Received my Option 40

Post by King of Hearts »

Rangers,
Well it turned out that all my worrying was for nothing. I went down to MEPS, took my ASVAB (overall score of 96 and GT score of 131), and signed a 68W Option 40 contract. I ship out on August 11 which gives me time to do a lot of PT, and I'm very happy that things worked out the way they did.

Great news, KOH! Like you said, that gives you lots of time to prepare....physically, mentally, and spiritually. Good luck.

I thought 130 was the highest you could get on the GT.

I always thought that too, but apparently the GT can go up to 150.
