Introduction

Post by BLH »

Hello, my name is Brandon, I have a BBA, Im 30 years old, and I am currently working as an Emergency Veterinary Technician (as well as taking classes to later apply for vet school).

I have signed a REP 63 contract and am leaving in April. My MOS will eventually be 68W (18D). I have been a long time member/reader of other SOF sites. Due to life circumstances it has now come down to me needing to possibly look into other NG units from either Nebraska or Georgia. So I found this forum while researching NG LRS units as both GA & NE have them (for now).

Thank you for allowing me to research.

Where did you get the idea that 68W was an 18D?

Ranger Heathen,

The Rep 63 is the National Guards equivalent to the 18X pipeline. So my MOS will be 68W, but my actual contract shows me going through the pipeline to become an 18D. My contract has dates already set for BCT, AIT, ABN, and then SOPC I & SFAS for if God willing the first three schools are completed successfully.

Hope that might clear up any confusion.

My apologies Ranger Heathen. I did not mean to infer that you were confused. I was making an attempt to better explain my original post. That I now see was confusing to everyone.

Just wanted to add that my original post may have been confusing to everyone due to my own incorrect wording or lack there of.

My apologies again.

You're giving me a headache in my fucking eye.

You're a civilian who's signed a bit of paper, forgive us if we with-hold applause.
In your introduction you have accelerated past 68W straight to 18D and, fortunately for us, you have also enlightened us on the NG SF pipeline.

Are you sure you need us for anything?

Listen, I've got a buddy in the 18D "pipe-line". He's a fully certified RI, JumpMaster, Pathfinder...all that shit.
He left for selection when I deployed. I've been back four months.

He's still in the Q-Course.
