| | older recruite I am infoThis is bulldogg's Younger brother but not by much. I availed myself unto a recruiter today and things sound promissing for this 33 year old Infantry wanna be. I am looking for advise of anykind in dealing with my recruiter in negotiations. I want Infantry, I want Airborne, maybe Ranger school. Is it a good idea to do them all in succesion? I was told that I may go in as a officer as I have thirty hours of college credit from a Fire Academy that I attended at my local community college. Is this just smoke? And is it a good idea to go in as a officer or not? I have another meeting with my recruiter on the 27th. Thanks for all the pearls you are about to impart. I am getting more and more excited the more I think on this. Always wanted to do this. Thanks again |

Anybody out there got any pearls of wisdom for him? I've been out for 11 years so my info is pretty much outdated.

It will not be easy for you to be high-speed at that age. I can answer you questions about Ft. Benning and what to expect there. You can ask for airborne school, if the guy says no tell him you will find a recruiter that will. 75th regiment is probably impossible [Ranger unit]. I would say your only chance at Ranger school is if you become a Infantry officer. There are too many 25 year old studs out there who would kill for it and have the experience to deserve it. Feel free to PM me.

Hey Z, take it from me, my lil bro can handle this and the 25 year old studs are no match. I have counseled him to go 11b, Airborne, get some experience and THEN put in for Ranger if he wants it.

11b1p is the way to go. Take it step by step, you might get to Benning and think "holy ****....." Dont let me discourage you, I am just being blunt. Its an attitude that you will grow fond of while being in the Infantry.

Hell they did it for the Tillman brothers.  At least with us they get a couple warriors who will never whinge.And as for the butt kicking, yeah, I figure he owes me a few and he's welcome to try. |
