Hey guys so today marks the day that I have completed Airborne School. I have been here for 3 weeks learning how to properly exit an aircraft control a T11 parachute and make a proper landing to prevent injury. Today was my 5th jump from the plane with a full combat load (rucksack, modular airborne weapons case which just had a plank of wood in it that they call the M2x40) all the gear weighed approx. 130lbs. I had a pretty hard landing as my combat gear got stuck and didn't lower right away causing me to not pull on the proper set of risers at a high enough altitude. All in all it was fun and was just another step on my journey to become a Ranger! Next is Pre-RASP!

That's pretty much it I don't know if you guys will find this interesting or not just felt like sharing as its a pretty proud day for me.

That's awesome it's quite the experience! and thank you! I'm so happy to have that under my belt.

 

congrats man! you must have major balls to jump out of a plane 5 times :o

 

good luck of PRE-RASP!

Aha thank you! It's a pretty terrifying thing at first my very first jump I was actually 1 man and had to stand by in the door for a good 30 seconds watching the ground fly by! But I just jumped without a second thought!

I find most things ineresting ... So ... Good for you ! 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

I have Pre-RASP next which is a holdover company for the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program which is an 8 week program designed to determine if you should be granted entry into the 75th Ranger Regiment Special Operations Raid Light Infantry Unit. After that I would do various schools such as the extremely difficult Ranger School Leadership Course and Air Assault.

A lot of people get the two confused. Completion of Ranger School awards the Ranger Tab which makes you Ranger qualfied but you need to complete RASP to get a Ranger Scroll which makes you a real Ranger.
