I didnt want to come across sounding like a cheeseball when you first asked. If that wasnt what you were looking for I probably would have sounded like a complete boot (I am pretty sure you guys call boots "cherries")

The only other thing I thought you MAY have been referring ...

Sure I know my birthday. I told you, its June 4, 1985. I dont see why I am being questioned on this, unless you wanted me to write it out like

I dont know what you mean to be honest.

Well, not really too sure about the switch, I am still evaluating my options. I have a good opportunity to go to a Recon unit in the Corps, and since Recon is now a career MOS, that is looking like my best option. Plus with the addition of MARSOC, there are some good opportunities for me. However, I ...

Ranger Scuba Wino,

You are probably right from reading my post it does sound like I need help. I should have typed it a different way, considering we are not in the barracks. In the barracks something like that would get said alot. I do think you may be reading too much into it to be honest. I ...

Hope I didnt steal anyones.

I will make an avatar as soon as I get back to my place in a few days, and I can load a picture from my computer.

Rangers,

Thanks for all of the replies.

My birthday is June 4, 1985.

I do have alot to think about. Right now I have the opportunity to stay in the Marine Corps and go to a Recon unit. It is a very good option for me, as Recon is now a career MOS, meaning Marines are now able to spend 20 years ...

Damn that first post has caused alot of heat. Once again, it was my intention to state that I was interested in the direct action side of the house, but I should have stated it in a different way, because looking back on it, it could be intepreted in the wrong way, especially when members here do ...

Ranger Cams,

I have no shame in stating my intentions. Perhaps I could have done it a little more elequantly, but I figured since I was dealing with warriors and not college students, I would just be blunt.

Truthfully, if you think I am full of shit about being in the shit (I really hate using ...

Rangers,

Thank you for the replies. Hopefully we are all on the same page now.

Basically the impression I am getting is that the needs of the Army come first. Trust me, after a few years in the Corps, this is something that I understand quite well.

Rangers,

If there is any other info you would like to know about me, let me know.

Rangers,

Also, my original question was simply how long can I spend in a Ranger Battalion before I would be forced elsewhere. The only reason I would leave the Marine Corps and join the Army would be to become a Ranger. I am a Marine infantryman, and absolutely no offense to Army infantryman, but ...

Rangers,

That was not meant to be taken literally. I should have explained more. What I meant to say was that the reason I was looking into the Ranger Regiment was because of their direct action-oriented mindset. I am not looking to do FID, plain and simple. I want to locate, close with and destroy ...

Rangers,

I apologize if this has been asked before, or if this is in the wrong place. I tried searching for this, but maybe my computer skills are lacking.

Anyways, from what I have gathered, you can only serve a few years in a Ranger Battalion before you are forced back into the regular Army ...
