I'm a prior-service Navy E5 looking to enlist in the Army to join the 75th Ranger Regiment. I was an Air Traffic Controller in the Navy, but I want to be a part of a direct action SOCOM unit. I initially wanted to enlist as a 68W OP 40; my recruiter told me that I was not allowed to do so because the Army would not drop my rank to E4, even though I was willing to take the hit to do so.
He gave me a list of jobs that under the Army's "Business Rules" for prior-service, I am allowed to enlist with - 13F, 13M, 35F, and 35M are among those MOSs. I want to be the greatest asset to whatever team I am a part of. Having a skill other than pulling a trigger is very valuable - however, I still want to be an operator, on a platoon. I wanted to see if anyone from the Regiment has enlisted in any of those jobs and is willing to talk about their day-to-day experience training and on deployments. I also have a few rank specific questions.
1) As an E5 in the Regiment, would I be expected to get my Tab as soon as I get into Batt?
2) As an E5 in the Regiment, would I be put into a Team Leader billet immediately?
It is very challenging to get direct, first-hand accounts of Regiment information. Thank you to anyone who gets back to me for your information and time.
Very Respectfully,
