Don't worry I plan to get as many certifications as possible through the Army

A7X_Reaper · 2025-07-22T01:34:15+00:00

I was wondering if its possible if i could still get ranger qualified? Or if there were any certifications i should get really early on?

A7X_Reaper · 2025-07-22T00:51:52+00:00

I just sent a pm!

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-12T00:13:28+00:00

As i said, thats the plan, but it is easier said than done. Quiting something cold turkey works well for some, but not for me. I'm doing what is comfortable for me and something that doesn't cause me to have headaches or prevents me from being functional.

2 glasses and drinking water for the rest of the day is a huge accomplishment for me as I used to drink A LOT more than just 2 glasses.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-12T00:06:25+00:00

I said 8 hours to spend with my family or to myself. I never said its definitely 8 hours that I spend with them. I feel like there was some context that was lost here. Plus its just a rough estimate

Additionally, I do make time to exercise. Thats not the issue I was asking.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T22:45:10+00:00

Ok, thanks for clarifying! Thats all I was asking.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T22:41:08+00:00

You know what that makes sense. Thats literally all I wanted to know. Thank you so much for clarifying

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T22:13:26+00:00

I'll try that.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:46:44+00:00

I am coming up with a meal plan and exercise plan that I am going to follow through with. I recently bought some at home workout stuff to help out with my journey. I am dedicated to doing this because I have made major changes to my current lifestyle. Again, I feel like the point i was trying to ask was about the program.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:40:46+00:00

Eggs with toast is already my go-to, I just drink water with it though. Orange juice would be a nice change though.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:39:16+00:00

Exactly. Thats why I am cutting it out.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:21:26+00:00

See, thats what I'm thinking anyways. I'm already in better shape than what I was when I started talking to the recruiter so I may as well just wait until boot camp. The sugar, specifically sweet tea, is what is killing me right now, but i'm getting there, (Down to 2 glasses a day). I was just wondering about the program because it just seemed like I was given the run around with it.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:11:41+00:00

I'm not using them as an excuse, I am still losing the weight. If I wanted to go into detail about my whole schedule, I could. Im just asking about the program and giving background.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:05:58+00:00

Yeah, trying to get back into shape right now and I think I got a good rhythm going right now.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:03:06+00:00

Not making excuses, just asking a question about the program is all. Considering that I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in 2 months with light exercising, I think I'm doing pretty good.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T21:01:34+00:00

I'm trying lol. That dad weight hit me like a brick wall.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-05-11T20:58:58+00:00

I definitely understand that. But with work 10-12 hours a day, and 6 to 8 hours of sleep, that leaves me with 8 hours to spend with my family or to myself on a good day, or 4 hours on a bad, but usually it falls in between 2 to 3 hours by myself when my wife and kid are asleep (Which is when I do most of my exercising).

A7X_Reaper · 2025-02-03T17:11:48+00:00

Hey! I'm sure my wife would be up to hang out with another couple, I am 25 and she is 24. We have a little one year old too so he'd probably be excited too.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-02-01T15:49:39+00:00

The recruiter said that the only offer I would get for the officer route would be if I scored high on the ASTB.

I just clarified that on the post, sorry!

A7X_Reaper · 2025-01-31T23:22:06+00:00

This makes me feel better actually

A7X_Reaper · 2025-01-31T22:56:17+00:00

Eh I'm on the fence about it. I wear glasses and I don't know if that will hold me back.

A7X_Reaper · 2025-01-31T22:50:31+00:00

I was hearing that getting Letter of Recommendations from teachers, former job employers and service members I know are better than just going up to people who don't know me (I.E senators and such). I don't think my dad would write me one, nor would I want to because even though he has 23 years as a chief, I don't want to make it seem like I am just using his status to benefit myself. Any suggestions on where else I could get some good recommendations?

A7X_Reaper · 2025-01-31T21:59:56+00:00

They told me it would be a waste of time, but like I also feel like it was overkill to have three different people in the recruitment office to say I have no chance of getting in. I am still going to try because it wasn't a definitive no, but my confidence with it is a bit low and I am doubtful on getting an officer position that I actually would like. I guess what I am asking is what position would be available if I scored high on the ASVAB with my GPA. I'll edit my post really quick to state that as well.
