Hello my name is Derek. I'm a future soldier my mos is 11x option 3 and i'm leaving to basic training at Fort Benning next month :D I was told by my recruiter that Rangers are the toughest most intelligent soldiers out in combat and i might get a chance to volunteer at the end of basic :D I'm the type of person that only believes in winning cause it's fun!! I'm prepared for basic right now!!!

My personal records:
76 push ups
77 sit ups
14:21 2 mile
18 pull ups

Wish me luck for that Ranger slot :D

Welcome

Forgive this old timers silly question but what's a Opt 3?

Thanks for the welcome Ranger Steadfast, option 3 means your not guaranteed a ranger or airborne slot at the end of basic training.

Wouldn't that just be 11X then? Just curious.

Get rid of everything BUT your ship date. You can put 11x in front of your date.

Option 3 is "choice of training" meaning you get to pick your job, which is the standard option for everyone. You have the standard 11x contract. Keep an eye out for the Ranger Liason's brief when you get to reception down at benning so you can get that Ranger contract added on.
