Re: Change to Contract
[/quote] So, if you haven't signed anything yet, my question is: Do you really want to go SF, or is it more b/c it is high speed and you don't currently have a job? Or do you still want the Opt 40 but your taking what they have now? Both are noble jobs, but in my mind, job or not, you ought to hold ...

Re: Change to Contract
Why 18x now instead of Opt40, especially after all the initial squawking about it? Also, who the fuck is grading your PT tests and ensuring that you're performing each rep to standard? You got the contract, the rest is on you......... Ranger JLTW!!!, No 11x/Opt. 40's in the system over the past 2 w...

Re: Change to Contract
SFC Hit_it & Rangers, I was finally released from the reserves 2 weeks ago. Today I reserved an 18x slot and look forward to the challenges ahead. The nearest slot that I could get was in October, but that will give me time to get into better shape. Current PT results are below and followed by m...

Re: Change to Contract
SITREP Just spoke with my recruiter. My unit release came through (368 I believe) today, but he says that the USAR still won't release me. He told me to just push through BCT & AIT, then put in transfer for a Reserve infantry unit... I told him that the Reserves do not offer combat arms. Then he...

Re: Change to Contract
SFC Hit_it, Thank you for the quick reply and insight into the situation that I've created for myself. My suggestion is to talk to him, get the paperwork, go through your unit to get this done yourself. SFC Hit_it, will contact my UA today. Here's my final thought. If you need a job now, and you wan...

Re: Time between RIP and Ranger School
I want to add that I have just read Ranger cdwdirect's post about putting in dues at Batt. just to get the chance to head to Ranger School. Great posting, and opens up my eyes. Should have read it earlier. My fault. Everything about being a Ranger seems to be earned, every inch. At least that is wha...

Re: Time between RIP and Ranger School
The short answer: You will definately not leave RIP and report to RS. The length of time between the two schools depends on many factors. With the GWOT going on in several places globally, The Army will likely need you on the battlefield more than in a school. Your peer is correct, though. There ar...

Re: Time between RIP and Ranger School
I cruised the site for awhile before signing up. I've been getting on here daily since I signed up though... trying to soak up everything that I can. The nearest answer to my question that I found on here pertained to whether or not there is a wait between Airborne and RIP... Thanks for the reply ac...
