In a year or two when I enlist, I was wondering if there was an enlistment option to go to RASP after I get done with BCT. I heard it was possible, but I would just like someone to confirm it for me. If it's possible, would the Army instantly sign me up for BAC and RASP after I pass Basic Combat Training? Thanks.

Yes and No- You can enlist with the 40 Option, but that just means if you pass OSUT and Abn School- they will let you move to a RASP slot- there are no guarantees you will pass RASP-Most Ranger classes run 40-60 % failure rates, and that is after RASP.

Yes. Enlisting with an Option 40 contract is the only GUARANTEED way to go to RASP after basic training and Airborne.
Also, I can’t speak for non infantry mos, but it’s not uncommon for a regimental recruiter to stop by a basic training (at Ft Benning) or Airborne school to meet with Option 40 trainees in order to fill them in on what’s to come, and also to “give out” RASP slots.
TLDR
Yes you can enlist with an option40 contract. It’s also not impossible to go to airborne and rasp after bct. A lot of it depends on luck (right place right time) and the recruiter.

Yes you can. You can go from BCT to airborne school to Pre-RASP. Just remember do NOT do anything that you aren't told you can't do when you get there. Example finish Airborne school report to RASP on Friday and Pre-RASP stars Monday and you take off for the weekend and you weren't told you can't do that. Fail to follow instructions right from the get go will give you a black eye and possibly not allow you to pass and make to Regiment.
