Introduction - Carter

Post by Cbrenn99 »

Hello Rangers,

My name is Carter. I am 19 years old and I have solidified an 11X contract with a March 4th ship date. I found this site a little late, but I plan to gather as much information as possible about the pipeline to the 75th Ranger Regiment as well as life within it before I leave. I was unable to obtain an Option 40 contract because I received shoulder surgery in 2015 due to a football injury during my Sophomore year of high school. I contacted the 75th Ranger Regiment liaison on Fort Benning and he said that during the 7th week of OSUT he will be giving a briefing to everyone on how to volunteer for RASP. I plan to volunteer and hopefully receive a slot to go to RASP. The reason I am pursuing the 75th Ranger Regiment is because I want to be surrounded by like-minded individuals that are motivated, professional, and want to be there doing their job. Also, I want to challenge myself every day and do something few people have. I hope to learn a lot in the little time I have to take advantage of this valuable resource. I don’t currently have an updated APFT score to share, but will have one posted within 48 hours.

Thank you, Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV.

My PFT scores are as follows:
PU- 63
SU-72
2 mile- 14:46

They are nowhere near where I’d like them to be, but I hope to score a 300 by the end of OSUT.

Roger, Ranger Lunch.
I will post a SITREP once I figure out whether or not there will be an available slot. As they days left at home dwindle down I am becoming more anxious and focused than ever, and this site has proved very valuable. I appreciate what you guys are doing here.

Roger, Ranger Lunch.
My apologies for the informality, Rangers.
I will do 100 extra push-ups today for my mistake.
