DEPS: which BN do you wish for?

[Cisco4711]

DEP's, if the time for Bn assignment came and they gave you the option to choose; which Bn would you choose? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?
1st = Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia
2nd = Fort Lewis, Washington
3rd = Fort Benning, Georgia

Personally, if someone asked me, I would say Fort Benning: But then again they're all the same

Any of them, A Ranger is a Ranger, the Bn they are assigned to shouldn't matter.

(I'd either pick 1st or 3rd )

It looks like you're from the East coast......Yeah you're going to 2nd BN.

You would be doing that all anyway even if you wanted to go to 2nd.

that said, you should know that it is very common for someone to end up as far away from home as possible when getting a duty station. Something about Murphy's Law.....

[MikeZDM]

Oh ok, thanks Ranger X.

[Bravo57]

Or you could get assigned based on your SSN.

THANK YOU CHUCKCOOLEY!

Perhaps? I believe a Ranger parent mentioned that her sons RIP class were all given options to choose where they wanted to be.

It also has to do with most people who are stationed close to home on their first enlistment are more likely to get in trouble than those who move away from home. Also, how can you grow up and be a man on your own if everytime you need something you run home to mommy, or you keep dating mary jane rotten crotch from high school. Part of the reason you should have joined the Army was to get out, see new things, meet new people.

I call her Mom!

And kill them.

They always let you ask where you would like to go, but the needs of the Regiment decide where you go.

they ran an OML (Order of Merit list) for my RIP class. we all asked for what we wanted, we were told who was going where. then it changed and my whole class ended up in 3rd. shit happens.

[Bravo57]

See kids, 2 great examples of................................. You go where you go. Earn your Scroll and move out smartly.

A good friend of mine is in 2nd bat. He said that when I get through RASP he will talk to his First Sergeant and may be able to pull some strings so I can get to 2nd bat with him in Washington. Is this accurate or is my friend shooting some ...poo?

No two experiences are the same. Don't worry, stay focused and never, never quit!!!

[psouper]

A guy in my son's class got assigned to 2nd Batt, 30 min from his home. He was so happy. Then someone got wind of it and very quickly he was re-assigned.
