Option 40 with college

Post by Hoops »

Im in high school and I want to become an Army Ranger the thing is I'm going to college and I know my chances are slim if I try for rasp 2. I was wondering if there was a way I could do an option 40 after college and also what would my options be if I did not make it into the Regiment? Thank you

Thank you for your help and your service Jim; I am a sophomore in high school and I've wanted to be in the 75th Ranger Regiment since the day I found out they exist. I've got a long way to go but I'm willing to do almost anything to make into the Regiment. I will take a new PT and post results as soon as I can.

16 is our minimum age, so you are good to go. Now the clock is ticking on your task to sself administer a PT test; don't forget pull-ups, too.

Who the fuck are you talking to Hoops? You best start addressing the Rangers on this site accordingly. Read the FAQ and unfuck yourself ASAP.
