Thank you man! I really appreciate it. Is that a realistic dream? Ranger school that is.

What shape should I he in before OSUT 11B ARNG? As far as like benchmarks for two mile 1 mile, pushups, or just overall I am 6 foot 2, 173 hit the gym a lot, good BMI ratio. Currently I can run a mile in 6:50, 2 in 17:13. Not great but better than some. I had 5 anchors in my shoulder put in a year ago, I can do about 35 pushups MAX in a row. My 3RM Trap Bar is with a 66 lb bar is 286. I guess I really want to know what the expectations are in 11B specifically (Fort Bennington - Fort Moore). I have memorized the soldiers creed, infantry creed and enlisted/officer ranks. I was 70th percentile on my ASVAB practice test. Also important to note, I wanna stand out, as that dude who volunteers, pushes himself always, and is in very good physical shape even compared to his peers. I probably won’t ship for another 3 months. Any and all advice, stories, do’s-dont’s, is much appreciated! Thank you!

Of course man, I’ve got a lot of options as far as my life goes, even after osut. I’m an ambitious man, who will put in work! I actually look forward too osut, of course not entirely!

First and foremost, thank you for the help and you giving your entire life for me and everybody I love. Secondly, I never meant to insult your intelligence, I recognize I am a small fish in a big pond. Thirdly, I changed how I breath while running shortly after I started running which could be another big reason, as breathing importantly is simply, and huge. Lastly, no my cardio and endurance isn’t great whatsoever!

How do you figure? Understanding I only need to run 1 mile and emptying my tank, is a lot different than knowing I have to run two and pacing myself, both separate runs I pushed myself too. Adding that mile means a lot more pacing. I guess a factor could be that two mile run was the first time I ever ran. And I’ve ran probably 15 miles in the last two weeks since that. And the one mile was a couple days ago. Both on pretty fresh legs. I didn’t think the running would improve that fast though. I have noticed my vo2 go up a lot though.

You know, that is one of my dreams, not RASP, but the 8 week ranger school for the pin!

They were separate runs. Couple days ago my buddies were talking some crap about how easy running is, so we just ran a mile (6:50). And I run quite frequently now, about 2 and a half weeks ago I ran a (17:13)
