Don't mean to travel out of my lane....but was just wondering when they opened up Option 40 contracts to Females? ...

Option 40 is not Ranger school. It's a contract for assignment to Ranger Regiment, which no females.

and no, females are still not authorized to attend Ranger school.

I read it after the fact. Your answer was on target.

DA offered to let my family go as part a 58 day family get together, but we turned them down as we had no one to watch the pets. It is to bad as my wife was really physced about getting matching ranger tab tatoos once she graduated.

I saw some pics of the Ranger wives going through the Darby Queen on a wives day thing.
I think that will be as close as it gets.

yeah 5th did a similar thing as well but I was pregnant at the time so I coul dnot participate...

I had deleted two other post on this thread because the original poster and myself hashed things out on the medic side of the house.

Maybe a misunderstanding maybe someone who was HOOAH about recently enlisting who knows...I sometimes fly off the handle lol.
