11x, I ship for Ft. Benning on 20040630.

Alden - is that with Option 40 and Airborne, or with nothing, just 11X?

Thanks

sorry for the slip up Ranger Pneves, thats just an 11x, they refuse to give me the opt.40, they wont even give me Airborne because of a medical waiver. I was sworn up and down to by bolth of my recruiters and the job councilor at MEPS that after AIT I can volunteer for Airborne and then volunteer for RIP. Its a little longer path then I had hoped for but I have every intention of busting my ass until I get there.

Alden, you keep in touch with this website and let us know what happens. Personally I think you just got fucked. You'll see Airborne and RIP when you reup.

You guys never listen. Wait a year. Hell ya waited 18 to get there what's one more year? Get a job, go to school, but wait for that OPTION 40.

Good luck. I wanna know what happens with you.

Negative Ranger jody, no way. I still come here everyday, and have the same goals. I've just been reading since it seems all my questions have been answered, numerous times

Damn, if Ranger Jody comes to a sudden halt, tooyoung's head might have to be surgically removed from his ass.

Alden - you are screwed. Let us know how the weather is at Ft. Bliss, Texas when you get to your assignment there.

11X with Option 40.

Went through MEPS, and got my Option 40 in the same day. I guess the councelor liked me, he got on the phone with his bosses and found a slot.

This gives me 7 months to train.

Great Job Dapoopsie! The rest of you all who didn't get an option 40 and want to cry about it, just go bite a pillow somewhere. It's not like the Option 40's are not available, obviously. Now - what is your training plan there Jim?

Not the greatest idea I've heard as that water shifting around in the can will be a bit unstable, unless it was all the way full. You may want to rethink this part.
