I enlisted in the National Guard last spring as a Cavalry Scout and i am currently a PFC. My highest goal currently is to be Ranger qualified. I joined the national guard because i am an Army ROTC cadet and wanted time to finish college. I have decided that i no longer want to complete ROTC and will finish up my college at a later date, then possibly go to OCS after i spend quite a while enlisted. Therefore i am more than ready to switch to active service if it will increase my chances of going to Ranger school as soon as possible.
My problem is that i do not know the best path to follow if i want to get to Ranger school in the next couple of years. My current situation is that i go to basic training and AIT for the national guard this upcoming february to be a cav scout. Does anyone have any advice on if i should stick with the guard or go active, and what i should do from there?

Funny thing, almost the same thing happened to me. My cousin is a National Guard Recruiter and he talked me into joining the NG. After a couple of days I realized that it wasnt what I really wanted to do. He knew I wanted to become a Ranger but he kept insisting that I could just switch over after basic and just volunteer for everything. I think he is full of it and it can't be that easy, so I enlisted into the Army as Infantry with an Option 40. That way I get to go to RIP as long as I pass OSUT and Airborne.
