Hello rangers and fellow future soldiers. I'm tommy and i enlisted as an 11x with option 40. I leave june 6th this year. I've know about this forum for a while and have read a lot of good advice already even before joining. I was told i couldn't get option 40 because the back up and was told to take a different job. I refused because i wanted to become a ranger and i knew that i must hold out until i got option 40. It took weeks for my recruiters to find it but i finally got a spot.
I hope to one day be considered a brother of yours.

Re: Tommy
welcome and congrats on getting your contract. make sure you're in shape so that you can keep it. since you've been here awhile, you should have read to capitalize Ranger and "I" when using it as a pronoun. attention to detail will save you pain, might as well start now.
good luck.
good luck.

Re: Tommy
Got one of the 75 contracts that were put on the system yesterday, eh? You can thank an old PSG of mine for that. Don't waste this opportunity, there are many that would kill to be in your shoes.

Re: Tommy
Welcome, Tommy. A man has only one opportunity to create a favorable initial impression. You're doing well enough. One of the things you may have noted so far is that this is not a normal web site. If your goal is to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment, you came to the right site. We take pride in the number of young men who have passed through here on their life's journey. For your initial task, please self-administer a PT test and post your results on this thread not later than midnight, Sunday,13 February, 2011. Never, never quit!
