Evening Rangers -
My time in the DEP comes to a close tonight as I will finally be shipping out to Ft Benning tomorrow. This website and the topics discussed within have proven to be integral to my development up until now, and the info and lessons will remain with me throughout my journey en route to the 75th. I owe an immeasurable amount to the Rangers who have made this resource available, and for that I will never take what I've acquired here for granted.
I would especially like to thank Ranger HakweeRgr and Ranger goon175 for their wisdom and guidance. I consider myself more fortunate than most for having the opportunity to work so closely with such professional individuals. The values, qualities, and general approach to situations they have taught me have transcended everything I do. From day 1, everything I do will be to Ranger standards. I have the opportunity of a lifetime before me and I best treat it with the respect it deserves. One day at a time.
I will check in and post SITREPS whenever possible. Thanks again, Rangers!
