My ultimate goal for the military was to attend the PSD training course because I want to be a bodyguard or security contractor.

Your ultimate goal should be to serve in the premier light infantry raid force in the world. Everything after that will be a disappointment.

Holy shit dude that was quick- what contract did you get ?

Alex you posted some potential MEPS dates. Did you go to MEPS ?

Welcome here Sir. In addition to this site, there is a discord server (he will probably know what that means, I had no clue) for ArmyRanger.com that he can join which will allow Dylan to communicate with other Option 40s. If he is interested in doing that, let me know and I will reach out to the adm...

Welcome here, how is DLI ?

Welcome here Fathertryhard, go post an introduction.

Stephen, hold out for what you want or go find another recruiter.

Welcome here Alex, knowledge is power so take some time to read everything here that you can.

As for your recruiter, he obviously never went to RASP because OSUT will not get you ready for it.

Look around here and get back with any questions.

Thanks for the update Mike and best of luck moving forward!

Stephen, please put the whole "I will plan on volunteering from OSUT" on the bottom of your list of future plans. Recruiters love this sales pitch because by the point you realize it's bullshit, you're off to your first leg unit and he/she still makes quota for enlisting your ass. That's p...

The 35 series also has a lot of opportunity as an Option 40, going to the Regiment's RMIB is a very select group of intelligence and signals professionals and I would highly suggest looking into that.

Get what you want from your recruiter, or find another recruiter. You are a civilian and don't owe them anything. 18x as an enlistment option is some tough sledding, much better success rate from those that go there after being in the Army (and especially Regiment) for awhile. There are some SF site...

Well that's quite the story.

There are even better ones around here, take some time to read them especially the letters from school and the experiences of those that showed up here as civilians and made their way into the Regiment. Also, always capitalize Ranger.

Welcome here Alex, there is a great deal of information on this site so take some time to read as much as you can.

Welcome here Anthony. You are holding all the cards as far as enlisting at this point and you need to push the recruiters to get the contract you want. You are 17, in high school and have time to figure it out. Recruiters need to fill quotas, are pushed to hit numbers and if you are walking in off t...

Welcome here Thomas, there is a lot of information to absorb on this site, take advantage of it.
