So a couple years pass, he gets promoted to E4, and attends Ranger school, and completes it. At that point, he'd be awarded a V Special Qualification Identifier for Ranger Parachutist (i.e., Airborne Ranger), so his MOS would read 11B1V.
How to Manually Check Your Heart Rate. A normal resting heart rate for most adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Conditioned athletes typically have resting heart rates closer to 60 beats per minute. If your resting heart rate is greater than 100 beats per minute -- or less than 60 and you are not an athlete -- visit your doctor, who can diagnose any underlying condition you might have.
How To Measure Your Pulse. 1  Turn the palm side of your hand facing up. 2  Place your index and middle fingers of your opposite hand on your wrist, approximately 1 inch below the base of your hand. 3  Press your fingers down in the grove between your middle tendons and your outside bone. You should feel a throbbing - your pulse. Count the number of beats for 10 seconds, then multiply this number by 6. This will give you your heat rate for a minute. Example: If you count 12 beats in the span of 10 seconds, multiply 12 X 6 = 72. This means your Heart Rate or pulse, is 72 (or 72 beats per minute). Another popular way to measure pulse rate is by measuring it at the neck (carotid pulse). This is especially convenient during exercise.
