Active Duty Wants To Go To RIP

Post by FTOG320 »

I'm Currently an active duty e-4P who is stuck at The Old Guard. I really want to go to RIP but I am skeptical because I have no combat experience, and I am an promotable with no Ranger tab. If anyone can give me some insight or some advice that would be great.

The very first step needed is to post an intro killer.

The Old Guard gets RS slots so...the obvious step since you're promotable is RS and then ROP.

Start thinking like an NCO.
