checked out the 6th ranger bn.
went to the sixth ranger battalion open house on saturday morning. those are some tough hombres right there. they acted like a bunch of goofballs during the hand-to-hand demonstrations, and took the whole thing with a lot of fun mixed in, while at the same time beating the hell out of each other. The rangers in the demonstration were completely oblivious to any pain or discomfort whatsoever, it was scary as hell.
I am going to apply for ranger school immediately after boot camp.
on another subject, i found a girl that would meet even your own standards, she's the valedictorian of my school to say the least, she can talk politics like a pro, and she's friggin perfect. unfortunately, i have only eighteen days before boot camp. any tips on where to take her? dinner, symphony perhaps? my buddy set us up for prom, so we've met to say the least. talking about politics while slow dancing was a real turn-on for me. she's going to NYU on a free ride scholarship this fall, and i want to at least be able to write letters to her from BCT.
I am not going to let an opportunity like this pass me by, she's the first non-stupid, non-insane girl i have met in my town
thanks for reading

Hello again Gunner,
Glad to hear Ranger school appeals to you. You will need to take an e-mail address for me with you when you go to basic. Let me know how you make out and all that.
Bravo for the excellent find in a young woman. It doesn't happen very often, so don't piss it away. ;-)
Now, you failed to supply the critical info required to answer your question: What does she like to do and where does she like to go?
Whatever the answer to that is should determine your choices.
Does she like StarWars? Then get advanced tickets for this weeks opening. Opening night would be a nice treat.
Is she well read? In other words, is she a cool frood who knows where her towel is? In yet other words, does she love the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Has she seen it? No? Then take her.
What is her planned major for NYU?
Find something related.
If she is studying criminology see if you can arrange a police ride-along for her and yourself. (If they do that where you are.)
If the weather holds for you, find out what she likes in the way of food, and orchestrate a picnic she will not forget.
Give her a happy memory to keep in mind until you can return to see her again.
Most importantly: If she makes it clear that she isn't interested in a relationship right now, don't be a jackass about it.
She's going to school and you are going to the Army. There are reasons to think twice about getting a permanent thing going right at the moment.
If you are cool about that now, you will have the chance to show up at her school in uniform someday. Ranger badge and silver wings in tow; topped with the the single most Hoo-ahh! high and tight haircut she's ever seen. Brother, you will look so sharp you just aren't going to believe it.
If her last memory of you is a pleasant one, and she's sick of the endless stream of useless liberal pukes at school, she will be very glad to see you again.
Be advised: College changes people. You are going to want to see what happens to her after she's been there awhile. You might not even like her by the time you are ready for that visit.
Be advised: The Army changes people. She might not like you by the time you make that visit. You will also have a better grasp on things when you finish your training. What you look for in a girl may shift. If she can't deal with Army life, you have no chance. This is assuming you stay in for awhile. (Very likely at this point, as you would fall over if I told you about the re-up bonuses they are offerring 1st quality Rangers.)
Either way, I hope you two get along and have fun in the here and now. If you need further advice on where to take her, you will have to tell me more about her.
One final thought:
Don't play the baby lottery. The odds would scare you.
With your asvab score you shouldn't do anything to risk acceptance into Ranger training.
DangerNerd.
