IcePrincessKRS Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yeah, he won't actually be with a Ranger battalion, but when he completes the school he'll get the tab on his uniform. We keep laughing that he's going to be SO skinny when he's done with it. He loses weight every time he goes out to the field, Ranger school is going to be a trip. He's been practicing for the Ranger PT test, too. Did a couple practice runs around the course where they train. We went and watched him once. It made me glad I wasn't the one doing it. lol I hope you get your chance, though, especially if it's something you really want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have at least one tour in Afghanistan before that happens so he'll have had a decent run with the Infantry stuff. In the long run, though, it's probably better for the family as a whole if he's signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidemunch88 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 see the secret is doing the infantry stuff with out actually being a infantry soldier just roll with the 13bravos and kick in doors and stuff good times.

He spent 3 years enlisted (25B, signal MOS) before going to OCS. He's actually supposed to be mechanized infantry, but the unit he's going to next is switching to light before they head out to Afghanistan. Figures. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidemunch88 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 a butter bar woot woot lol What rank did he get to when he was enlisted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 He was up to specialist before he applied to OCS. (You need like 90 college credits and you can apply, so he did it that way instead of going "green to gold". He'll need his Bachelors before he hits Captain, but he is almost there so he should have plenty of time to finish up his degree.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
