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.

I may be able to help you with this one, but not sure whatcha mean by misdemeanors? My son is at basic with a 68w option 40 contract. I helped him decide and talk with the recruiters on this one with him. I talked him into a different direction then to just going in as an Infantryman. Go in with the mindset of being more then just an elite janitor coming out. Combat medic in a Ranger Batt is what he is doing. Initially he doesn't have to have a security clearance but you could be denied clearance with a misdemeanor. Which you could always have expunged from your record.

Kevin Thomas - First and foremost, clear up the one left. You won't be able to do anything with an open case anyways. Whether your guilty or not it has to be cleared up. Just like having a ticket before basic, you won't ship until it's settled. Secondly, there is a good chance the misdemeanors could hold you up on your clearance, but be as truthful as you can be when filling out your PSIP or what ever program they use now. If denied clearance once you are in you will be bumped down to just a regular line unit.

They're already closed. They're from 2014. But one is a class a. The others are class b and c. Navy told me only the class a(was a naval recruit in high school but didn't go) so I'm assuming the same for army.

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.

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!

Does airborne(101st,82nd) need security clearance like the rangers. Air assault was my 2nd choice if I couldn't join the rangers

You will not be able to choose air assault, if you get airborne you can end up in Alaska, Italy,NC or Georgia. You do necessarily need a security clearance but most have them. You’ll get a clearance even with misdemeanors, i know this first hand.Kevin Thomas
