Blake,

While it is ok to think about your future, and the "what ifs", do not get hemmed up about them. If this is something that you truly want to do, then commit to the door and do it.

Your next task is to research the MOS's that Regiment offers, pick 3 interesting ones and let us know which ones they are.

Also, I want you to run an RFT. Hand release pushups, plank, 5 mile run, and chinups.

Looking forward to your reply, and don't quit.

11B- Infantryman
68W- Combat Medic
35L- Counterintelligence Agent

11B: Infantry is my focus. The missions 11B's do in regiment is what I want to do, I believe that these missions are the only things that could satisfy me in life. I hate desks. I won't be a civilian.

68W: Combat Medics have been something I've considered, I like the idea of being at the action and helping brothers who have been injured. Though it isn't the same action as Infantry. I'm looking for Infantry.

35L: Counterintelligence Agents sounded interesting, although I would not do it. I hate desks. Conducting investigations and identifying international terrorist threats seems interesting, but I'm not here to sit at a desk all day to plan something, I'm here to do the something.

Hand Release Pushups- 40 in 2 minutes
Plank- 3 minutes
Chinups- 9
5 Mile- 45:16

I'm sorry for the delayed response. I did not like other attempts. Starting 2 weeks ago, I f'd my health up. Piss is black-orange, other things, but I'm going at it

Dunno what's happened, but I'm glad it's happened now. This is how I'm going to feel during RASP, and for a lot of my time in Regiment, if not way worse. I'm glad I'm training to push through this crap. I live for this shit

Rangers, just did a 12 mile run for the first time. Completed it under my goal of 2hrs 30mins, with a 2h24m. I did better than I thought I would but I can still do better

This was without weight. I need to be able to do a 2h30m with a rucksack

Am changing some things that I have been in for a while. Have seen friends for the first time in 6 months and am now hanging out regularly. I actually like to be social and was pretty popular when I used to talk to people - but I just don't know what I fucked with the last 13 months. Have made that different now. I can't be an Army Ranger if I am too fucked up. What I did made me strong but its not good for me.

Have also been working on getting better balance instead of doing only 1 thing 100% of the time. Have made a workout plan that I can do at home and balance with school, although have missed a lot of days. There's no excuses for that, I just gotta do it since I have time. I have made some pretty decent changes right now, and have made really a lot over 2.5 years since wanting to be a Ranger.

The thought that I could be an Army Ranger has kept me hope for life and has had me bettering myself trying to become something good.

Have accomplished massive social changes, overall look better and have less noise in my head. Doing actually excellent. A right-now goal I have is to get great at social situations, this will also help me in the Military. Being good at communication should help me lots. Am really just relearning this but in a different and better way since I am very different to how I used to be a long time ago before I stopped talking to people.

Also have a gym membership again which I love. Gym workouts seem to do way more than my home workouts.

For right now I get strong, improve social connections, and finish off the last grade of school. Build myself into becoming as close as possible to what an Army Ranger is. Secure this and make sure it happens since the chance that I could be a Special Operations soldier is what had me keep trying at life. Forgeting about that and just doing pleasure now that my life is happier is just not allowed to happen.

Mold my character into the man that I want to be

Roger, Ranger BlueLiner.

Lots has happened, massive improvements.

I notice I didn't make a great first impression in my first message on this thread, but that's in the past.

There are many things that have happened, and through that I have been able to learn a lot, which is good. I believe everything that has happened and that I have learned will support me on my journey to becoming a Ranger, and I look forward to the day that happens. There is more time spent in an actual gym now which is good, since those workouts are better than my home workouts regardless of the amount of time at the gym. I have been able to get more clarity in my mind too and this has enabled me to have more realizations about things and just people in general, and being stronger and having the correct frame of mind. Additionally I have started a new part time job just for income now and am learning how to be social with new people instead of old, which is good because I can create new relationships and first impressions with people, and I change a lot during only a few months frequently. I have also started to look physically much better too which is good.

On another note, just two days ago I decided just to walk home from the city to my house starting from 9:03pm, getting back at 9:43am. The days before that I was going to bed at 8pm and waking up at 4am too. It was cold and wet and I wasn't prepared for it to be that wet and cold, that's okay though. I am actually really happy that it was worse than I thought it'd be and I wasn't prepared because that was pretty damn sick.

Day I got back after showering and sleeping, I woke up and I was a bit broken physically and my face looked pretty terrible lmao, but I'm glad I've done that because I know I'm going to end up experiencing way worse in the military, and this stuff is honestly just great. I love it. It was only supposed to take 8 hours though, but I made it take longer. Next time if I'm in the same situation I would need to do it faster and it should be able to happen.

I went back to sleep that day (waking up at 4pm) at 8pm and got my clock reset back to normal time which is good. And I'm better recovered now too which is good.

That wasn't much of a big deal and there's a lot that's also happened too recently, but I thought that was interesting and I just literally did it and am only kind of just now recovered. I got back yesterday, it's 19:01 for me now.
