Fargle

Went to Starport. Had a great time. Seized. Came home.

Like I said, Fargle.

Crapola. Take care of yourself.

Quick Qs for you about the Rangers.

How long is the training
Can someone be a Ranger on a 2-year hitch?

RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) lasts two to three weeks, depending on the needs of the Regiment. This is the bsic "do you have what it takes" program

The Ranger School lasts about 2.5 months. This is the one that gets you the Ranger Tab.

Thanks.

~3 months training, they probably let you do it on a 2 year hitch, right?

Just so you know, someone is claiming to have been a Ranger, yet he's only 21...

Possible. Enlisted right at 18, OSYT, Airborne and RIP Take up about 5 months. Spend the rest of his hitch in a Battalion, and get out at twenty.
