Finally Shipping Out

Post by DEP5796 »

I have been a member of this site for a few months now, just have been using the search button alot and most of my questions have been answered before.

I have a 11X/Option 40 and ship out tomorrow. Since I graduated in June I have been training everyday and just doing all I can that will be helpful to me in the future. I have been really motivated and just will do whatever it takes to be a Ranger.

I have dealt with alot of negativity from family and friends but I just brush it off and can't wait to prove them wrong.

I would like to thank all the Rangers and Veterans on this site. This site is a great site and it is great that you guys share your wisdom with us younger ones. I respect all of you and wish you all the best in life.

I appreciate everything. I will never quit. Wish me luck.


God Bless,

Erick

A short prayer for our Dep.

O' Grits....see this man as far as his backbone will take him. If its to the finish line we will welcome the warrior, if he quits....fuck him. :lol:

You seem to have a goal in mind. We've provided all your answers. Now you provide the guts. All the way and then some. It's your turn. Do it.
