In college I had an ROTC instructor that fired me up about all things Ranger. When my money ran out and I had to look to funding the rest of my education I looked to the Army to help me out, but thanks to that outstanding mentor I knew I wanted to be in a Rgr Bn. Problem was, I weighed 125 lbs soaking wet, and the first recruiter I went to didn't want to waste a Rgr slot on the skinny geek from college. Nor did the second one. Or the third. By my fifth recruiter I had the sales pitch down pat, so I simply walked into the office, dropped my packet I had by then accumulated and told the NCO "Send me to Rgr Bn or I'll go see recruiter number 6." After he stopped laughing he simply said "You got it." I was gone 5 days later.

If you want it bad enough, then go get it.

No one will do it for you.
