Introduction - Hunter

[Hunter1904]

Hello Rangers,

My name is Hunter, I am 21 years old, hold a GED and am currently an Americorps member on a Washington state trail and disaster response crew. I was previously a wildland firefighter on a type 2 IA handcrew for a private contractor out of Montana.

I have not yet enlisted nor am I currently in the DEP. I am working with a recruiter who I believe to be truly working hard to help me obtain the contract of my choice, 13f option 40. I took the CAT-ASVAB at my recruiters office and scored a 75 with a GT score of 116. I have not yet taken a self administered PT test but will do so as soon as I return from my wilderness survival training next week.

I look forward to being​ a member of this site and to the wealth of knowledge I can receive from all the Rangers here. If I need to update anything or give more information let me know and it will be done.

Thank you,

Hunter

Ranger Jim,

I was unsure as well if I could obtain a option 40 with my GED as well. I sat with my recruiter for about 2 hours last week while he and his Commander (I apologise if this is the incorrect term, he was the lead recruiter for the office) looked through the regulations, called ROC and confirmed that as of April this year GED holders are indeed eligible for option 40 and 18x contracts. 15E and 19Y, both with option 40 we're immediately available but I declined.

Rangers,

I have wanted to join the military for as long as I can remember. My family has a long history of service from Vietnam to the current war on terror. My cousin was a Ranger during the time of Panama and the first Iraq War. Perhaps some of you know him. I was born in Minnesota and moved to San Diego as a child and was blessed to grow up around many motivated military men and women.

I played football​ for 10 years a kid and have always been active in the outdoors. I worked in the mortgage business from 15 to 20 years old and made the decision at 20 years old to change my life and move to Montana. There I became a Wildland firefighter and found a true passion for the outdoors and service to my community and country, albeit not in the same way you all have served this great country. After my summer on fire I obtained a job with the a government program for 18 - 25 year olds called Americorps. I am currently working in Washington state on trail and disaster response crew where I build and maintain mountain​ bike trails, fall trees, build bridges and respond to national and local disasters. I recently was deployed to Louisiana last year to help folks whose homes were destroyed by the floods that occurred last year.

As much as I enjoy the work I do, I believe I am destined for much more.

Hunter, sounds like you've had some good times in life already. Good luck on getting that 13F Opt 40 contract. If you have any questions about being a 13F, let me know.
