Like most people here I'll be following the career path of my father, but instead of a law firm I'll be jumping out of C-130's with my fellow Rangers. TFM.
Quit saying you are GOING to do shit. Get the shit done, walk with some well EARNED swagger, and don’t brag about it.
You’re like the kid on the first day of rush saying he’s going to be the best pledge ever and wants to be hazed. You’re full of shit and have no idea.
I actively avoid telling people what I do in the Army. They get fixated on that instead of me. I’ll take the respect my peers choose to have for me. No one else knows what they’re talking about.
You can pick up the hardware at the PX for like $5. If you actually had it, you’d be at the bar telling chicks you’re a truck driver or whatever made up outlandishly unimpressive bullshit story you come up with on the fly. And they’ll still walk out with you cause the real you shows through.
Sorry. Walk in a bar with 30 pilots and it’s suddenly unimpressive. We make a game out of making up the most absurd shit. Girls see the underlying confidence/swagger. It’s funny as shit.
Don’t do shit for badges/tabs/awards. None of that shit means anything. There is nothing you can do in a couple months that makes you a lifelong bad ass. Go to schools to actually learn stuff you need to know to keep your troops alive.
Listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about… There is a reason you’ll never walk into a bar and see a ranger (or seal, etc) bragging about all the shit they’ve accomplished, it’s the ones who have accomplished nothing who try and make up for it with bullshit… IF, and a huge if, you have what it takes to make it through ranger school, I guaran fucking tee you will not come on this site and talk about what a bad ass you are…
First off, don’t count your chickens before they hatch….you aint a Ranger yet. Second, aspire to jump out of something a little better than a C-130…C-17, Sherpa, UH-60, anything is better than a C-130.
Being a soldier NF. Your just a pawn to fulfill the 1% goals with the bullshit excuse that your serving your country. Stick to the law firm, squeeze our way into the government and send troops to war to make yourself richer. FaF
My dad was a Ranger before he went SF. I was born at Ft. Benning where he was an instructor at jump school, I’ll be doing the same thing. God bless.

13 years ago at 5:09 pmYou, sir, are a hero! Thank you for all you do!
13 years ago at 5:33 pmAs a 75th RGT, I’m calling bullshit on this one….
13 years ago at 5:52 pmBeing RQ, I would give the guy some advice:

13 years ago at 6:39 pmFrataholic was on a roll and then he started talking about truck drivers shopping at the PX and totally lost me.

13 years ago at 12:04 pmI agree with Frataholic as I said above, Do it and then you can talk about it.. Strong will carry on, weak will fall by the wayside

13 years ago at 6:06 pmAgreed…I’ll take a Case or Sherpa ramp jump over a door jump any day.
13 years ago at 6:32 pmHows about you do basic, AIT (Perhaps OCS in between), Airborne and Air Assault first. Then worry about ranger school.
13 years ago at 6:55 pmThis guy^
13 years ago at 7:02 pmAfter OCS, you go to BOLC, not AIT, stud.
13 years ago at 9:57 pmYou know what I meant smartass.
