If its currently closed for Prior Service (which I find hard to believe) you can go 11X with or without an Airborne option and then go to SFAS. If selected you will go to Airborne School en route if I'm not mistaken.
Your recruiter should be trying to get you that 18X enlistment option, even though it's a little more work for him.

Question answered - 18X is currently closed to prior service.

Now, ThatGuy, that you have identified yourself as "That Guy"
1. Your post did nothing except provide FALSE hope for the OP because you didn't / don't have current relevant information
2. You haven't filled out your profile so WE know who you are and what you are bringing to the conversation.

This isn't mil dot com.

Follow the rules, post when you have relevant accurate information, engage in informed discussion and debate, or go back to what ever the reason was that you have a post count of 2 since 2009. Granted, we did have some profiles lost due to server issues a couple years ago. If yours was one of them, please re-enter your information.

We welcome members who lurk and members who contribute. But when you contribute, it needs to be accurate information. The fact you put "3 yrs recruiting" gave you a bit of a pass - until your info was incorrect.
