Well to all of those who remember me here and have kept up with my posts from Ft.Gordon GA heres another update
On Thursday a Ranger Recruiter came by to talk to everyone in my Batallion who was interested in joining the 75th Ranger Regiment. Well Low and behold he brought some volunteer statements and gave me a pretty good assurance that I would be able to go straight into a RIP course from Airborne school...If I'm a Airborne holdover for more then 3 weeks then I should be able to go straight from Graduation at AIT back to Ft Benning for a RIP course before going to jump school....So I have signed up for it.
SO now my Orders to go to Alaska should be cancelled....Any of the "Old" Rangers here know much about this sort of stuff or any words of Advice...
Also I took my EOC PT Test on monday and passed my pushups portion with 81% so only a little ways to go till my back is up to 100% strength...I didn't start to tire out till I hit about 40 Pushups which was just more then a minute into the test...
I ended up with 58 pushups, 57 situps, and a 12:48 2mile run all weighing in at a wimpy 195lbs
I should be able to max my pt test over the next 2 months I have left at Ft. Gordon. so as long as my back gets back up to par and I can keep working out more then our usual PT I should be physically Ready to go...
