My son's success in Combat Dive school spurred the University of North Georgia folks to see if he wanted to go to other special schools.
So he will be the first senior military college cadet in 15 years to go to Ranger School this summer.
Fingers crossed.
They also let him sign up for Air Assult in Fort Moore during the Christmas break. It was going to be just him, and then it was three people. Before long, they had almost 30 cadets from UNG.
The school only sends kids in the summer. Thanks to Ali, they just had a ton of cadets get qualified midyear. Great policy going forward.
The real point of pride though was at graduation this morning.
The course ends with a 12-mile ruck that starts at 2:00 a.m. A full pack and 12 miles - you have three hours to complete it.
Ali Nabulsi finished first out of 234 soldiers with a time of 1:50. What's funny is that he beat three Rangert Instructors who will have his ass for 62 days this summer.
They gave him a plaque. They used to give a hatchet. Now I have to go find a hatchet because he didn't run that whole way to not get a hatchet.
