Better stock your fridge, pantry, and squirrel away some goodies in other places too...Ranger school is a beast. I did pre-Ranger and got dropped when my knee gave out. If he made it through, he's hungry and exhausted. They never have enough food or sleep. I had a roommate who said after Ranger school that he literally couldn't pass a place that had food without getting some.
Your assessment is on point. But I remain hopeful. I am not, by nature, a person predisposed toward depression and "blah." I'll check back in one of these days with a sunnier outlook, I assure you.
Your prayers are welcomed. I'm going to write SS16 a letter today in hopes that he is allowed to receive regular mail.
Onward and upward
