Enjoying my last few days of freedom with family. Shipping this coming Monday, 2/4. I intend to post updates whenever possible, from Benning to Bragg.
In the meantime, I can't say enough about how much I appreciate this site and the effort you guys have given to help wannabe's like me and the patience you've had to deal with our frequent, and sometimes dumb, questions. Anyways, I'm feeling great and I'm excited about putting myself to the test and seeing what I can do in these next few months.

Take my next PST in two weeks, this one should get me into the draft. I really wish I could have gotten this rolling early, but whatever virus I had really kicked my ass, so I've been working hard to get my act together. Been spending a lot of time in the pool lately. I'll post my scores after the test.
Also, if there are any other EOD prospects on here, racing kitty recommended me a phenomenal book that I would definitely pass on to anyone else interested in becoming a bomb guy/gal or interested EOD in general. Eight Lives Down by Chris Hunter is great.

Wrapped up week 7 today. Passed the final PT test we took on Monday and spent the rest of the week blowing stuff up including some pretty cool non-standard charges. I find out my battalion on Wednesday and don the tan beret Friday.
Congratulations, don't go full stupid over the weekend. You've worked too hard to blow it this close to the end.

Big congratulations. I knew you worked hard for this and you obviously put the effort forward to see your goals come to fruition.
Pumped for ya buddy! Congrats!!
This has been one of the most difficult and inspiring threads to keep up with. Tropicana98 , keep kicking ass.
Congrats! Finish strong and enjoy what you have worked so hard for.
I had two fun-filled days of in-processing at 1/507 and take my PT test Monday morning. Time to learn how to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
After you get settled in, send us a copy of your orders, and it will be our great pleasure to hook you up with Verified SOF.
Mara, just for my curiosity, how many folks have turned green in this forum (from a previous color)?
I can only think of one. It's a good question.
Damn, I'd like to see more.
I skimmed back through this thread and I might have to revise my estimate down. I'm not sure that anyone has gone from zero to hero in this thread, the one guy I was thinking of made it through the process before this thread started.
This thread and program were kind of cback0220 's baby though, maybe he or another member have more accurate information.

I can't remember if it was Rage2/75 or 2/75ANGER, but there's a thread here about a guy going from civ to Ranger over the course of about two years. He also went green to red later on
EDIT: It was RAGE275 and here's his awesome thread http://www.shadowspear.com/vb/threads/prior-service-vet-opt-40-denied.1977/
