    Ranger is pretty tough, just dont quit. Dont forget to tape or brace your ankles during night jump

    Good luck!!
    Haha ankle braces...when I was at airborne, they gave one of the other companies these braces to wear, and more people got hurt from that company than any other, so they did away with them after one trial run. Just keep your feet and knees together...PLFs are overrated anyway.

            thats funny though, when was this? my bet is that they didnt release the mortars baseplate before they hit the ground

                Hello, LT at FT Lewis (4SBCT) here.
                First, do you have a college education? If not, go enlisted, use the gi bill and tuition assistance and get a degree, you won't be declined from OCS with a college education, provided that you're a good soldier. You've already signed the contract, so getting it changed isn't likely, go with what you got and make the best of it for awhile. You'll be fine really, it makes a good stepping stone into becoming an officer. As for OCS, I've seen E7s go and I've seen E2 privates, it's all about the caliber of the soldier. If you have any questions, feel free to im me.

                Yeah, that's right!
