blue to green don't work like that, hero.

if you wanted to do some Rangerin', you should have joined the Army to begin with.

if you have a Navy job that has an Army equivalent, that's what you'll be doing.

Post by op_blue2green »

So even if I'm not in a rate right now, why is it that I can't go infantry- jump school- RIP? I don't really know how it works, but if I do shit-hot all throughout my training, I can't get recommended for the school if I step up and say that's what I want? The recruiter I talked to is a Ranger and he was ready to print my 638 or 368(whichever) right on the spot. Fill me in, Rangers. Thanks

First of all what is your job in the Navy and what will it be in the Army. Check with an Army recruiter and see what Army (MOS) military occupation specialties are avaliable in 75th Regiment. If that doesn't work you can always reclass to an MOS that Regt. needs. Just remember, Regt. guys aren't Marines on the ship like your used too so don't expect any sexual favors.

if you want infantry, you'll get it. the other stuff more than likely will NOT happen unless you get it at training.

that's the suck about being prior service.
