Focus

I have been thinking about what I will focus on during my stay in Kuwait. I have come to the decision after talking with many senior enlisted, warrant and commisioned officers that I want to go to a Ranger unit. I want to do real intel with a REAL unit. I have also been thinking of how I will set myself apart from my peers whom have already been deployed and will be one step ahead of me my entire career if i don't do something that they won't or can't. I am going to Ranger school. I want to be a Ranger qualified 35F. Of all the seniors that I have talked to they have rarely seen a intel guy who is Ranger qualified. So this will take alot of preparation. I will discuss the details of my training that I will conduct in my time here in Kuwait as I figure out what I will be doing.

  1. Wow, Chris! I am glad you have found something you are interested in...though it sounds really really scary!!! Will you still be doing intel or will you be going to the lines to do something like demolition or sniper? Good luck! I hope you get into ranger school.

  2. Ohhh... I looked up what a 35F is, and as far as I can figure, it is still intelligence. Good!!! I love telling people my brother-in-law does intel for the army.
