Re: 11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
I guess I didn't make my plan clear enough. If I went for my Bachelor's Degree first, then I would join the US Army as an Infantry Officer (hopefully) and work my way into Special Operations from there. I'm motivated to do either or, but I just wanted some insight. If you read my signature, I have ...

Re: 11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
I hope it's okay if I respond to both of in one post. Presumably if you're 17 you just started going to college? Well Ranger SLEDGE HAMMER, before I got my GED I did a program at the community college to get both high school credits and college credits, so that helped a little. I'm basically at the ...

Re: 11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
If you get a bachelor's degree then what ? Without an additional plan and motivation you will join the long line of unemployed college grads with nothing special to offer collectively known as Millennials. I guess I didn't make my plan clear enough. If I went for my Bachelor's Degree first, then I ...

Re: 11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
Welcome Herc, I know when I came in ('07), you could only get an opt.40 contract with a high school diploma. GED holders had to go the long way to RASP, IE; Big Army and then put in a 4187 for RASP. It may have changed though. Thank you for warm welcome Ranger gRavepc. After intensive research onli...

Re: 11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
I don't know if you would like me to make another thread for my introduction, but since you moved my thread I'm going to make the inference that it's okay to continue my introduction on this one. Hercules' Introduction: Hello, my name is Michael. I'm seventeen years old, and I currently attend commu...

11x Option 40 Contract vs. Bachelor's Degree
I have an important decision to make. I could enlist right now with an Option 40 contract, 11x MOS, and I could get my Bachelor's Degree while I'm on active duty, or I could finish my Bachelor's Degree first. After that, I would go to OCS and become an officer immediately. I can't decide what to do,...
