Why Did I Want To Be A Airborne Ranger Right Out Of High School
Why did I want to be a airborne ranger right out of high school? Well it’s for one thing very hard to explain because I know some of the reasons but in the end I was honestly just drawn to it for some reason. I do know thou that I wanted to be something more than a regular army infantryman and that I needed to be something more, and equally as important I wanted to show my parents I could do it and make them proud.
Some of the reasons I was drawn to being a ranger was because I wanted to do what they do to go and fight the enemies of America and be in actually combat. I wanted to do all the things that only airborne rangers can do such as go ride in little birds and blow doors in I’ve always wanted to do that since I was a young kid but it wasn’t tell I learned about the 75 ranger regiment that I found out I could do it right out of high school. The whole life style of the army applied to me I wanted the discipline and structure in my life that collage wouldn’t offer me. I also want to be different from everyone else my age because I could have gone to collage I had very enticing scholarships but I turned it all down cause I knew I could pass all the test and I really wanted to be a ranger more than I wanted any collage degree or anything else. Being on the bottom is also something I could never have settle for when I was first thinking of joining the army. My personality just won’t allow me to settle when I think there is more I could do, I just always want to be the best and among those who think like I think. It’s just that need to win and be the best like my parents raised me to be. I showing them that I was able to accomplish the task I set for myself was a big one too, I didn’t want them to think I would just talk about being a ranger then let the opportunity slip through my fingertips. That’s why since I didn’t get one from my recruiter I worded my ass off in basic to get it every night doing pushups and sit ups so I could get picked for a contract.
