Intro- Jason

Post by Green Viper »

I am going to graduate in 2013 currently 16. I have always wanted to be in the Army since I was little. Over the past 3 years I have wanted to be a Ranger. I have read a lot about rangers but I still want to know more and stumbled upon this site. I am a new and young guy here as I've read a lot here all ready this is not my house it's your's I will be holding my tung more than that in real life so don't think I'm some kind of pussy I'm just respectful.

Welcome Jason. A man has only one opportunity to create a favorable initial impression. Frankly, you need to pay closer attention to detail. Your first task is to self-administer a PT test and enter the results on this thread not later than Midnight, Sunday 24 April 2011. Never, never quit!

Attention to detail is required on this Forum, additionally you should use the search feature as your first source for answering your questions. Many have preceded you and asked the same questions you will have; the answers are here if you do a little research through the various topics. Read and heed.

I failed to use "good english". I also did not select a avatar from the "newt" section. I uploaded my own do I have to change it?

You are being handled rather gently for this site because of your age.

Most here are old enough to be your father; many here are old enough to be your grandfather.

Caution is advised as to how you address your elders - the title of "Ranger" is not generally given to just anyone, and those who have earned it are touchy about how it is used.

One suggestion - since you have not earned it, the title "Ranger" in your avatar should be removed, if someone doesn't remove it for you.

No, you were talking to Ranger Lefty. Read Intro FAQ - New members read and heed!

excerpt
unless you are an active duty servicemember or veteran, you will address them as 'Ranger' prior to writing their username, such as 'Ranger Saltbitch' or 'Ranger ABell9', etc...
Get rid of the unauthorized avatar ASAP.
You will not use Ranger nor any military item you have not earned.
