Any insight or any info on joining Rangers after going through PSYOPS? I really want to do both and want to see how to make that happen.

You probably won't want to after finishing the Psyops Q Course. You absolutely do not need an Option 40 contract, just volunteer to attempt the Selection.

PSYOP only has 4-5 positions in the Rangers, and they are for VERY experienced, senior NCOs. You can of course to go Ranger school (different from being a Ranger) and if you go to 9th BN PSYOP you will work a lot with the Rangers. But remember, active PSYOP is a Special Operation Force in itself, it has tons of the same benefits and tactical fun of the Rangers.
Just get the 37X contract and you will get Selection guaranteed, pass Selection and you are guaranteed Airborne with follow on assignment to a PSYOP Group at Bragg doing Special Operations worldwide.
