I got the crazy opportunity as an 88m to attend Ranger school while being initial entry. I went strait through and really liked the culture I was surrounded by. Being back home this past year has been miserable for me and I can’t stop thinking about trying out for ranger bat. Is there anyway I could go active and tryout or do I have to wait until my contract is up?

That&#39;s what you need. Don&#39;t hold out for any option 40 crap, just take whatever, preferably an airborne assignment. Since you&#39;re listing yourself as an 11B1V I&#39;m assuming that you&#39;re an Airborne Qualified 11B. If you&#39;re not, you need to change that because nobody likes a poser, and if you don&#39;t understand why that&#39;s incorrect then you definitely need to change it. But since you&#39;re an Airborne qualified, Ranger qualified 11B, ask to go to the 82nd. You can immediately submit your request to try out for the 75th.

Your best hope is to go to a line unit and then try to go to regiment from there. I think you&#39;d find the same mentality in some other units also. Most light units are the same way.
