I am currently attending Airborne school at Fort Benning on my way to Parachute Rigger school. I also have an OPT40 Ranger contract so RIP is scheduled for me after that. My first choice MOS was 18X but I missed the age cut off for that contract by 2 months.

My roommate here at Airborne just got out of AIT for Intel and apparently is all set up to get attached to 7th group straight from here. This started me thinking about what it takes to get attached to a group.

What I would really like is to get HALO school right out of AIT and get attached to a group as a HALO rigger. Is this in any way possible, and if so what would be the process to get the ball rolling in that direction? I would be willing to drop RIP from my contract for an opportunity like that, if such a thing were possible.

Thanks in advance for any information.
