I go to BCT soon as a 92y with an Opt40. My wife got pregnant and I don't want to do Ranger (but still want Airborne). Can I drop just RASP?

Go to RASP. It’s only an xtra 3 weeks. You will regret it later on down the road if you don’t.

There are only three Ranger Regiment locations and none of them overseas. Odds are you will stay with the one regiment for a while. If you go world wide Army you could go to any base in the world and there are a lot of bases as you probably know. RASP is voluntary though.

You don't move around at all. You can make your entire career in one battalion and never move. It's incredibly stable for your family.
RASP is 8 weeks now, RIP was 3 (back in the day when I went lol)

Think about investment. Do you think is easy to find somebody to volunteer to go through ABN, RASP, Ranger School, etc.? heck no, lol. That leads to the next question. Do you think is easy for a company (Rangers this case) to let employees go or let anybody else take them? They always ask you to let them know if you don't want to be there but you get the point.

If you're a 92Y and have the opportunity to go to Ranger school do not pass it up. Not only will you belong to one of the best outfits the Army has to offer you will have a leg up on others when it comes to future promotions. When your records go before a review board and they are looking for something to separate individuals you'll have it. You're in the Army and it's about sacrifices. My wife was pregnant during three of my deployments Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan, but at the end of the day the decision rest squarely on your shoulders choose wisely my friend.

It sounds like you don't want to go and you're using your wife as an excuse.
RASP is designed to weed out the quitters.
Finish airborne school, quit before you start RASP, and go to the 82nd.
