Where the fuck was that bonus when I came in?! Thanks Obama... (zero sarcasm)...

Glad they’re doing this though. Hopefully they make RASP harder to go along with this. We don’t need a bunch of money hungry dudes who will just show up and then shit bag after they get here

Thank you for the info!

I was at a recruiter this past fall and there were no 11B available let alone OPT 40, which was my ideal pick.

I was drawn to 11B but I did not realize that you are enlisted as 11X and could potentially become a 11C? (Is there a choice in the matter?)

Finally, are you working with only local recruits? Or is this open to all regardless of location?

Thank you for your time

11X is open ended. You can ask for 11B or C but ultimately, there are 2 major deciding factors - Needs of the Regiment and your line scores. The final decision will be made at Ft. Benning.

Finally, are you working with only local recruits? Or is this open to all regardless of location?

This is nationwide.

Are they opening this to Prior Service now as well?

My understanding is option 40 is only an initial enlistment option.

Got my answer. Hope this helps someone.

I would take one in a heart beat if it wasn't for my pesky back injury.

I guess Army MDs do not like it when you have hardware in your back.

I don't know if you have any more information as it is now February 2019, but my recruiter keeps telling me that there are "no option 40 contracts" left. I went to MEPS two weeks ago, and made a 121 GT score, with my line scores being similar. I was wondering if you had any more information, if not, I appreciate you taking the time out to reply either way.
