Option 40 in April

Post by PerryB »

Right now the Recruiting Command has over 75 option 40 slots for Mos 92G (cook). The slots even come with a $10,000 bonus. I work at the Houston Meps and just verified this. These slots are all shipping in April. No idea about other MOSs.

There were 40 slots for 92G with Opt 40 when I signed (also with $10k bonus), I wonder how many of those were rolled into the April ship date? Is it possible that they are trying to put a single MOS through RASP at one time?

Nope, it's just that so few cooks make it through RASP that they have to get a bunch of them to try out just to get a few that make it all the way through. You see the same thing with MOS's like 92Y, 92A, etc
