Always capitalize Ranger.

Why did you address the MOS you aspire to achieve as 35 Nancy? Why are you presumably making fun of something you want to do?

The beauty of my contract is that I got the 2 aspects I was pursuing when looking for an MOS, a mental challenge, as well as a physical test.

1. I'm sure that Micheal is not a Ranger and more than likely didn't claim to be. Pay attention to detail look, at his avatar is it Cherries?

2. What is the word associated with the letter N in regards to the militaries version of the phonetic alphabet?

It is not up to you to give our Ranger(s) new names.
Each Ranger earned his own name, in this case it is Ranger KW Driver.

Okay now, welcome & congrats on your opt 40.

If your speech is as verbose as your prose, you will soon have rather large triceps.

Read much and post little more than what you are asked.
