Got my Option 40

Post by Odiedog52 »

After months and months of trying, and trips to MEPS, and calls to the recruiter, MEPS, etc ... I have finally gotten my Option 40. I was starting to think it wasn't gonna happen, but I got it.

I'm going to the recruiting station in a few hours to sign some papers and fill out a security clearance form. I'm shipping in 13 days, so it's time to kick it into gear even more then i have been.

Thanks for the advice Rangers.

Thank you Rangers, and Veterans.

Whom do I need to contact, regarding getting my title changed, and access to the Option 40 only forum?

Thanks again.

Thank you, SFC Hit_it

Ranger Zonk .. it's taken me too long just to get to here. I had to go through a voluntary surgery just to enlist, due to a plate in my ankle .. and it's taken me since February to get my Option 40. I am not going to let it to go to waste.

Thank you all for the support. I ship out in 13 days, and am really looking forward to it.

Don't be the guy we hear about, who runs naked through the bay shouting, "I wanna quit the Army!" :roll: Good luck!
