Jim,

Thanks for the welcome. Here is what I have been doing to prepare myself for my training and a place in the 75th Ranger Regiment; PT with my Sergeant once every week, push-ups, sit-up, and focusing alot on running, studing the creed, values, general orders. Recently I have spent alot of my time on this site reading forums and personal experiances form everyone. Never quit, be an exceptional soldier even as a private and to take intiative, are peices of advice that has hit me the most and I have taken to heart. If there is anything that you know of that I need to work on or improve, post them please. Thanks

You can also start by addressing Ranger's here by the title they earned. "Jim" is not your buddy and should be addressed as Ranger Jim. Carry on.
