Hi, my name is James, I'm 18 years old, going to be a senior in high school and work my own business of lawn mowing for good money every week.
I'm enlisting in the Army on July 7th. I want an 11x Contract with option 40 but I'm a little unsure about 11x because 13F sounds pretty good too :? . I ship out for basic on 7/6/11. I'm looking forward to being a member on the site and learning a lot more about Rangers.

I am confused. How do you know your ship date but not have a contract?

Re: Intro: James
Welcome and thank you for your desire to serve.
Is that a quote and if so whose? If its your own it seems a little out of place and a little personal. Some may be OK with it but to me its your own business and best kept to yourself.

Re: Intro: James
Welcome. Your desire to serve our country as an Army Ranger is appreciated. As long as you qualify, do not accept any contract without an Option 40, no matter what they tell you. Keep us posted on how things go and be sure to read and heed the ROE PM I have sent you.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!

Re: Intro: James
I just got back from MEPS, the doctor didn't let me advance any further until I get the medical docs from my heart murmur when I was 12 because I still have one apparently. So I have to jump through a few more hoops until I enlist. 90% done with the MEPS shenanigans, I just have to go back now, show them papers, get my job, and enlist. I'll have my recruiter keep checking on his thing if my 11x Option 40 with PaYS program is available. When I get out I want to be a cop for Austin Texas, then I want to do border patrol on the Mexican/Texas border.
