New nute introduction- Dylan

[smokeeater1061]

Hi Ranger's Id like to start by saying thank-you all for being that 1%. I will start by saying I am twenty three, 6'1,195lbs. For the last 4 months I have gotten serious about becoming a Ranger, I have been a lurker on this thread and others for some time at least five years or so. My father was E/51st Americal Division. My father is the embodiment of what it means to be a Ranger, he lives it every day at the young age of 66. Some of these values have already been instilled in me.

I have memorized the phonetic alphabet, army values, most of the rank structure and have the Ranger creed on my wall, it is kind of difficult to memorize but I will continue to memorize more everyday. I scored a 57 on my ASVAB with a GT of 114, and am currently working through the first steps of the enlistment process, If I am a go and continue on to get a Ranger contract I will update further.

I was a volunteer firefighter for three years, my pt is something that needs heavy work, but I started back in April of this year not being able to do more than 1 pull-up, 25 push-ups and 25 sit-ups and not even able to complete a 1 mile run. I have in this time quit smoking, lost 20lbs as I weighed in at 215lbs. I completed my first 6 mile run two months ago and everyday I am getting better. I average running 20-25 miles a week now over Missouri hills cross-country on gravel and into town on asphalt.I live about 14 miles from Fort.Leonard Wood. I gave myself a pt test and pushed to the max and did not count the last 5 on pu or su because I do not believe they were correct form and a 1 mile run, I still cant run a two mile for time but I improve everyday. I workout 7 days on 1 week 6 days on the next, running everyday 2,4,or 6 miles.. btw I am up to ten pull-ups as of two days ago

Here are my results from my pt test self administered 40 Push-ups, 36 sit-ups, and 1 mile run in 9:45 I was hard on myself if it was a full effort until muscle failure and I could not push one more complete up or sit up one more complete, I did not go at a slow pace on my run. I gave 110 % and slept all day to day, as my body is recovering. I failed I know but I am improving, my goal is to surpass the RPFT. I am not here for pity or answers to questions I can find myself, I signed up for mentor-ship and to add to my commitment to wanting to be apart of one the baddest fraternities on planet earth. Rangers Lead The Way ! If I am not allowed to say that tell me and I will correct myself, Thank you all.

Welcome Dylan. You recognize the need for personal improvement. That's a good thing. Have you been talking to your local recruiter? Never, never quit!

Thank-you Ranger Jim. Yes I work with a Recruiter about 350 miles away in a different state, but I am keeping up to date with him. Waiting to move forward and see if I goto meps I am still early on this path. If I may ask when should I post another PT assesment ?

09/27/2013 Hi Ranger's , I will start by saying I am twenty three, 6'1,203lbs.
I was a volunteer firefighter for three years, my pt is something that needs work, I started back in April of this year not being able to do more than 1 pull-up, 25 push-ups and 25 sit-ups and not even able to complete a 1 mile run. I have in this time quit smoking, lost weight as I weighed in at 215lbs. I completed my first 6 mile run. I workout 6 days a week running almost everyday. I need to improve distance and speed. The motivation is here and my mind is strong, I will never quit !

Here are my results from my pt test self administered 40 Push-ups, 36 sit-ups, and 1 mile run in 9:45 I failed I know but I am improving, my goal is to surpass the RPFT. I signed up for mentor-ship and to add to my commitment to wanting to be apart of the 75th Ranger Regiment. Thank you for reading. Thank you for your service.

*Sitrep* 12/29/13

My fitness is improving my best times and scores are as follows
Situps -60 under two minutes until muscle failure
Pushups- 40 until muscle failure
Two mile run- 17:20
7 - 10 pull ups. Ive begun the last week 125 pushups & 125 situps a day or better in as many sets as needed but until muscle failure. My goal is to increase to 500 eventually but aiming at 175 apiece a day over the day for now with strength training, and other calisthenics.
Update as to status of my enlistment, my recruiter in Arkansas failed me, I am now working with a more local recruiter but I may be destined to go back to school and get my education back to par. Thank you for your time Rangers.

Newb Dylan, do 50 push ups for creating more work for the Admins here to unfuck.

Pay attention to detail.

kbk1061 name change is smokeeater1061.
His most recent re-intro has been merged into this topic - so some posts may seem out of context.

Carry on Mr. Fireman. You are G2G (Good to Go).

Dylan, you are lucky that everyone is in a Christmas mood. Knock it off and get your act together. This is not facebook!
