SITREP

Hello Rangers,

I'm currently on my 36 hour family pass, and thought I would drop in and give an update on my thoughts of OSUT.
30th AG sucked ass like I had heard, 5 people had already dropped their Option 40 contracts before we even shipped down range. If it wasn't for me being NG I would have ...

Re: Volunteer for Airborne? And a packing question.

Thank you for the advice Ranger EarthPig.
If BAC becomes available to me I will jump (no pun intended) at the chance.

I just have a couple of preparations left to take care of and I'll be ready to ship.
I'd just like to go ahead and thank all of the Rangers on this site for the wealth of knowledge ...

Re: Volunteer for Airborne? And a packing question.

Thank you for the response Ranger K.Ingraham.

I didn't mean that I wanted to make it harder to get to RIP, rather I was thinking it would be easier to get to RIP if I didn't do BAC until I am able to go active. As from what I've read, if you don't get an Option 40 your next best bet is to volunteer ...

Volunteer for Airborne? And a packing question.

Rangers,

As I stated in my introduction, I made the poor choice of enlisting in the National Guard for college, and killed my Option 40 chances down the line.

My question is; I've been told that even as NG if there are enough BAC dropouts that I may be given the opportunity to volunteer for BAC at ...

Also, I'm 19 years old, was homeschooled and have a G.E.D.
