Best of luck in your pursuits and welcome.

Also, I've read about the difficulties of getting an option 40 being prior enlisted. Hopefully if I choose to go down the Ranger path, this will be something I can overcome.
It's been done in the past. I know of quite a few Rangers who are prior service Marines. We have at least one on here that posts from time to time.
I was in the Guard first and considered prior service. I didn't try for an opt40 when I went active, just Airborne . I volunteered in Jump School and went that way.
