Are you able to negotiate Ranger & Jump school for the Traditional OCS NCNG Contract?

I’m a prior service Marine, and just curious on if I can negotiate Ranger and Jump School to the officer contract.

No, these aren't like a regular enlistment contract, and there's no negotiation when it comes to enlistment contracts either. If you're going into the NG you can get whatever schools your unit is authorized, willing and able to send you to.

Unless you are going to a jump unit, airborne is likely not on the table. Ranger school may be possible if you are going to an infantry or recon unit. I wouldn't hold my breath.

If you are a Nasty Gurl, unless you are in an Airborne Unit, in a coded airborne slot, forget an Airborne School slot Devil Dawg. Same pretty much applies there Ranger School. Of course, you could donate a massive amount of money to your governor’s political war chest and that would go along way to securing a School slot.
