After being recruited for 13F Airborne, can I get 10th Mountain Division?

Recruited for 13f airborne leave Monday, can I apply for 10th mountain division? If so how and when do I do apply? Would it restrict me in the future for 75th ranger or special forces? Or help me? Thank you

You don’t get a choice. You’ll go to airborne after AIT and you’ll get orders from there.

Most likely not because you need to be with an airborne unit. Sorry bud

If you’re thinking of placing so many
pre-conditions now, why join he Army? Stay home and look into a job at the local car wash instead

An Airborne Contract gets you Airborne School, it doesn't mean you will go to an Airborne Unit, of which there are only two, the 173rd and 82nd. You won't go to the 75th unless you Volunteer AND there is a slot for your MOS AND you pass Selection and RASP. You can put the 10th at the top of your wish list, but your assignment after you get done with BCT, AIT and Airborne will be where the Army Needs you. There are a lot of jump wings in Mechanized and other non Airborne units.

You're supposed to go to an Airborne assignment after airborne school. If you volunteered for Airborne while you were in, you would absolutely go to an Airborne assignment after the school.
But, sometimes it happens to the initial entry soldiers that their first unit is not an Airborne assignment. The next assignment absolutely will be an Airborne unit.

You will more than likely go directly to an airborne unit. 10th May come later. As initial entry, let it all take its course. Thank you for your service.
