Good to see you getting involved. Just spoke with the folks at MEPs. They have been seeing option 40 for a variety of MOSs. Never, never quit!

I saw a recruiter and listened to him ramble on about pay and MOS's and other opportunities. I brought up that I would like to be a Ranger and he kept saying "Ranger School" instead of RASP. I did not want to correct him on anything since I was just getting basic info and stuff filled out. Next time I will bring up option 40 and RASP. However, I am in no rush since I almost have an entire year until I am 18.
What have you been doing? Never, never quit!

As of right now I have started my senior and I am running Cross Country. I had a meeting with my recruiter and both my parents, they support my decision to join the army and try to get an option 40. However, they do not want me to be an 11x. For now they are making me cut off contact with my recruiter for a few months. They want me to enjoy my senior year and decide if this is really want I want to do. I will continue training and will post pt results soon. I am 9 weeks into the push-up program posted by Ranger Silverback and am so grateful for this site and all its content.

Good to see you continue to progress. Please stay in touch with your recruiter. You can enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) and schedule your departure date. Never, never quit!
