Re: Sitrep - Affirm369
Your guest speaker is an old friend on mine. CSM Jeff Mellinger is one of the finest soldiers I've known. When he retired, he was the last Viet-Nam era draftees on active duty. Never,, never quit!Affirm369 wrote:Well Rangers, the time has come.
I, along with the rest of class 02-13 have finally graduated. It has been a long road to earn my place in this organization and it feels absolutely awesome. As I previously stated, I will be going to 2/75. Now the constant challenge of keeping my tan beret and scroll begins. I am proud but know well that when I show up I need to be on my A game and show my leadership I am worthy.
I would like to thank all the Rangers on this website, particularly Ranger Jim and Ranger Goldcoast who provided me with all that I needed to be ahead of the game.
Here is where I speak to the aspiring guys who want to reach this point. I could sit here on a soapbox and tell it all. I won't though. Just listen to the Rangers on this website who know what it takes to be successful. Everything they tell you sets you to exceed standards in order to not just pass RASP but to be a great soldier.
It all begins here!

I arrived at JBLM today and will begin the fun sequence of inprocessing tommorow. The cross country drive definitely shows the beauty of our country. Looking forward to getting started.

Re: Sitrep - Affirm369
Plenty of "help" around here if you need it (ie. I tied one on and need a lift from the bar). Come the holidays we would be glad to host, if you're here, you have an open invite for dinner with us. Check your PM's.Affirm369 wrote:Thank you blueskiesalways.
