Re: New hopeful Ranger
Have your recruiter call your MEPS counselors and they can check weekly to see if they can update your reservation with Option 40. Some counselors are lazy and won't do it or make excuses as to why they can't. I am not one of those counselors. Updating a reservation to option 40 takes less than 2 minutes. If your recruiter runs in to a wall let me know and I'll try and contact him.
