no prior service 18x contracts

[nukem]

I just talked to a recruiter today and I was told that they are not currently offering 18x contracts to prior service. He told me that I would need to go through AIT as a 18b, volunteer for airborne, then volunteer for SF.

After looking through the PT charts that I had him print up it looks like I all ready meet the minimum requirements, I think they should be raised I haven't worked out seriously in 6 years. Regardless though I still want too hit 300 in the 18- 21 group before I put on a uniform; there's no half ass~ing something like this.

Even though I took my last asvab 11 years ago I guess it carries over and he told me with an overall of 87 I should be fine.

Anyway, do you think that I should just sign up for infantry and go that route once I'm back in shape or should I wait for 18x to open back up? I'm worried that if there are not enough slots open that I may not be allowed into airborne or SOPC and end up stuck with infantry. If there are no 18x contracts available then I can only assume those courses are packed full.
