My intent was to do a longer, harder training cycle this time around, and try again, but my paperwork says NTR. The SF recruiter told me that I can try again if I put in for a waiver.
I'm all about trying again. My question is should I go to Ranger school, or something like that to show my improvement, and dedication, or will just showing up again and giving it 100% be proof enough?
Thank you for your input.

There is no Magic answer to this. You have two factors that hurt you. 1. Bring hurt and 2. Your mind set.
Doing the proper PT prep is all you can do prior to going again. Getting hurt is something you can not stop you can only prepare your body and if it is 200% shape you lessen the chance of injury.
Your mind is another thing. You have to condition your self and have the mind set that you can work through anything. Your mind is a thing that only you can condition. Your outlook and positive mind set can get you through the pain and I can attest through an injury.
RANGER School is not a must but it may be a good test for you to see how far you can go before you go back through selection. It is good training and it may give you some good experiences to help you with your mind set.
Just my 2 cents....
They can not Kill you and They can not Eat you at least I think so...
