Paul is being modest. So I will go ahead and brag for him. He had the fastest 5 mile run, the fastest 12 miler, and came in 2nd place for the final APFT (just 6 points short of 1st place with a 336). He also was one of only 6 selected to go to 1/75.

X2 and all.
The hard part has just begun. Don't go getting all full of yourself before you return to Ranger country, you might not be allowed back. "Quiet professional" just keep outpushing the rest of them.

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.

All the more impressive iin that by RASP standards, TRex is a late 20s FOG.
Maturity & strength...look out SP4 mafia! :twisted:
