Am I ready for Ranger School?

Three phases and 62 days of hell. This section named in honor of MAJ John Whyte who was taken from us on 04/17/05.

Were do I start.....

I started in Jan, failed pushups and spent 3 weeks in SRTAC.

I started again in Feb made it through Darby and failed patrols.

Spent another 3 weeks in Vaughns PLT and was a Darby Insert.

I was inserted into A co and went straight through, the only thing that sucked is I got stuck as the student 1SG for all 3 phases

123 days to get my Tab.

I graduated 4 May this year, I thought I did ok since im 38yrs old.

Like I said if you want it bad enough you will get your tab.

Pretty much sums it up, although I highly recommend the "straight through" method :wink:

As has already been stated by many: No one can tell you if you are ready but YOU... And you won't know until you get there.

Last I heard the average PT test score for a RS graduate was around 285 so you don't have to be superman... You just have to want it! You have to be able to work well with a team and draw from each other's strengths.
