Doing well enough. Turning into a bitter old man it would seem. Yelling at people to get off my lawn and slow down driving in the neighborhood.

Chris, Welcome to ArmyRanger.com. If you have a desire to be a Ranger, going the OPT40 route will give you that opportunity. As you already know, there are a lot of variables when trying to attend RASP II as a LT/CPT. Serving for a few years as enlisted and then going to OCS won't necessarily increa...

Let's hope they start the early payment program that I read about on Reddit today

It has been almost a month, any news Avonte?

I'm not sure how often they offer Jump School once you are in OSUT. I know the Ranger Recruiters will come by and ask for volunteers during your class. What is your GT Score? You probably know this but last I checked it was 105 to qualify for an OPT40. Once you get through the first few weeks and ha...

Ok, perhaps it was a typo as you made this post correctly. Ensure you always capitalize Ranger here as well. Being able to be patient will be useful when it comes to trying to get an OPT40. Most folks trying to enlist that we hear from are always told there are none available and the recruiter will ...

Thanks for checking in with us. I have indirect knowledge of EIB out across the Army and for some reason it tends to be "harder" or maybe less people care. Regiment has always been watched over closely for their EIB lanes (at least when I was in) because they had such a high success rate c...

Robby, it won't take luck so do the job. Keep us updated as you can!

I have not read it but I have a weird rule about reading GWOT non-fiction.

The Reaper is on our OPT40/New Ranger reading list. I don't think anyone has recommended Heart of A Ranger.

Hey Sardar, Welcome to the site. Make sure you read the rules of the site before posting again. If you have read the rules, let me know which one you violated in your post. What was the other branch you originally wanted to serve in? What job do you hope to get? I would research the difference betwe...

Hey Ty, There is a lot for the Army to offer you and you it. It's easier said than done coming off of something like this but you've got the right attitude and you need to do you best to keep it. Go learn the job. Hopefully find some good leadership or even become a good young leader, and reapply or...

You gotta start somewhere. Whatever motivation you need to improve. You've got time. Try to follow some kind of program and track your progress.

Kris is an excellent person for you to look up to. I met him a couple of times although I never served with him. One of the times you remember someone and they have no clue who you are probably. He was bigger than the job. And I mean that even if he was alive. It was impressive to hear about before ...

Hey Julian. Welcome to ArmyRanger.com To answer your question, I would study and retake the ASVAB to try to score over 110 before going to MEPS if that is an option. I'm not very familiar with how the Reserves or NG work, though. You can definitely enlist in a Ranger eligible MOS with no option or O...

Connor, I sent you a PM. No doubt you'll see it. Your GT score over 110 pretty much quals you for anything you want to do in the Army. I'd remind you that the only way to ensure you get to do something is to have it in your contract. I don't recall you saying what job you hope to have... Pick one or...
