Re: Intro - Mahler

I am headed to MEPS this Thursday (03-11-10). My recruiter has been able to reserve the 68w, and told me to speak to the MEPS officer about option 40 or option 4.

Thanks for the advice, and I will take heed Ranger Bill.

Re: 68w option 40

Rangers,

Thanks for all the advice. I really haven't asked about the option 4, I have only pursued the option 40 route. I am not sure if I will be able to obtain the option 4 now, with my recruiter and his superior not working with me, but I will prevail.
