Helping a friend......
I have a couple of questions to help out a friend who is an 18X that was not selected after SFAS, a straight enlistee for 18X. He has done a lot of thinking about things and come to the conclusion that it may be a blessing in disguise, so he can get some seasoning and come back to try again later (goal is 7th Group).
One of his biggest worries is something that I have told him repeatedly; if at all possible, stay out of conventional units. He is trying to figure out how to get to either a Ranger Bn. or into the 82nd RIP program, so he can stay with professionals that are trained and trustworthy.
I ask these questions to help him because, despite his size (boy is built like an Ox on steroids), he is like a little brother to me, and I want him with the best he can be with to watch his 6 and learn from.
Any advice, or a point of contact at JFK that I can point him towards?
Thank you all, any help is greatly appreciated!
