Ranger Jim, I haven't earned my CIB. It doesn't look like that's going to change either. However, I realize that things can change in an instant over here so I'm remaining vigilant.

Ranger Jim, about a month after my last post, my unit came down on orders to deploy. I've been in Afghanistan for 2 1/2 months now and I recently contacted a recruiter to inquire about securing my slot for RASP. I was told that when my packet is submitted, assuming everything goes well, I should be ...

I'm aware that showing up in the Regiment as an E-4 11B with no CIB or deployment patch looks bad Ranger Jim. However, I'm going to get to the Regiment as fast as I can because I'm not getting any younger, and earning the Scroll isn't getting any easier.

Negative, Ranger Jim. I've been here about 6 months now. As of now, it doesn't appear that a deployment is in the cards anytime soon.

Hello Rangers, I lurked this site for awhile before I shipped out to Benning last April with an 11x w/op40. Long story short, I passed the first 4 APFTs in OSUT, got a stomach sickness the night before our 5th APFT, and failed it. I was told I had to drop my Op. 40 and I fought to keep it to no avai...

Hello Rangers, Finally shipping off this afternoon after joining the DEP almost 7 months ago. I didn't ever post but spent countless hours lurking and gathering every bit of advice that I could. I'd like to thank everyone on this site for helping DEPs like me use this place to learn and I'll apply e...

The version of the bill that I read on another website clearly stated that this does not pertain to United States citizens. I'm not sure if the version I read is wrong or not, but it seemed legitimate. Everything stating that this does pertain to US citizens seems to be a campaign for Ron Paul.

My apologies Ranger Lunch. I only answered because I had seen this issue discussed in another topic awhile back and a Ranger said it was normal . Knocking out 50. That woulda been a better way of saying what you did initially. By all mean, help square your buddies away whenever you are able, but do...

I was checking my ATRRS training schedule, my OSUT and ABN dates are on there but my RASP date isn't. My contract states I have Option 40 reserved and my first unit assignment is RGV4 so is this just a minor issue or do I need to ask my recruiter because there is something bigger at work here? That...

An opt. 40 requires a 107 GT score. Ranger Goon, I think it may have changed to 110 GT now. Because my recruiter denied me the contract because I was 2 points shy in GT line score. I believe the standard was dropped from 110 to 107 GT score actually. 107 is the current GT score required to get an O...

After about a year since my last post, I have finally secured an 11x Option 40 contract, shipping out in April 2012. I am graduating from college in late November, and am very excited to move on to face the challenge I have coming up ahead of me. Self-Administered PT test results are as follows: 2 ...

Greetings Rangers, My name is Jared, I'm 18 years old, and I recently enlisted in the U.S. Army with an 11X contract w/ Option 40. I've always had my mind set on joining the Army as an infantryman because two of my older brothers are prior service 11B's. One of my close friends was in 1/75th for 2 y...
