Introduction

Post by Garrettm2240 »

First want to thank you guys for your service and giving out helpful information to people so they can make the right decision. My name is garrett (name deleted by Admin - PERSEC Violation) i grew up on a farm in vermont. My dad served in the army in the 90's. I knew before i started highschool i was goin g to join the army so i took JROTC for 4 years so as you guys know id go in as an E-3. I have been accepted to Norwich university for the ROTC program but its 50,000$ a year and i dont want to come out of college in a huge amount of debt. So i decided im going to enlist. Im seeking an option 40 right now but i need some info from somebody who can guide me the right way throught this process. Any helpful information you have would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

"Stickies" are important topic threads ( a thread is what you started here) and or frequently asked questions that are "stuck" to the top of the fourm.

And you will get better responses here from Rangers if you take the time to spell properly.

Garrettm2240, I am not a Ranger yet but the Rangers here all take out of their time to reply and mentor people aspiring to be Rangers here. In return all they ask is you read the FAQs and follow a few simple rules.

If you had done this you would have replied "Alright thanks (If I was a Ranger then "Ranger Lomack27" would have followed) . -Garrettm2240" They don't want a apology, They want you to get it right next time.

Here is a link to the FAQs, Read them before posting again.

We have an extensive program for mentoring those who are already in the delayed entry program (DEP) and have a reserved slot for RASP (Option 40). Frankly, you are still a fair way from there as you are not yet in the DEP. There is extensive information on recruiting and how to obtain an Option 40 on the site. You are responsible on learning a great deal of data, which you will need later. Never, never quit!
