Wow.....well now he has a memory to go with the tattoo. Why would you quit in the Q- Course? I have heard SUT is supposed to a mini Ranger school of sorts (sorry if I'm wrong) but it seems like you already went so far....

I graduated from OSUT today and now I'm on the bus headed to airborne for in-processing. One step down time to take on the next.

Make sure you continue to PT, Airborne PT is a joke. My roommate was a PJ cone and we kept each other motivated to work out when we were released for the day. Find yourself some motivated individuals and stay away from any life sucking quitters.

Roger that. I've got a good group of guys to work out with headed to SOPC after graduation, a fair number of them actually wanted orders to RASP but were unable to switch.
 
I finished the first week of BRC. I've puked 2-3x's a day, nearly blacked out numerous times, etc. I've been trying to absorb all of the good mentorship given by the instructors and apply it--all of the core skills that I'll be using in the course are drastically improving. My shoulder has been holding up and actually getting better. I sprained my foot last week but I took care of it and it's not a problem now, thankfully. I'm very excited to continue on and compete for Honor Graduate.

Bahahahha. Get out there and stand on the wires, leg. BAC is 4 days of training packed into 3 weeks of time.

Find some of the PJ cones there and take them with you.

Don't give up on it until every option has been taken away. Just in my case it was amazing how many rumors came up and were shot down in the process. Especially the B point you brought up. It might have been easier for someone to say they were non-selected due to a DUI than because they weren't SF material (of course I don't know, but that could be believable). I freaked out when I read that the max age for the REP-63 went from 35 down to 30 (to match the 18X contract) about a week before my physical. After calls and emails to every contact I had, it was proven to be untrue. And I read this change on the National Guard forum posted by the resident SF qualified moderator.

Have you looked to see if 19th Group might be a little easier to get in the door with? I had heard that 19th (especially in Texas) had more openings so maybe they would be a little more willing to deal with waivers (once again I clarify that I don't know, just throwing ideas out there).

Did the max age change for 18x contracts from 35yoa to 30?
 
I apologize for my last post without doing a search on internet. According to the NG site, looks like the 35yoa max age, no prior service, is still in effect. Unless the NG website has not been updated to reflect the current requirements.
