Introduction-Matt
Hi my name is Matt M., I am 20 yrs old and I am in the National Guard. I am in my units Sniper section and I leave for Sniper school at Camp Robinson, Arkansas next month. I will be deploying to Afghanistan next year with my unit. So far the plan is to get through the deployment and go active and earn a spot in a Ranger Battalion. Was curious if any one had any tips for running, I currently max both push ups and sit ups on my APFT but I run in the 14's.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

Re: Introduction-Matt
Welcome Brother... Camp Robinson is pretty nice. The ranges are amazing. If you get a chance to take a bike tour of the base, don't get geographically embarrassed like I did out in the training area.
