Paladin D Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hey Pham, I am now, as of today, officially in the Delayed Entry Program for the U.S. Army. I will be shipping out July 21st to start my Basic training at Ft. Benning, GA. I enlisted as a 11x (Infantry) with an Option40 contract (Airborne Ranger). After 1 1/2 years of paperwork and confusion, I finally got my foot in the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 That's great. Make sure you go to all your meetings, and get your book signed. That puts you further up for promotion out of boot camp. Read all the fine print. My dad always said that medals are great, but stripes you can spend. He also said Corcoran makes the best jump boots.

Paladin D Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thanks guys. It's a dream that I've been fighting for, and now finally got it (just hope I don't injure myself or anything before I ship out).
