Welcome to the board.
Thanks for the link Noah. Good job.
I still don't get the purpose of the Option 70. Maybe in some other unit but definitely not in Ranger. Why? You can transfer to SF easily when ya get tired of Rangering.
I would lose that Option 70. I can only see it hindering you. Why would the Rangers send you to schools? Let SF send you to schools. Drop the Option 70.
