I'd like to serve as a combat medic in the Regt but from what I've read I can't get Opt 40 or airborne or even an MOS change, the only thing I can count on is choice of duty station. If I can at least get airborne then there is the chance of going to RIP from there, and if I get 68W AIT then I'll put in a RIP application from there. But if all that's available is duty station, what location would be my best bet? If I get Ft Bragg or Vicenza* I'm assuming that I'll be sent to airborne school but I won't be allowed to enter RIP since at that point I'd already have a home unit.
I'm an 11B, SPC, no tab, ETS beginning of April but I'd like to get an early January ship date.
I got my option 40 (it was called 'unassigned Ranger' back in the day) after serving in the National Guard. Pretty sure you can make the jump from NG to regular Army and get that option 40, too. Also pretty sure you will NOT be able to be re-trained or be able to switch MOS to 68W. You are 11B, that is what you will stay. Your option 40 contract (assuming you fufill your end of the contract) will get you all the training to become an Airborne Ranger and get you assigned somewhere in the 75th Ranger Regiment.
