Option 40 Update as of 10 September

Post by PerryB »

Good Morning, I checked the request system this morning and see training with Option 40 in the following MOSs : 92W, 88M, 92A, AND 25C. All of these were shipping in November. If you are wanting 11X option 40 it looks like you will have to wait until they load some training shipping in the 2nd QTR FY14. Right now USAREC is focused on ending FY13 and then filling the 1st QTR of FY14.
Good Luck if you have any recruiting questions or issues please let me know. I was off this board for a month or so but everything is back to normal at work and I'm here to help.

Awesome update!

Abacus, I'll check tomorrow morning. It is very rare to see a 35 series come with an option 40. In cases like this you have to ask yourself which is more important. Becoming an elite member of one of the premier units in the Army or just another MI guy? Don't get me wrong it is awesome you are considering an enlistment in to the Army and I'll answer any questions you have to make sure you get the best information to make your decision.

Why after May? Are you in college or High School?

Thanks for the link Ranger Jim and PerryB becoming a Ranger far more important to me then being a regular MI GUY hence the reason I was looking into the 68W and 13F.
