91W Option 40 Secured

Post by eagleswings »

I just got back from MEPS this morning and secured a 91W with an Option 40 no hassle. They even got me in before some of the shippers.

I ship on Oct 28, 2004

SFC Hit_It I have a question for you:

In my papers it has US Army Airborne Ranger and my training is set for the following right now:

BT Jackson 11 Weeks (Basic)
Training Path FTSamH 20 Weeks (AIT)
BAT BENN 3 weeks (???)

I am not sure what the last one is?? If that is airborne training thenis RIP included after that and if that is RIP then when do I do the airborne? The counselor said that airborne is implied and does not need to be seperate from the option 40. Is he correct or do I need to get something squared away before I go?

Thank you for everything.

the last section is for Airborne training. i think that RIP is never put on the training path section of your reservation sheet.
