Post by B_lopez87 »

Hello Rangers,


I’m 18 years old from Southern California. Last April I enlisted as a 92Y, however Option 40 was unavailable at the time. My father served in 2/75 during 93-96, and suggested I try to gain a Ranger contract in AIT. I’ve gotten in contact with other Option 40’s, and JDenges recommended this forum to me. I’ve read through some of these articles and am looking forward to obtaining more knowledge. Thank you for your time and service.

Hey B_Lopez!

Welcome to the site. I'm glad JDenges sent you over to us. I missed your post the other day so I apologize for the late reply.

Tell your Dad thanks for his service. Has he had the chance to get back to Washington? That place has changed a lot since the mid 90's...

Keep us updated on your progress through AIT and if you can get a chance to volunteer. Do you know if a recruiter will visit you during AIT? Where are you currently in the process? DEP? Basic?

Ranger Disinfertention,

My dad has been up there a few times since he got out and he said that it’s all brand new. From what I’ve heard and seen on Facebook, Ranger recruiters have been reaching out and trying to pick up 92Y’s like crazy when we go to AIT. I’m currently a DEP and my ship date is 20180611. Thank you again!
