1st Batt bound. Last week of training is done. Passed final Pt test easy. Did the RPAT and RAW this week- did alright on the RPAT but holy shit do I need work on my flexibility and power; I guess that's what the RAW is there to show you... Received our battalions yesterday and turned gear in. Bought berets and flashes at Ranger joes and now spending the weekend cleaning CIF gear. Grad is this week.

Congrats! Well done.
 
Donned my Tan Beret and Scroll this morning. Could not be happier. I will post a bit more regarding how this community has helped me at a later date but I will say that you all have been huge motivators. Thank you. RLTW

I should change my profile name to Aquafina, because I get recycled more than a bottle. Made it through Cole Range. Physically and mentally solid throughout. But I could not unfuck myself on land nav. Got close to requisite points throughout and thought I had it the last iteration. Not sure how I dicked that up. Whatever- I fucked up and now I'm getting sent to pre RASP to sit on the rocks for a few weeks and hopefully learn to read a map before I get in with the next class. I'm just staying positive and using copious amounts of self deprecation to deal with this. It sucks but it only pushes graduation back about a month. And I know I can hang with the best of them now- I did a lot better week 1 during all the physical events than I thought I would. I wasn't even supposed to make this class and got in on a fluke so I'm looking at this as a test run before I go out with the class I was supposed to be in. Staying positive here.

Now the real work and training start... you just got through orientation. Congrats, Ranger.

Oh, I fixed a word for you, consider it a graduation gift from me.

Well done Ranger.

Now the fun begins. Remember to earn your place each and every day. Yesterday is a memory and perhaps a learning experience, today is reality and tomorrow's an adventure yet to be discovered .

Welcome to the fold Brother.

RLTW!

Good news, this redeployment to Pineland went much better than the first. With language already under my belt, I have to redo gates in January with graduation after that. Staying focused until the end, because it ain't over 'til it's over.

Well done! Knock out the gates and be prepared to be "selected and assessed daily." You've got the right attitude!
