Rangers, I took the ASVAB today and scored a 94. I then finished up my physical papers with the recruiter and sat down with him to have a talk. He informed me that I have a high chance of receiving an option 40 due to my high score and my being a high school senior. I assured him that I wanted nothing less then the 11x Option 40. He plans to have my job reserved early next week and me heading to MEPs for the physical examination and signing next Thursday.

Trey, to your recruiter, you are only a quota. Stand fast in demanding what you want -- it is your future. Don't settle for less. Never, never quit!

Roger, Ranger Jim.

Rangers, I did not have time to post a sit rep yesterday due to a number of school related circumstances. However, yesterday was very exciting, my recruiter called me around lunch and informed me he saw and 11x Option 40 pop up in the system. He got it reserved for me and I headed down there after wrestling practice. He showed me the reservation and scheduled me for a MEPs visit for the physical and signing on monday.

How is your knee? You do not want to take your physical if you are still injured. Also, we need to see an APT that includes a run time.

Rangers, I apologize for the delay and I have to excuse. I went through MEPs on Monday (2/9) and signed an 11x Option 40. My recruiter has been updating me on the things I must do as a future soldier, and my ship date is 20150727. Thank you, Rangers, for all the advice that led me to signing this contract and I look forward to beginning my journey.

Great news Trey, now is the time to really start preparing. Not only the body, but the mind as well. Remember your body can do anything, it is the mind that quits. Give everything you've got, every time you give and never, ever quit. RLTW
