Re: Introduction
Currently I am talking with my branch manager about getting an assignment to the 75th Ranger Regiment, however since I am currently flagged for AA (i missed a couple formations) there is nothing he can do now until I speak to my commander. At this time I don' t know when that is. I graduate from DLI in October, i'm not sure when the follow-on school at Goodfellow, TX will be but it's going to be within a few weeks of graduating from DLI and will last about 3-4 months. After which, given I resolve my flag issue long before, I should go to RASP. But as of right now the only obstacle is the flag. This happened recently. I have no excuse only that I failed to maintain awareness.

Re: Introduction
Just a quick update:
I ended up having a Summarized Article 15 with 14 days restriction and 14 days extra duty. After the 14 days my flag is to be lifted. Now my question is, how bad did I screw up my chances into getting into the Regiment? I understand that part of the requirements is "A person of good character (no pending UCMJ action or drug or alcohol related incidents within 24 months)". I know that this article will stay locally for 2 years or until I PCS (which I hope to be straight to RASP once I do). But as far as the ranger packet goes, how fucked am I?

Re: Introduction
Sounds like you answered your own question. Safe bet you're at least 24months out, especially with the phasing out that's going on everywhere.

Re: Introduction
Update: Good evening, everyone. After my flag was removed I was set to go to Ft. Bragg as per branch manager. A month later my assignment was changed to Ft. Carson to work with Group. Not sure how or why but I am not going to complain!! I'm set to be there early next year. While I've decided to no longer put in a RASP contract for now I will ready myself for Ranger School as SOT-As are "V" coded.
