The most typical way of coming from any Army unit to the 75th is to re-enlist for it. Or they will be straight with you and tell you to your face that they need your job skill and can't afford to let you change units. Not impossible, but you remember how your paperwork was 'lost' before? Well expect it to happen again. If you don't enter active duty with an option 40 it becomes more difficult to get your new chain of command to sign off on your re-assignment to the 75th.

Your first question and question three kind of go together. There may be better answers on the board by other members, but I'll kick it off and either get corrected or someone will elaborate better than I can. I can make a few of these questions easier on you. Further, it seems the more current the information.the more ambiguous the answer is.

I am sorry for the length, but I am trying to be efficient and get as much as possible so that I can accurately take the next step this week. Am I over-thinking this, or is there some truth to this. I am concerned that if I am just an 'average' Soldier in the Regiment that I would not be recommended by the CoC to attend the OCS board.whereas in another unit I may be a stellar Soldier. Q4: I am a bit concerned.eventually I would like to apply to OCS. Is this true? If so.is 74D one of those MOS's? I hope not.I would feel goofy wearing a Maroon beret instead of tan if I made the cut. This was then confirmed by another poster in this message board. Q3: I have read on an AKO message board from someone who was a 25(something) that quite a few of the low-density support MOS's do not go to RASP.and are still assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, but wore Maroon berets instead. We have a great relationship and she would never tell me 'no' when it comes to my service.but I want to ensure that I am providing equal support by preparing her and my son for what may be to come if I make the cut. However, I am curious if anyone can give me a good run down on how to prepare my family for the OPTEMPO and what may help easy her mind despite her support. Q2: I understand that by being in the Regiment that I will deploy and that the training schedules are a lot more intense than your average unit. This may give me a little extra time to work things out if needed.and L6 would be a pretty cool course as a 74D. Also, HRC is saying that no matter what my orders state, they can get me into L6 and Airborne.and that if selected by the 75th Ranger Regiment.this would not proclude me from being able to attend RASP and accept assignment. Q1: What would my options be for getting to the Regiment? I will more than likely be able to choose from a list of available duty-stations.as a 74D I imagine that choosing Fort Benning will open more opportunities with the Regiment.but I will also look for HAAF and Fort Lewis. So.now I am trying to see what I may be able to do since I am not willing to play hardball on this one.I would rather be a Soldier on AD than sitting waiting on Option 40 to open up for PS E-4 recruitment. This brings me to questions.and I am sorry for asking these before my research is complete, but time is of the essence.įirst off, my recruiter has said that since I am an E-4 and recruiting is so hard for PS, that I will not be able to get Option 40. I just got word that my MOS is on the list for Active Duty Prior-Service enlistment.or that I could even potentially reclass to 11X if I chose.I have confirmation that I can be released and that I can have paperwork in hand by mid-week. By the time my release came through, Active Duty was not taking E-4's at all. In the meantime, I had had my permanent profile removed and reclassified to 74D. I filed a complaint with my local congressman, which found that the BN civilian administrator had never properly in-processed my request so that it could be approved. The IG could not find my paperwork either and was a bit lax in their investigation. Once I got the BDE level or higher, noone could even claim that they had ever seen my packet. I followed up with my chain of command and noone could answer where my packet was. After returning to my unit, I requested release to Active Duty three times. During training, I was hurt and placed on permanent profile.

Further, it seems the more current the information.the more ambiguous the answer is.Ī little background.I enlisted as a Reservist in 2008. Rangers, please excuse the questions, but through doing my research on here and a few other sites.I have not come to a conclusive answer.
