That makes sense. Thanks for the breakdown.

Cole Range...check. We lost 26 guys the first day there and actually 29 the first day because 3 VW'd before the ruck out there. My class started with 136 and now we are down to 87. On to week 3.
Keep at it bro.

Just graduated bct today, heading to The airport around midnight and then off to fort sam houston to start the next step. I'm extremely motivated to get to where I wanna be. I scored a 274 on the first pft and worked my way up to a 292 on the final pft, I plan on maxing it within the next month. I'm doing my best to put myself in a position to be successful and get that rasp slot. One of the things I've realized here is that Everyone and there mom wants to be a Ranger but no one is willing to put the work in to get a rasp slot or keep the one they already have. All in all bct was a good experience, But I'm glad to get outta here!

Enjoy Ft. Sam but stay outta trouble! Good luck on getting RASP.
jesus christ I remember when Tropicana would PM me random questions about CAG and this and that going back 2 years.

Tropicana this is some real moto stuff man. You started this thread when you were still in college and you got to this point. I admire your consistency and dedication brother. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, stay moto.
Yeah I've gone back and looked at some of my posts on here from awhile back...:wall:
I think a lot of us prospects have grown up and become significantly better educated on our aspirations since joining SS. Just another reason why this site is awesome and invaluable to those who take what's been advised on here to heart.
Don't worry I did the same thing when I was a DEPer at AR.com

That's awesome @Tropicana98- you're an inspiration dude! Keep at it!
I epicly failed my first few weeks here. The fail is so strong with those posts, I doubt I'll ever look through them... Even as a SEAL lol. The Shame is too great

Participated in the A/5/19th SFRE over the weekend. Didn't make it. The long-short of it was that I was pretty much unprepared for an Army-style PFT and quick succession of events. I'd like to thank the Cadre who put on the event for being incredibly professional. I'll see you again in May!
You know what the funny thing is though, I don't think many people other than you remember it. ;)
Sorry to hear that, at least you know what to expect now.
Have you looked at the CA ANG for a PJ slot (or 125STS in Oregon?)
Exactly. I have a much better idea of what's in store. I had totally prepared for the wrong stuff for this event, even to the most innocuous detail. For instance, my ruck was completely packed and set up and ready, but I missed simple stuff like a blanket and pillow (and lost a lot of quality sleep because of that).
Really, what I'm most thankful for is that the 19th group gave me a fucking shot at it. If you've read my stickied thread in the SOF Prep forum, nobody even gave me a chance to prove myself before. This time, this prior Marine nobody got just as much as chance as the super CANG infantry PT studs that also showed up. For that I am most thankful.
Trying out for PJ briefly crossed my mind, and while they're certainly very brave men with an important mission, that mission doesn't appeal to me as much as the SF mission sets do. CCT also sounded fun but they have no ANG units in California.
Signed up for SFAS class 7-13. PT test in Feb, and class starts April 1st. I realize I said I wanted a shot at RASP, but today I was being thrown a shit ton of questions about why I got back in "their army" by some NCO's. Pretty much they were like, so what happens when you go to Korea in 6 months? I said I don't know.....then just went down the the SF Recruiting office. I fixed that problem. I have already been training for RASP, and I finished Arabic 1 in college.
I had originally asked about SF, and switched to wanting to go Ranger a while back. From what I understand there are places to do strictly DA stuff later on. No matter what I just want to be around people who want to be there. I do feel dumb because I flip flopped around a lot, but it's time to put up or shut up.

We crossed into phase 2 today(get our phones back, get off restriction, etc.) The class in front of us graduated today which was pretty cool to see how excited they were when they got back to the barracks berets and all. We also started the day with an 8 mile cadre led forced march...good times haha.
