Thank you for the advice. Hopefully this phone call will go well tomorrow. I will post the sitrep when its over.

Is that a "wait out"?

Wildman, I was a DEP for 9 months because I wanted a Ranger Contract.

Like the Sarnt' Major said, wait it out, get what you want. DO NOT SETTLE

Its my understanding that medic slots in RIP are dwindling. Hold out though. You'll get it.

It's amazing how they can pull some shit out of their ass when the recruiters are trying to make mission. Hold out till you get what you want, just don't waste the slot for someone who really wants it.

There is no other job in the military quite like being a medic in a Ranger Battalion.

If that is your dream, (and it is a worthy one in my biased opinion), then wait.

Aside from being a cool fucking job, it is an astounding foundation for later career progression.

Twenty-eight years after I began my military career as a platoon medic in 2d Bat, I STILL worry about the guys in my old unit.

We are coming up on a significant anniversary in a couple of days.

Got to check on the boys.

Im headed out to meps on monday and barring any medical problems I have that I dont know about, I will come back with my 68w w/opt 40 secured. Thank you Rangers and SFC hit_it for all your time and for sharing your knowledge with me on this site.

wow what a "coincidence"!
