Desperate need of Rangers help, please!

Post by glocky45 »

Rangers,
I've heard it would be 99% Sure I'd get a chance at RASP after OSUT & BAT with an 11x opt 4( If I was very fit, mentally tough)?? Is this truth, or sarcasm? I've heard if they don't need my MOS after BAT they won't look at you for RASP (w/ opt 4). And I've heard they only have 9 rasp class schedules per fiscal year. I'm trying to find out which statements accurate.
Post Script: Currently been looking for new 11x,13f,21b any with option 40. after I lost my 11xopt 40 reservation because meps. Its been awhile and my recruiter has been giving me sitreps everyday on what ROC says is avalible. Thats why I have been curious to if I took a 11x opt4 and was a p.t. stud, IF I'd be able to get a Rasp slot, If so approx. percentage and/or all problems that would prevent a "perfectly qualified" person from getting it. 20110820 APFT

You know, I used to go to the bar on the weekend. Prior to leaving I would put on my best clothes, brush my hair, sometimes brush my teeth, and put the obligatory sock in my pants 8) . Now, obviously I had a leg up on the other guys at the bar...I'm a pussy magnet!! After about 4 hrs of chatting up the ladies in the bar (not picky) I would be crying in my beer about getting shut down by every chick in the place. Seems that there were at lot of "other guys" at the bar that wanted pussy as well. Typically I would end up banging some 260 lb chick with a nice 5 o'clock shadow which was definitely not my initial choice.

Why the dumb ass scenario above?!! I'm hoping you will just take whatever contract your recruiter gives you so that after OSUT you can come back whining about not picking up a contract or getting "screwed" out of a RASP contract by your Drill Sgt. I enjoy watching young soldiers make horrible decisions.

Yes...I was being facetious!!! Get it in your CONTRACT.

Look at that. Humor, truth, advice, hairy drunk girls and a verbal beating all in one. Squared away. :D
