My fiance is going to ranger school next week. I am going down to Georgia this weekend to see him. This is the last time I will see him for the next 3 months and from what it sounds like I will also not get to talk to him very much, if at all.

I was wondering if anyone has been through this before and could give me a heads up to what it will be like. I am really worried about it because he is my life and i don't really like going weeks without talking to him. I know this is a really great opportunity and frankly there is no going back now, so i know it is going to happen.

We have already been through a deployment but I was able to talk to him at least once a week. So i just wondered how this would be different.

Thank you

Hi..my name is Katie and my fiance is a Ranger. He's been in regiment for a while and has had his tab for a little over a year. Ranger school is mentally tough on the guys and sometimes makes it difficult. There isn't much communication only letters and a phone call after every phase. Im sure he's told you about it all and im sure he's excited to become a Ranger. The phases last about a month or so each so it last around 3 months unless they get recycled, which means they start completely over or just start the one phase over again. The lack of communication was probably the hardest for me the letters were great but bless their hearts they seemed to never have enough time to write em. Just write him as much as possible and keep him motivated he'll need it and really appreciate it. Thats what Kirk lived off of he said. Like i said its really hard on the guys and they get very littel sleep. So just stand beside him and keep him positive. Cause when you both reach graduation day its a proud day!! If you wanna talk about it feel free to write me or anything im totally up for questions!! Good luck to him and "Rangers Lead the Way."

Just remind yourself that he is in school and he should be ok there. Write him lots of letters, they like to hold that little piece of home. And if he calls you and bitches at you, dont take it personally its just the stress of the school.
