Well- this may indicate how long since I've been informed, but back when I went through some 'Army training' (courtesy of the Navy), you had to be selected for Rangers- not something a recruiter could promise up front. I could, and probably am, wrong.

That's what I thought too but the Army must have made changes I looked over my son contract and it listed as 11 Xray AIT after basic training then on to Airborne jump school then last Ranger School which he will ahve to pass,I feel sure he can do it he is 6'3" and 200lbs at 17 yrs.strong as a ox he pushes my Ventura like a tonka toy.He does chin ups in a tree and runs all the time along with push ups and sit ups.

congrats.
I did the same thing when I was seventeen. I just graduated in June and I leave for ft.Jackson in august. I wish I would have waited to sign up because they are offering some good jobs and benefits right now. My only advice is for him not to slack off his last year in school. I started doing that because I wanted to have "fun" while I was still here. I graduated but just remember to keep his head in the game until he graduates.
