Introduction

Post by mcg26b »

Hi Rangers, my name is Mike and I am finishing up my first year of college. Some hobbies of mine include playing lacrosse, guitar, and running. The reason why I joined this site was to get information on the process of becoming a ranger. From obtaining an option 40, to learning what goes on in airborne and rip. I'm still deciding on whether I want to join the army, but as I understand it the army is in need of people to serve the country. If people dont step up to the plate and serve in this time of war, then other soldiers will be deployed for their second or third time. So far this site has been extremely helpful, and I like the honest, no BS manner in which this site is conducted.

Great site and I appreciate all the information that rangers have posted.

Forgive me Rangers for forgetting to capitalize the R in Ranger, also I would like to add that I am 19 years old.

Mike, a man has only one opportunity to achieve a favorable initial impression. Your achievement is mediocre. Read all the FAQs, as well as stickies and selected threads. The search feature is your friend -- I reserve judgement. Welcome...

You also forgot to capitalize RIP as it is an acronym that stands for

Ranger Indoctrination Program

Same thing, pay attention to detail.
