They cleaned the RTD building nonstop till 2330 or so, then returned to the RIP barracks as far as I know. It was quite the eye-opener to watch/listen to it all...

I'll say one for him, he still has Land Nav where the class will thin out a little more too. I am glad he is still upbeat for this, he can do it!

We made the decision to book our flights before our son had completed the course. It seemed cheaper to take the $100.00 cancellation fee, than to book the ticket at the very last minute...and then we kept our fingers crossed.
I can understand you not wanting to jinx him!!!Sounds like your son is doing GREAT. though....
I believe the RTB web site has the dates you are looking for.

His son is still in RIP, not Ranger School.

Mom,
RTB has NOTHING to do with RIP, you are thinking about RTD
