Prior service cannot receive an Opt 40 contract, unless something has changed in the last few years.

You would need to accept whatever MOS it is you're interested in, making sure that it's an MOS Regiment is slotted for, and then exceed every standard there is during your training, and volunteer for RASP before the end of your training.

It's a crap shoot but it can and has been done frequently.

Good luck. Start now by studying everything you can about the 75th, and hitting your PT like an animal.

Also, this intro is in the wrong forum, as you are already a Veteran.

Attention to detail will help you greatly in your next goal.
