Ranger Jim,

As of right now I would like to be an 11X. I have not yet talked to a recruiter, mostly because I still have a whole year of high school left and my parents have said they will not co-sign a contract when I am 17. They support my decision it is just that they want me to wait until I am 18. I guess I should still go see a recruiter soon and get the conversation going though, since it would be a while anyways until I get the contract I want and eventually sign.

For now I am trying to improve my PT scores and get into the best shape possible. I took an online practice ASVAB and got a 90% so I am not too worried about that. Any advice on whether or not I should talk to a recruiter this early would be much appreciated.

It might be worth your time to visit a recruiter and get an idea what is available to you. Please post a PT score every two or three weeks. I know you do PT daily, but if you test every couple weeks, you can better judge your progress. Never, never quit!
