Infantry OSUT/Airborne or RASP/Prior Service USMC

Post by USMCVET »

Rangers,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am currently 32 with a Bachelor's Degree. I served in the USMC Infantry from 2005-2009. I am on a mission to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. I could not get an Option 4/40 contract because of some VA disability. I have a 114 GT score and solid PT. I have no ship date but am offered an 11X contract. I have read on here and other sites about earning a slot for Airborne School and RASP. I know there are other threads on this. I apologize if it is a double thread. I am wondering if anyone has gone through this recently, as well as any advice for prior service guys going back in after so many years. Thank you for reading.

I realize Ranger Xray didn't ding you for this, but your first post on this website needs to be in the "Introductions - Rangers, Veterans, Ranger Wives/Parents" forums. Please read the Sticky and FAQS related to that forum as well as the other intro forum and post an appropriate hello.

They are changing the way they get recruits to RASP, in which they will send folks to RASP before jump school. What that means for you is heavier recruitment in AIT (my assumption) but they are in much more need of soft skill over 11X right now. Either way, you will have a recruiter sent to you and if you keep in touch with us we (I?) will be able to relay that desire... or ideally yourself.

This thread is locked until you post an intro and message me that the task is complete.

Is this VA disability thing going to preclude you from getting a proper physical to go Airborne school and/or Ranger school? Have you asked that question yet?

There is a short list of folks on this site that have graduated in the last 6 months. I will give you access to our mentoring zone and you can join our Discord channel if you have time as well as start a mentee thread.

No it would not. I had an 11X contract. I did not ship for a few reasons. The offer is on the table to go back in as an E-4. I would go to OSUT . Thanks that would be great.

Did you ever make it into the group? I've been off the net for a bit.
