Switching from NG to AD
I am a PV2 and my mos is 11b. I've always wanted to become a Ranger since I was young, but family issues came up, and my plans took a different course of action. But now, I can finally do what I want to do. I will be switching over from the NJNG to AD, but I really want to sign with Option 40. Can anyone help me out and give me some advice on if this is even possible, and if so when I should go to the recruiter? Thank You, PV2 Roesch

Welcome, Our policy is that your initial post will be an introduction -- so I moved your post to the proper thread. If you are interested in earning a place in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came t the right site. We take a lot of pride in the fine young Rangers who pass through armyranger.com on their life journey. Begin with the link I provided and realize that you will have to pass RASP. There are a number of serving Rangers who are more up to date in the day to day life in the regiment. Please tell us more about yourself: How old are you? How many years of service? Are you in superb physical shape? Why do you want to be a Ranger?

Re: Switching from NG to AD
I am 19, turning 20 in a month. My pt is usually between 250/260 ( push-ups are my weakness, only get between 50-55 normally ). My ASVAB score was a 76, with a gt score of 115. I've always wanted to become a Ranger ever since 5th grade. My family has a long military history, dating back to the Revolutionary War, and just wanna continue the tradition and more importantly serve the United States with the best of the best.

Re: Switching from NG to AD
If your P/U's are always between 50-55 what are you doing to get better at them? Or are you satisfied with that score?
If you WANT to be a Ranger (not wanna, lose that word forever) you'll need to start pushing yourself harder than you ever have before. I mean literally working out and running until you puke on a daily basis for starters. Trust me, do this and you will see improvements in your scores.
Read much, study hard, pay attention to details. There's a reason God gave us two eyes, two ears and only one mouth.
Good luck.

Re: Switching from NG to AD
I am not satisfied with my push-ups at all. I usually do a 200 push-up work, consisting of 200 push-ups in about 5 min with weights on ( IOTV usually) and 200 with nothing. But I still can't get my numbers up
