Ranger contract?

Post by goose21 »

hey fellow Rangers, im nick im 19 and im trying to get into Ranger school. I scored a 80 on my ASVAB and perfect 300 on the PT test, the only thing is my recruiter has been telling me that the Ranger contract is too hard to get that my best bet is to go to the basic in Bening and tell the Drill Sargent i want Ranger. It doesnt seem like it would work but the head recruiter keeps nagging me to get in and now hes saying that i can do Special Forces because its easier to get in a contract and then go Ranger once you pass selection, but i want a definite shot at going through Ranger school. What should i do? i didnt sign a contract yet or go to MEPS

Well since Ranger School isn't offered as an enlistment option, and never has been, I would say you may have a difficult time.

Let's see....
~ Capitalized Ranger - Plus 1 point
~ Didn't capitalize ANYTHING else - minus 5 points
~ Writes like a methed out bonobo with access to a selectric - minus 10 points
~ Refers to us as "fellow Rangers" when fuckwit hasn't even joined the FUCKING ARMY - minus 3 trillion points

Let's see if your math skills surpass your writing skills. Your next post might better be a longwinded apology.
C Co 3/75 88-90 (Just Cause)
124 MI(LRSD) 90-91 (Desert Storm)

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.
