Good afternoon gentlemen,
So i'm slotted to go up to the recruiter's office on Monday of next week to pick a job and then later to MEPs for my DLAB, physical, and swear in..
I just received a call from my recruiter telling me that he found and reserved an 35m contract for me with an $xxx bonus. He later told me that the problem is..... He cant find one with an option 40 contract. He also stated that this MOS is nearly impossible to come by for an option 40 as the Army wont pay for this much training. I believed he was referring to language school HUMINT now has to go through(?), as well as airborne and then RASP...
From what i've heard, and according to this site: The United States Army | Fort Benning | 75th Ranger Regiment | Military Occupational Specialties, this combination of a contract is possible to attain, is this not the case?
I was also informed that since he reserved this job once, he only has one more time to reserve me a job. I didn't ask him to reserve it, and I appreciated the swiftness of ensuring that the contract wasnt lost.. I have told him that I am aiming for a Ranger contract though, and that I don't want anything else. I also asked if he could call me back later today or Monday before I come in, to let me know if any new contracts popped up that met my preferences. I stated that 35m 0p. 40 is the only way I want to go, and even if another intel MOS op. 40 became available I would like to know as well...
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
