11X or 13F?

Also as a 13F you can go to an artillery unit. I spent my entire time as a 13F in artillery battalions and then at a division. Raining steel is outstanding. We are the Eyes of Death!.

Go with 13F, if you can't get RASP (Option 40) in your contract then attempt to at least get Airborne School ask for an Airborne unit assignment and try for RASP later from an Airborne unit assignment. 13F's are usually in heavy demand in wartime because they are so mission critical to the Infantry MOS (11 Series MOS). Also, you should always go with what your favorite Primary MOS is first it is not worth lowering your expectation for an Army school that your going to get with experience anyways by SSG or SFC. What do I mean by that? Most of what they train you in Ranger school your going to get anyway via your regular Combat Arms training by the rank of SSG or SFC. The intent of Ranger School for Combat Arms Soldiers is to speed up the acquisition of experience and/or make sure the learning is consistent. You can take any Infantry or 11 Series MOS and by the rank of SSG or SFC, they have almost all the Ranger crap in their heads already regardless of if they attended RASP or not. So choosing 11 Series over 13F you would be just be downgrading your MOS choice per your preferences, chasing a cloth tab.

This is when you can negotiate. If you want a 40 option, don't sign the papers until you have it. There will be slots in both MOSes. If you sign for 13F 40 option, you will go from BCT to AIT to Airborne to RASP. If you graduate, you will go to the 75th and they will eventually send you to Ranger School.
