Hello

Post by Christerray »

Hi, my name is Ben. I'm a Junior in Highschool, 18 years old, and plan to join the Rangers (If I succeed). My goal is to take a 91W with Option 40, but I'm still very unfamiliar with the process, so I will be asking questions to some of the veterans here. I know my place, and I know that every veteran here is wise and has been through a lot more then I have, and I respect each individual who has served in the armed forces. That is why I want to join, because all of you guys are very honorable.

That's it. I'm just a whiteback civilian from New Jersey, interested in helping if I get the chance.

I also scored an 82 on the AFQT. I don't totally understand if that is a good score, or good enough to get me in rangers. I'm so 'green' to all of this.

Stay in H.S. and get your diploma. Without the diploma no OPT 40.

Good luck to you Ben, always capalize the word Ranger when you type it. Make use of the search button to find the answers to most if not all of your questions, listen to the DEPs who've been here awhile in this forum.

You can start off by doing 50 pushups RIGHT NOW "elevated" (which means find a chair put your feet on top of it and start knock'em out)
