13F questions

Post by NoPainNoGain »

Hopefully I will be getting opt 40 added to my 11x contract on Monday as a favor from my CSM due to some screw ups from my old recruiter.

If it is not possible, I could instead get 13F opt 40 and push my ship date back. Based on what my new recruiter, who was Airborne, and another topic I read here, it seems that the difference between the two MOS's within a Ranger Batt. is much smaller than in the rest of the Army. He said it was more like 11b vs. 11c. So I'm fairly sold on that as a second option but my question is, will I automatically go to Airborne between AIT and RASP if I have a 13F opt 40 contract? I've seen it in this forum for other specialties but wasn't sure if that was specifically for certain ones or was maybe something extra you had to get added?

My new recruiter said I will be Airborne qualified regardless but I am just curious whether it will most likely happen before or after RASP.
