Shipped off to Iraq?

Post by Joseph PrettyDeepWater »

I used the search button and couldnt find anything on this subject so I thought I"d ask.

If I had an 11 bravo contract with Opt 40 can the Army send me off to Iraq without first getting a chance to complete Airborne school and become a Ranger?

Hopefully that question was worded correctly.

Thanks in advance to anyone he gives me info on this subject.

no. with the demand for more Soldiers in the Ranger Regiment, the Army will not cut the pipeline time for reinforcements to a leg unit.

the Army is even giving ABN/RIP as a reenlistment option.some of the people who have reupped under this option have already posted here.
