Very encouraging... I am headed to Afghanistan in a month as a E-3 team leader... I'm really nervous and excited, we are headed to COP Badel in Konar Province, which we're told is one of the most kinetic outposts in Afghanistan.
My best "school" so far is the Pre-Ranger Program @ 25th ID, taught me that my body will far outlast my mind. Unfortunately we only had 5 Ranger slots, and my battalion choose to send more experienced soldiers to Ranger School over me.
