Introduction

I'm 24 years old and have 5 years of college under my belt. I'm .74% over and run my ass off. I've always wanted to serve in the Army especially in an elite combat unit. Anyway I run 18-20 miles a week and watch what I eat and hopefully will pass tape within the week. I'll then get started with the paperwork and won't leave meps till I get what I want. I'm know what I want in my contract but I don't really know how to say it. I do want opt 40 and airborne. What exactly is RIP and will OUST pt my fat ass enough to I can pass the initial ranger PT test? Also opt 40 sounds like a secondary job rather than a primary one. Can anyone enlighten me?

Welcome.

I weigh in at 238 so my recruiter is taping me and he told me to lose another inch.

I appreciate you guys setting me on the right track. I have been browsing through various forums and have learned a lot and I have used the search and have found many things but I guess I'm just looking for more specificity. Basically I just want to know as much as possible before I sign anything and I want to get things done right from the start.

Who the Fuck are you talking to?

You said you read through forums here. Apparently you need to work on your comprehension. When you are speaking to a Ranger, make it kwn. The correct response would be. Ranger RiserBurn I am 6'1''.

Try it again.

Ranger Matador275 well when i was in college i ate a lot of crap but so it's in my gut but I do have a naturally big build and I do have a fair amount of muscle mass. Guess I'm just a tree trunk.

Guess you need to change up your cardio plan and fix your girlish hips. Do a search for PT programmes on here and see for yourself how you can work yourself in shape.

For instance, you could stop reading and instead do 50 elevated pushups!
