Prior Service NG to Active Army

Post by SigWarrior »

Is it possible for me a prior service NG to become a Ranger now that I'm active duty? Is it better for me to wait until I arrive at Ft. Lewis to inquire about becoming a ranger? Also, I was told by my recruiter that upon my arrival to Ft.Lewis personel center that I can request placement into the 75th located at Ft.Lewis. How true is this?

If you went through Benning when you came on active duty, that would have been the time to wheel and deal.

Okay, that's what I thought as well. Kinda said to myself if it was that easy the 75th wouldn't need soldiers. So, at this point my chance of becoming apart of 75th is slim to none or is there some miracle worker amongst us?

You say apply? Do I just walk up to the 75th Battalion area on Lewis and ask for a application, or do I begg my 1SGT. for a 4187?

Keep this in mind as you progress in the military...as a leader, you don't get everything handed to you and you have to take it upon yourself to research and learn,so you can train your guys/plt/company...whomever.
You are preaching to the choir my friend. If you know a thread/link that is more helpful then please point it out, but I've yet to see a topic in regards to what I've posted.
