start to think of the military as a real job more than an entitlement program and I think that you'll be much more happy with your enlistment. every slot to schools that the army gives 'new guy who hasn't done shit' is a slot taken away from 'guy with multiple deployments and a family that wants to diversify/specialize'. You need to get your foot in the door, now more than ever with significant drawbacks on retention and options. I've seen a lot of guys get hung up about not getting 'what they want' and thinking that they will hang out and wait until their specific options open up.while i understand the logic that they employ it still rings juvenile and not 'big picture' For each category of jobs, you’ll combine various components. You’ll determine whether to call for reinforcements and when to order a retreat. The Army uses the nine sub-test categories to create line categories relevant to the type of MOS.

It slots you to the 75th Ranger Regiment as an Army Infantryman (MOS 11B) or. trust me, if we (recruiters) could make these options up for you guys we would, not only do we get the joy of sending you to what you want but we also have an easier contract because you are more likely to ship. There is basically a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) for everyone considering the Army as it currently offers over 150 specialties. Army 11x Option 4011x Option 40 This is the Army Infantry with Ranger. over 2.5 years of recruiting, I was only ever able to grab an airborne slot (this one was 11x w airborne) 'out of the air' one friggin time, and I couldn't believe it. some of the higher levels in recruiting are able to negotiate with the system coordinators (big army accessions) but it is rare. the program (fsr2s), is not anything that recruiters can control. Your recruiter is the only one who can tell you what jobs/options are available that 'minute'. I also understand that there is a limited number of RASP slots so they can get filled quickly whenever they are available.ġ) Are 11x opt 40's still available, if not, when would you expect them to start showing up again.Ģ) From experience: whats the chances of getting a slot at RASP after basic/airborne.ģ) (I feel like this is a stupid question but why not ask it) Theoretically If one signed an 18x contract could they then drop this and fill a slot at RASP if one was available. He told me infantry is hard to come by lately.įrom my understanding the Opt 40 guarantees a shot at RASP, but since it's an incentive and with the draw-downs less of these are being signed into contracts. I'm assuming he was mistaken because what he later offered me was another MOS with the opt 40, but I'm set on 11x so I declined. I've talked to a recruiter about joining with an 11x Opt 40 and he said some were available and I could have one within the next week.
