Deciding on Schools

[KJ6986]

Hello All,

Im a college student in the SMP program and have been offered schools through both my Guard unit and ROTC. None of these options are "a sure thing" yet I need to know which one to push for.

1. Ranger (My Guard unit tells me they can get me the slot yet, they have promised me things before and sometimes they don't pan out.)

2. Sapper (My school has one slot and I'm confident a can aquire it.)

3. Accelerated arabic training (If I select this training I will need to miss some of my school semester, and be forced to take only 12 college hours as flex courses. I have been studying Arabic for two years and can read, write and speak okay, and think an immersian course will help me become fluent so I can start working on learning Farsi.)

I guess my main question is what's more important walking into my first unit with a a tab and some experience or being fluent instead of "just pretty good at speaking Arabic".

Last comment I need make before anyone spends time helping me with my decision. I cracked a rib and tore an abdominal muscle yesterday so I will not be able to train physically for at leat 6-8 weeks which will give me about 2-3 months to prepare. I believe I'm mentally prepared and know I would never vw and currently Im in peak shape minus rib and I believe I can bounce back quickly.

Thank You All for the assistance.
