PerryB wrote:When a recruiter says no option 40's for the rest of the year he means the rest of the Fiscal Year (FY). FY 2014 ends 1 October. We should start enlisting people to ship in October (FY 2015) starting in late July or early August. SO bottom line is wait. Your recruiter will try to rush you (that is his mission) you just wait until Option 40s are on the system. We have Option 40 for people that have already enlisted and will ship this summer. Since you are going late in the school year all those basic training seats are gone. Keep getting ready, follow up on this site, and stay in contact with your recruiter but be clear with them you'll wait for an option 40.

Thank you Ranger PerryB. So Option 40 contracts should open up around July to ship out during the month of October correct?

Do any Rangers on here know if a Ranger Recruiter could help? My brother had friends that are Ranger recruiters at Fort Benning. Would it be worthwhile to contact them?

I don't know if you are spazzing out with ADD or what, but you are making all Rangers here shake their heads. You are confirming left and right like you couldn't quite hear on the phone or radio, when the information is still displayed right in front of you! Pay attention, don't forget nothing, and do what you're told! You could be that pain in the ass for a team leader and squad leader someday. You now know what Army privates are like, because you are acting like one.

Rangers,
I am going to attempt to unfuck myself right now. I realize that I did not follow the rules and do what I was told. For that I am sorry. From now on and throughout my life, I will pay more attention to detail and what is right in front of me. If I want to become a Ranger someday, this is definitely a skill that I should learn. I have annoyed the piss out of Rangers on this forum. Thank you to all the Rangers on here that have made me realize my mistakes and that I need to start acting my age.

OK, I have seen you on the site. The Option 40 slots are available. What's happening for you? Never, never quit!

Ranger Jim, I actually just walked in the door coming home from MEPS. I scored a 111 GT score on my ASVAB and got an 11x Option 40. I decided to quit going to the recruiters who have messed with me the past 3 months and went to a different recruiting office and they got me this contract in less than 24 hours.

Kudos for sticking with it. It's more or less a sales game....you want a Jeep Rubicon, they offer you a Ford Pinto. Don't waste the slot! Never quit.

Ranger Jim, I took an oath today at MEPS, are you referring to that one or the one I take the day I ship out to BCT?
