Good luck stud. Stay focused. Keep PT'ing. DO NOT get yourself in trouble during hold over...Dozens have made it as far as you and then porked the pooch doing something stupid when they are this close....just don't.
Focus on your goal...even during the down time. That is when it is most important to know what you want vs. what you want "right now". Your life can change for the worse in an instant.
You have had a good mentor. You have worked hard. You will now work harder than you ever thought you could. This is what you have prepared for.

Re: All checked in to Airborne School!
Congratulations Cherry!
A month in RIP hold? Now it's really time to learn that 'zen' attitude that'll keep you sane through your enlistment for all those days you'll spend at departure airfields awaiting the birds to take you home, or not; to get through days of mind numbing work details, those immediate supervisors that you are twice as accomplished as....you'll know what I mean when you see it.
Think of RIP as preparation for Pre-Ranger.

Re: All checked in to Airborne School!
Well dang, I forgot about that one. Good eye XCRunner. Or more appropriately, good attitude!

Keep both ears and both eyes wide, wide open and that one mouth shut. You are being assessed already.
