Default Rangers?

Hey guys, i'm about to go to PRC here at Ft.Bragg and then off to Ranger school from the 82nd. I've been through about half of the SF "Q" course and then got out of it. I passed SF selection without a hitch, I was just wondering what your thoughts were concerning Ranger School compared to some other things? I'd appreciate if you didn't ask why I got out of the "Q" course, I had a bad time in Student Co!

Ranger School will turn out to be the hard event in your life. So hook up with a recent grad and pick up the latest intel on the phasing, demands, things you need to bring and be sure to ask about taking care of your feet.

Ranger School is just a big suck fest in my opinion/ though im sure its changed a little since i went through it in 2001.
PS. "Ranger" left some good tips. Good luck, and don't **** of any RI's.

Ps. "Ranger" Were you in one of the Three RANGER Batts? I was in 3rd RGR Batt.

You got it dude, just keep your mouth shut, ears open, and whatever happens just don't quit, think about quitting or even considering it, you will be fine, just like any military school it's just a matter of sticking it out.

just curious but what phase what your last in the course? But anyways, I'm here on bragg as well; you know of any f-body groups in the area? I've been trying to find one with no luck. I think I've seen your car around, I've got a red Z with billet grill/crome z06's

Phase 2...I have yet to find a f-body only group. Have you been over to horsepowerjunkies.com? They usually have local stuff on there and whatnot. Thanks for the tips guys.

I would just say be ready to be hungry... the physical stuff you wont have a problem with if you say SFAS was no prob. Remember RANGER school is a leadership training school... so you gotta play the role. Take good care of your feet... and listien with both ears when your RI gives you instructions.
