He has done jump school and officer basic at Benning, after graduating ROTC at Mich. State. He is currently with 25th Inf. and will get a retry at Ranger School, Fort Benning, in Jan. (bunged up his leg 1st attempt.
Thank you for inquiring.
Small world. My son is with the 25th. He spent almost a year at Benning after "Green to Gold" ROTC out of Pacific Lutheran in 03. It would have been less time but the Ranger School couldn't take all the guys for the Fall class after IOBC. He did the Jan-March Ranger Class in 04 and eventually caught up with his unit in Afghanistan. Spent seven months as a Platoon Leader in Zobol Province just north of Kandahar. He's now the XO of an HHC in an Infantry Battalion.
I'm sure your son knows the hills of North Georgia can be cold for that three week phase. Whatever you do, drop what you are doing and make it to the Ranger Graduation.
