Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

I appreciate the info Ranger Jim. I'll look into taking the language test after I've brushed up some more.

Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

I'm not sure yet Ranger Jim. I'll take the dlab during sfas and we get our mos/language/group wish list then as well. I'm brushing back up on my Spanish (I took 5 years) in the event that it comes into play. If not then I'm certainly none the worse for it.

Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

Another quick SITREP, I'm currently in Sopc hold for the summer. My primarily goal is to attain the highest level of fitness possible while here. I'm staying focused and out of trouble.

My anticipated class dates August and September for sopc and sfas respectively.

Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

I graduated airborne without any issues. However, I ended up switching to 18x during airborne. Sopc hold until August then sopc and sfas in September.

It took a lot of thinking and conversing but at the end of the day sf makes the most sense for me.

Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

Rangers, I have graduated OSUT and will begin Airborne on Monday. OSUT was a good experience, I've picked a few other motivated Option 40s to surround myself with. I accomplished my goal of an over 300 APFT, I reassessed and set new fitness goals. In addition, I'll be studying and practicing land ...

Re: Sitrep Diord Fionn

Rangers, thank you for the responses. I will stick with my choice of regiment. I look forward to my future training and I'll post updates when I'm able. I won't waste this opportunity.

Sitrep Diord Fionn

Rangers, I enlisted with 11x and intended to earn the opportunity to go to rasp. I'm happy to say I was offered option 40 during the basic portion of osut. I signed an option 40 but was offered 18x 2 days later, I guess none of my paperwork is solidified yet.

I'm looking for direction, I really ...

Re: Introduction - Jordan

Thank you Ranger jester, I'd like to be well above 300 prior to arriving at OSUT so I've got my work cut out.

I signed and swore in today 11X, wasn't able to negotiate an Option 40 but I'm fine making it happen the old-fashion way. I'll continue PT'ing, studying, and enjoying life before I ship out ...

Re: Introduction - Jordan

Ranger Steadfast, PT scores are as follows

Push ups - 63
Sit ups - 75
2 Mile - 11:51
Dead-hang pull ups - 12

I am pretty disappointed in my scores but at least I have a baseline.

Re: Introduction - Jordan

Quick sitrep,

I took my ASVAB today and I'm reserving my job on Monday. I'll take an Option 40 if I can get one but I'm snagging an 11x regardless and will earn the opportunity to go to RASP at OSUT.

Re: Introduction - Jordan

Ranger Jim, thank you. I had read about getting a shot at OSUT provided PT scores are excellent. That is an avenue I'm definitely considering as well, I'd rather start the process sooner than later.

Thank you Ranger CharlieRanger1FFV and Ranger Jim.

Ranger Jim, I'm not familiar with OAUR, and was unable to find anything via a search. Can you please elaborate? Thanks again.

Re: Introduction - Jordan

Just an update, after a lot of research I've decided that 11x Option 40 is what I want. I want to thank you all for your information on these forums, I've been able to find the answer to any questions I've came up with. I've graduated college in May and have spoke to my recruiter regarding a Ranger ...
