Re: Eric Haney "Inside Delta Force"
Rangers, I just bought the book for my son. I am sure there is plenty to debate for those in the know etc. However, one thing that cannot be disputed is the fact that the following story had me laughing for days: (Wife): How much money did you spend at the bar? (Drunken Ranger Husband): About $100 (...

Re: Enlistment update - msuredhawk
Msuredhawk, My son just recently signed an 11x Option 40 in the time frame you have been seeking one. We were in your situation and heeded the advice from so many Rangers here with regards to recruiters: firm but polite. I should say my son was firm but polite, I was that loud background noise sayin...

Re: Hunkering Down Now
Rangers, Initially he as was willing to accept (and reserved) the Option 4 due to time constraints etc. and take his chances from Airborne. I am extremely happy to report he has just returned from MEPS this afternoon with an Option 40 (11X)!!!!! Funny thing is the counselor at MEPS remembered him by...

Re: Hunkering Down Now
Rangers, So we thought we had an understanding with our recruiter: He checks for an Option 40 everyday and when one opens, he calls us and we reserve it. Now 2 weeks later...not two days........two weeks.....(see March 18 post above).....he tells us that he cannot reserve an Option 40 even if it ope...

Hunkering Down Now
Dear Rangers, Thanks to Texas Rusty we have squared away our recruiter on how to properly work for a Ranger recruit. Texas offered up his location and I put our recruiter in touch with that office to learn how to properly search for an Option 40 every day. It is almost humorous that we are educating...

Recommended Contacts?
Rangers, I have read several posts here that have looked for, and perhaps received, contact information for those seeking an Option 40.

Introduction Hayve
Dear Rangers, I am the father of a 19 year old (All State Football Player completing his first year of college) that has just returned from his 1st trip to MEPS today (while home on Spring Break) albeit without his Option 40. He is dismayed considering he was upfront as to what he was looking for fr...
