Hi Rangers!

As the name says, I am a soon to be Ranger wife to a soon be Ranger. My soilder just got through RIP, and will be starting Ranger school July 6th. I am very proud of him, still doing research to see what our life is going to be like for the next few months which is how I came across this site.

As for me, I graduated last December with a bachelors degree in marketing. I am currently working for a government contracting company at Creech Air Force Base (right outside of Las Vegas). I am the communication between military personnel and my company, so it is an interesting job - and hopefully it will make for an easy transition into a career when he is done at Benning.

We already know that he will be at Fort Lewis when he is done, so if anyone has any suggestions on neighborhoods in Tacoma that are good or bad, I would love to chat with you! Also any insight you can give me on what to expect for the next few months, and anything I can do to make his life just a little easier would be greatly appreciated.

-K

You say he graduated RIP Fri Jun 27, 2008 & he's starting Ranger School 6th JUL08? Me, being an "old timer", I thought it was customary for a RIP graduate to be assigned 1st, to a Ranger BN before going to
Ranger School? Where was this RIP he attended located? (for clarification purposes to this "old timer".)

Oh, & welcome Ma'am.

I take it your soon to be is a NCO with a rank of E-5?

If not then let me know. No way a newbie moves that fast.

Is he a Medic? Sometimes if there is a long hold over for SOCM guys will get sent straight to RS from RIP. Rare, but it happens.

Ranger IDon'tCare -

He is an E-5. One of the few there. Appearently this time apart, though, is not doing so well on our relationship, so my soon to be may be not so much anymore. :/
