Thank you, everyone for the help. I just talked to my recruiter and it takes 7-10 days to process my RENO stuff, so I will be looking for my opt 40 then.

Correct Ranger. I signed 11x thinking that since I had 6 months as a DEP I could reno when a contract showed up. I was amazed later how my recruiter always avioded the whole ranger thing even when I was bringing it up every few days. I had to drop a class and this gave me a chance to reno.

Ranger BadMuther, if there are no contracts available and I do not sign anything I will still be a DEP for 2 months. Will this give me greater leverage to get a contract because the army would loose me if I do not sign anything?

My apologies, SFC Hit_it. What did you mean by this:
"the only thing i will tell you is make sure your ducks are in a row when you go down to reno. you can't bargain if the other team is holding all the chips."

Thank you for your help

Beyond the physical

I read a while ago a thread titled "mind power" and I was intrigued. A question to everyone, Ranger or not, what does your mind go through when you have 50+ pounds on your back rucking for hours on end for miles? Endless PT, getting smoked being a cherry in Batt, and every other extreme ph...

Ranger Spartan, I am considering it after my service. I have read a couple books on it (life in the french foreign legion) and I have talked to a few people who joined it. I have a glimpse of what to expect in the legion. I consider joining just to experience another way of living life, besides Amer...

For the Rangers that have trained with the French Foreign Legion, what are your opinions? The FFL doesn't seem what it used to be, and since the major decline in French Colonies, they have been doing a lot of peacekeeping missions.
