They can slot you as an 11B and send you to airborne school, which is about 4 weeks long at Benning. If you want to go SF then you're talking about upwards of 2 years of active duty just for training. If you make it, then kiss your family and job bye-bye for awhile due to the high op-tempo. ARNG out of Natick Labs somewhere. |
