Option 40 Dep

Post by ws6man »

:twisted: Hey all you Rangers! I am a newbie here and i thought i would say whats up! I am in the delayed entry program, waiting to be sent to basic June 22. My contract states that i will be sent to basic, then to AIT, then Airborne school, then REP, and then Ranger School, all of my training (even basic) will be at Ft. Benning. I have always wanted to be a ranger since i was 5! I have two cousins that were rangers during the first gulf war and when i saw them return, i was set on becoming just like them! I dont know a lot of stuff about military life and experiences since i am a newbie and i was hoping you could give me some advice, and tell me some stuff! Thanks guys!!!!! :twisted:
Delayed entry program, leave for basic June 22, then AIT, Airborne, REP, and then Ranger.

You can call me GUY when we share considerably more experience than having both been DEPS.
