As far as I know, Option 40 requires a secret clearance. You need a secret clearance and 110 GT for Ranger Regiment.

You need a Secret clearance to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment, but it is possible to go through RASP while the clearance is still processing. I graduated RASP with an IDF Veteran who got stuck in Post-RASP until he eventually got RFSed for his Secret clearance not going through.

In order to get option 40, must score over a 50 on the asvab and have a 105GT score or higher. You will need a secret clearance and it should be initiated when you enlist or even completed. BLUF: if you meet the requirements but there is no option 40 contracts then select a regular 11x contract, score high on your pt test and volunteer. It’s as simple as raising your hand when the rasp recruiters come talk to your company. Start running now!

Both are true. However getting the waiver in my opinion is the better way to go if you plan of going career and advancing. Flowing with the system will provide better results.
