11x contract and OP40's

Post by Hand Job »

Under the Board FAQ's, an article is written by DLP21. Under DEP & Basic/OSUT, he says when you get an 11x 80-85% go 11b and the other 11c. I really want 11b, so can I ask them for this? Or do I even have to sign up under 11x? And say I get stuck with 11c, can I have it changed?

Thank you for your time Rangers and any information.

everyone enlist as an 11X. they have some infinite method for selecting charlies.

it's called the "hey you" method.

not sure if you can change when picked though.

Thank you very much. By the way, how do I address someone if They are not a Ranger and I don't know their rank?

I just got out of the goarmy.com chat room and all the recruiters said when I enlist under 11x I will definetly be 11b. I don't know who to believe, especially since I know none of them have served time as Rangers or Even made it to RIP. Also Mr. Stover said anyone who calls The "Ranger Enlistment Option" an OP40 is a boob. Just letting you know.
I'm on your all's side though.

I'm sorry for posting something stupid. I didn't mean anything to be disrespectuful. I was just letting you know what they said. I'll read more and post less. Is there anything I can do to redeem myself?
Thank you very much if you can help me out.

If by redeem yourself you mean have your name changed back to Don Job, the answer is no.

Ranger Spartan, I do not want my name changed back to Don Job, whatever the Rangers give me here is fine by me. I meant redeem myself for being a dumbass. ex. pushups, assignments, etc. Anything any of the Rangers can come up with.
Again Rangers, I am very sorry for posting that, I did not mean for it to start anything or insult you.

The best redemption is created by yourself not us. Just don't be a dumbass in the future and pay attention to what SFC Hit_it has to say.

I just got through basic a little bit ago and in my company of four platoons (around 50 guys in each) they just randomly selected like 25 guys ALL IN FOURTH PLATOON to be 11C.... it was kind of wierd how they picked it but I'm not complaining 8)

Autohand job, I believe you have over stayed your time in this forum, either STFU about other site and bringing that info here and/or don't enter THIS enlistment forum. As a matter of fact, why don't ya just stay at goarmy.com. You and Mr Stover are made for each other.
