1st Order of Business

Clutch · Post by **Clutch** » August 18th, 2008, 10:53 pm

Hello all,

I have 9 years TIS. I'm a former 25S4O and commissioned early last year via the G2G Active Duty Option program. I've been stationed at Fort Huachuca, Okinawa, Fort Belvoir and now Fort Sam Houston - US Army South. I'm currently a sustainment officer and I aspire to become an 18A once my year group is eligible. More so, I aspire to join the ranks of the elite and earn the honor of becoming a ranger.

I'm aware of the challenges I face just being able to get to the Ranger course. I have no delusions of my chances. Thankfully, my chain is fully supportive and after attending airborne school in the coming months, the goal is to send me back to Benning for Pre-Ranger and then Ranger School early next year. My medical packet is complete and I've been training, reading, rehearsing and learning as much as possible. I'm surrounded by an abundance of Ranger Qualified NCO's and Officers who are doing their part to ensure I'm prepared.

I'll be more than grateful for the mere opportunity to attend Ranger school - if and when that happens. Because of the fact that being able to attend, in my position and branch, is harder than most...I'll never quit, I'll always keep faith and I will give it my all.

I'll keep everyone posted should I receive school dates and even if that does not happen, I'll still do my part to be a active member of "this" team.

With respect....

You are a shithead and a fucking clown.

You will be peered as a cry-baby and a buddy-fucker before your "new Army" ass makes it out of Darby. I'll put money on it. I know you from the OCS portal.

"With respect"

If given the chance...I look forward to proving you wrong.

Not sure why you're so animated and it truly doesn't matter. If you want to handle this offline, shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry, but from what you described, you don't know me at all. I truly believe you have me confused with someone else.

I do belong to the OCS board, as well as many others, but I'm pretty low key. I've never posted anything on the net that remotely warrants that kind of response.

Interesting.

You might want to understand the history of the OCS forum over here.

Good luck and welcome.

Well John....does this mean you don't much care for him?

Good luck, Clutch...

I'll up the stakes and put down double what your girl took home off the street last night.

You know, people are just too sensitive these days. Afraid to say what they really mean.

Welcome to the site... now, politely go fuck yourself.

Thanks...I knew it would be tough from the get go. I just didn't know the "get go" would be online :D

Darren,

That's a perfect example of the point made...

"(I say the following Politely)---------go fuck yourself."

or

because of the comma placement in the statement it could be:

"Go fuck yourself, and while you are performing said task, do so in a polite manner."

Good luck, Sir.

I never cared much for subtlety.
