You'll be fine as an O-1 as long as you can avoid injury (not to jinx you) and pass the ranger PT test.

What are your PT scores?
I'd love to go but being in the AF it's nearly impossible to go.

Lol yeah it sucks. I passed RPFT easily and got hurt during CWSA. My ankle was swollen and turned purple. Kept going on it till day 3 through Land Nav but the pain was too much after Malvesti. Went to medic prior to 12 miler. Im luckly its not worse though or else I wouldnt get a shot to go back.

Good luck. I got hurt on Darby queen, tore my labrum and rotator cuff so I got recycled but ended up needing surgery. Be careful and don't quit, its all a mind game. They will punish you physically and drain you mentally, you will be beyond exhausted at times, but its fun. Good old RTB, and good ol Dahlonaga, GA.
