I just went down to meps to sign my active papers. When I was down there i asked them to change my MOS from 12b to 11b. They told me that it has never been done and must wait tell I reenlist. Is that true. They also said I could not get a ranger option. One thing they said is that I could go the SF route. Just want to know what you guys think and if they are telling me the truth. :?:

Don't know your situation. But with the spelling in that post they're probably right about no Option 40 for you.

I noticed you listed prior service in your signature. Prior service cannot get an Option 40.

Can you hold a tune......cause you shouldn't be allowed to hold a pencil?

Sorry about the spelling, meant to say sign not sing. Next Time will slow the typing down or proof read it. Thanks Ranger Bell.

should have taken it. i'm surprised they were going to let you change your MOS at all.

Combat Arms is in great demand right now. a 12B coming back would have gotten a PS bonus and a duty station, but that's about it.

if they were gonna let you go 18X, being as the requirement for them is high too, you should have jumped at it.
