Re: Preparation for RASP
I was thinking about 11x as I am unsure of the availability of 35 series option 40s. I honestly had a bad understanding of OCS overall, but I have recently talked with someone who was very helpful. I’m seeing that going OCS and then pushing for Airborne, Air Assault, and Ranger school could lead to ...

Re: Preparation for RASP
Thank you again Ranger KW Driver. I am shifting to a more CrossFit style of training since that’s where I’ve seen the military slowly shifting to. I just add in the APFT (I’m assuming it stays for RASP) and extra running on my own. With rucking I’m definitely going to take the slow build in weight a...

Re: Preparation for RASP
Thank you Ranger KW Driver. The change to running shoes felt much better on my lower body. I am in the process of getting a ruck and boots, but I wanted to make sure I have a decent base to pull from with running first. I’m trying not to push towards the point of overtraining and I know I have appro...

Re: Preparation for RASP
Glad to hear it Ranger IntelToad. I am currently gathering medical documents from a prior surgery and hoping a little extra hardware in my ankle won't disqualify me.

Re: Introduction - Stephen
Hey Stephen, I went in to talk to my recruiter about a week ago and was told that there are plenty of 11x option 40 contracts available. I have not signed anything so he could be BSing. He also told me that airborne was before RASP, which I have been told the exact opposite by multiple Rangers curre...

Re: Preparation for RASP
Thank you Ranger atl456! I'm definitely going to go the option 40 route after some deliberation. I was very confused on why the recruiter was hating on Rangers. A good friend of mine served in 3rd Battalion and just asked me if the recruiter was fat. I will be sure to mix in much more of the ACFT. I...

Re: Preparation for RASP
Thank you Ranger IntelToad! I have given it thought and I would much rather pursue an option 40 contract. Current PT numbers are poor: Pushups- 65 Situps- 60 (needs a lot of work) Two mile run- 14:45 (second week running) Pullups- 10 I've tried to really pay attention to the Ranger standard I have s...

Preparation for RASP
Hello to all Rangers, First of all, thank you to all the people that have posted so much helpful information on this site! I plan on signing an 11x option 40 contract (would be very interested in 35 series option 40 if they are even available) and am only slightly late to the party at 27, but at lea...

Introduction-Alex
I am 27 years old and hold a bachelors degree. I currently plan on enlisting and going either the 11x option 40 route, or the 35 series option 40 (depending on availability). I come from an athletic background that focused mostly on strength and power output. Currently training to force myself to lo...
