreciated. Keep us posted on how things progress with your recruiter. You need to run. Most of the girls on the local high school track team can do 2 miles in less than 13 minutes.

Ranger RTO thank you very much. What I ended up doing is taking 2 45 plates and putting them in a backpack running, which boosted my normal running time tremendously. I'm really fighting myself on these PT's in order to compete, even though I probably won't get an option 40 I'm still fighting.

Ranger IDon'tCare, I won't until most likely 2010. This is due to me getting a college degree. I feel it both is a good idea and a bad. Good because I have plenty of time to work on my PT and bad because of course I would want to join ASAP.

Thank you again Rangers.
