I posted this topic so that the rangers and the DEPs wouldn't think that I was a piece of shit because I wasn't doing the assignments. But now I've made a better case for you all to think that I was a piece of shit. And I have been. I wanted to join the Army so that people would be proud of me. I wa...

Hello Rangers and fellow DEPs, My name is Patrick. I joined this message board in September after talking with my recruiter. By using the search function and posting you all provided me with great answers to the many questions that I had. Later that month I went to MEPs and was temporarily disqualif...

I'm in!!!! The doc passed me on my tail and he gave me an airborne stamp. Then I went to pick my job. I told her that I wanted Rangers with Infantry. But the only Option 40 available was a cook or chemical operations specialist. So I told her I'd take 11x Opt. 40 or nothing. She said that I needed s...

Thanks for all the hilarious remarks.

I'm heading back to MEPS this Friday. So wish me luck.

I don't have to get the piece of skin removed. But I do need to get a letter from the surgeon. And he's taking his sweet time writing it. My recruiter also told me that I'd just have to wait and see if I can get an airborne stamp. I am faced with a dilemma. If I don't get the airborne stamp should I...

I went to the surgeon to get my cyst removed. But after he looked at it he determined that it was not a cyst, it is just a flap of skin. So I talked with my recruiter and he is going to ask the doctors at MEPS if I should get the thing removed or just leave it. He will also ask whether or not I can ...

I have no idea what that means, SFC hit_it

I told the doctor at MEPS about the screw in my ankle and he didn't seem to care. We tried to get a waiver for the cyst but it didn't go through so I will have to get it removed.

Three years ago I broke my ankle and it was repaired with a screw. The screw is not in the joint. It hasn't cause me any pain or lack of movement and the doctor said that I could have it taken out, if the military made me. Three weeks ago I went to MEPS and they didn't even see my medical records ab...

Rangers: I'm sorry for violating your operational security.

Thanks for the inspiring message Ranger H8 Train.

Now I have another question.

How many total rangers are there on active duty right now?

I searched but could not find an answer for my question so I will ask it here.

What percentage of applicants make it through RIP?

I read that 35% make it through Ranger School. Is this correct?

I got to hit MEPS recently, got my 11x/OPT 40 contract and ship out Oct 27th When I got there they didn't have any more OPT 40 contracts, but he looked at my scores and called up someone and he plucked a contract off of next years allotment. If you don't mind me asking. What were your scores? Thank...

Thanks for all the advice. I've changed my username (beause it used my last name). I will always search before I ask a question. No, I don't have an option 40 becuase I haven't enlisted yet. But I will return to MEPS on October 2 to complete my physical and hopefully will get 11x option 40. Thanks, ...

My name is Patrick (Admin Edit: No Last Names) I've been to MEPS but I was temperaliry DQ because of a cyst. I scored a 78 on my ASVAB. Hopefully I will be able to join in the next few weeks. I want to become a Ranger.


Thanks,

Patrick
