@@Jstaylor679 Yes, every OSUT and AIT will have a 75th and airborne volunteer program. I don't know how OSUT does it but most entry level volunteers do pre rasp PT to help you get more prepped. I don't think a medical waiver would stop you from getting an option 40 though.

Remember these words. "NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER EVER GIVE UP!"

I'm prior service myself, and decided if I ever went back in I would go to the regiment. And after watching this, it gave me a lot of hope. While I was in the big army in 2015 I self selected, and didn't think I would make it. But after watching this, boy lemme tell you, it really changed my view and gave me a lot of hope.

Prepare your body to be at its peak, keep yourself from being injured with rest and recovery techniques, diet is key, keep a clean head and mind, no drug no drink, practice self resolve and perseverance. Learn to network both online via network systems and with your peers, lead by example not words or attitude. Lead this way.

It would be nice if you guys interview a Ranger Warrant Officer who can cover all MOSs in the regiment. Keep up the great work 🫡

Graduated OSUT this past December. SF liaison showed up, Ranger liaison did not. Even though my senior Drill SGT specifically reached out to them bc there were a lot of us trying to secure an option 40 contract, never happened. From my recent personal experience, if you really want an option 40 contract, don’t go to OSUT without one. You might have to wait a little bit longer but it will save you the frustration.

Thats not how the contract works at all

59:54 - there are three things ... Ranger slots (also known as "Golf" slots) ... each IN unit has G slots where they can send their squad leaders to Ranger school ... Ranger tabs ... where a person has attended Ranger School and are "Ranger qualified" ... and there is the scroll, with or without the tab, which means a soldier is actually a Ranger, serving in Regiment.

Advanced Individual Training, it’s the extra schooling you get for your specific MOS ( Military Occupational Specialty) after basic training.

So I was 605lbs… started wanting to make a change for my life! Down to 450lbs in 10 months and still pushing harder to finish getting this weight off. My motivation is of course my health for my family and kids, but also because I’m 35 and I regret not having joined when I was 18. Now I that is all I can think of is losing and joining. My question is, once I am down to weight. Can I still get to Rangers? At my age and having been this heavy, everyone is saying that I have destroyed my body and that main Army is one thing, but my dream of being a Ranger is gone! At this point I am willing to push to body failure, I don’t care. I just can’t live with regret of knowing that I never tried!
