Nah, you'll be good almost all recruiting stations were closed today. No way all those slots went away. Just call them first thing Monday.

I just looked for an applicant here at the meps and 11X Option 40 is there for the following dates: 15 July, 29 July, 26 Aug, and 2 Sept. They will go quick. For those of you that have been waiting CALL YOUR RECRUITER ASAP.

I'll be out of the office all next week so I went ahead and checked the system one last time to see whats open with Option 40. These are the MOSs I see with an option 40: 25S,92W, 88M, AND 94E. I checked to see if option 40 is available to update for people shipping to 11X OSUT on Monday 20 May and ...

You may have a while to wait for an 11X option 40. Use your time to continue to get ready. Keep checking the board and I'll post up as soon as I start to see 11X with option 40. Keep in mind your recruiter has nothing to do with the 11X option 40 slots they are controlled by DA and DA hasn't release...

Ranger havoc996, you're correct that most recruits are just a quota to the recruiters. However, right now the only option 40s availble are for MOSs 92G, 94E, and 91B. Changing recruiters would accomplish nothing. Recruiters have no way to obtain an Option 40. These are dictated by DA's accession bra...

Thank you PerryB. That was very informative and helps me out a bit. On the subject, are the things like my ship date, and my BCT location negotiable so that one can base them around something like an Opt.40? I searched around the forums, but I could not really find a definitive answer. Thank you ag...

Your recruiter is wrong. Often recruiters say shit like that just to keep you from trying. Bottom line the counselors at your meps can update your reservation to an option 40 if: #1 you are qualified for an option 40 and #2 you have gotten airborne qualified. Some counselors are just too lazy or may...

I checked the system today and the only option 40s I see are for MOS 92G (With a $10K bonus) for 9 September and MOS 94E for 23 September. I'll try to update once a week. I will be out of the office all of next week.

I got the book Thursday afternoon and I am about 125 pages into the book. It really opened my eyes to the mindset of Rangers and the mentality that Rangers possess. I would highly recommend it to all the future soldiers that are in or considering going with a Option 40 enlistment.

Don't worry about the formula to determine you GT score. You'll be good.

You GT score needs to be 107. If you have a AFQT of 71 you should be GTG.

If you don't ship until August you can ask your recruiter to have the Meps Counselor try and update your reservation with an option 40. I do it at the meps I work at. I have a list of deps I check every week. I even update reservations on ship date if the dep is qualified for airborne and RASP. Your...

I just ordered the Book "Back in the Fight" by Joseph Kapacziewski. It will be released by Amazon.com on the 7th of May. Can't wait to read about this Ranger and his incredible story of never giving up.

This afternoon I checked the request system and called the Recruiting Command Operations center. They do have a few Option 40s available but only for MOS 27D and 92L. Why in the world they would have 92L with an option 40 is beyond me. They do have plenty of 18X for those that qualify. Haven't seen ...

Good Job, you have the scores required for RASP.
