Rangers, I have completed airborne school and graduated RASP. I've been assigned to 3/75, but unfortunately I'll be in post rasp for awhile due to security hold. Pre-RASP was the worst part of my time here. I spent 7 weeks getting smoked for other peoples mistakes and standing on the rocks. RASP was...

Rangers, I've been in airborne hold the past two weeks and leave tomorrow for Airborne School! Nothing really changed in the AIT portion of OSUT. Drill Sgt's are still dicks and treat you no differently than they did in BCT. I don't really feel like an Infantryman, the training barely scratches the ...

Rangers, I am currently on family weekend. I am happy to report that I have obtained a RASP slot during my time here in BCT. The Ranger liason showed up around week 5 and in week 7 first sergeant pulled us aside to tell us (5 in total) we had picked up opt40s. Basic has been physically easy, but men...

At the MEPS hotel. I'm scheduled for two weeks in reception battalion before OSUT. Not very excited for that, but nevertheless feeling ready to earn this.

Rangers, I am two weeks out from shipping and feeling highly motivated. I recently ran a 5 miler in 34:55. Despite high spirits, my lack of an option 40 is keeping me up at night. I understand that it is my fault for signing a contract prematurely, but I can't help myself from worrying if I will eve...

Roger that Ranger Jim.

Ranger Jim, Yes sir I believe that I am prepared. I have a GT score of 123 and my APFT is 7 seconds shy of a 300. By the end of OSUT I will be scoring well beyond a 300. I am incredibly excited to finally get my Army career underway. I am going to do everything I can to obtain an option 40 in OSUT. ...

Roger Ranger Jim. Thank you for the advice.

Rangers, My recruiters are saying there is no possible way to have an option 40 added into my contract. Apparently I was not authorized to take an airborne physical because of my medical waiver. The MEPS doctor for some reason still gave me one, which made it possible for my recruiter to reserve an ...

Roger Ranger Cams. I will see what I can do.

Rangers, I just returned from MEPS. I was able to enlist with a vanilla 11X contract, ship date 20170227. Because of my medical DQ, option 40 is not available to me and despite passing the airborne physical I couldn't get an option 4 either. I asked every recruiter I could about this and they all re...

Rangers, Today I went to MEPS. I was able to complete my physical but was not allowed to enlist on account my shoulder. Once again, the MEPS doctor did not feel comfortable approving me for enlistment. My waiver has been sent to somebody higher up the chain of command for approval. After some proddi...
