Rangers,
I am Tim from Connecticut. I had trouble deciding between the Marine Corps and the Army for quite some time but I've decided to go with the Army. I'm not one to settle for anything less than the best and will not ever quit.
I have not signed a contract yet, however I hope I will be given an option 40.
APFT-Administered by myself
Pushups (2min) -- 40 (working on it...)
Situps (2min) -- 100
2-mile run -- 14:02
I scored a 96 on the ASVAB.
I am trying to decide on an MOS but I have narrowed it down to the following:
11x Infantry
68w Healthcare specialist
13F Fire Support Specialist
I want to be in the field. If I went with 68w could I end up in a hospital or somewhere other than in the field with the infantry?
Thank you for your time and advice, your experience is greatly appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Tim

I'll assume that sucking dick for beer money is a medic thing or something...

Welcome to ArmyRanger.com! The only way to make sure you have an Opt 40 on your contract is to not sign a contract unless it has an Opt 40 on it.

LOL, no it was an A Co fist/medic analogy for field time. A veritable geniuse named Dave Keeling came up with that one.RangerJurena wrote:I'll assume that sucking dick for beer money is a medic thing or something....
