I'm thinking about going the 11x route with option 40. I didn't know if there was anything else that needed to be done or what. I think my biggest thing is thing is I want to go airborne. Thank you to those who serve!

Also ask about becoming a 37F (PSYOP Specialist) You will guarantee to get station here. Airborne is a must. If you have any questions about the 37F program hit me up.

I ask for 11B, airborne, and duty at 82nd. When I was at MEPS they tried to tell me no I told the guy your eating my time and I’m wasting your and started to get up to leave. Miraculously one quick phone call opened a slot up. Imagine that. These recruiter and counselor are like used car salesmen. They don’t want to see a customer walk away.

Option 40 is a ranger option, chances are if you dont make it through rasp you’ll end up in the 82nd or the 173rd, seems all of the 82nd infantry battalions are people who were 18x’s or option 40’s, myself being one of them

As an 11X, you'll be assigned either as an 11B Infantryman (likely) or an 11C Indirect Fire Infantryman (less likely).
As an Option 40 you will go directly from OSUT to Airborne School, and from there to RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program). Upon successful completion of RASP, you will be assigned to a Ranger Battalion. These are airborne units, but none are at Fort Bragg.
An Option 4 will send you directly from OSUT to Airborne School, and from there to your duty assignment, which would probably be Fort Bragg.

I was always told the Army likes to keep most paratrooper in Bragg. That's why when ever I filled out my dream sheet, I always got Bragg.
Anyway, the AF pilots at Pope Air Force Base in Bragg, always need flying time to keep their flying status. That's why sometimes we jumped 5 times a day, or everyday.

Ask your branch manager(officer) or career manager(enlisted) and they will say Airborne!

If you get option 40 you go to airborne anyway since all rangers must become or already are airborne qualified
