Hi all,
I'd just like to update and reinforce some of the info in here since I've been in AIT. The DQ'ing factor wasn't my PRK in and of itself, it's the fact that I had a waiver of any sort that precluded me from getting an Abn stamp while at MEPS. I am 4 weeks out from graduating as a 68w and have loved it so far. I have a high pt and high gpa and had the opportunity to apply for both Abn or Ranger because of it. Slots are very limited at this point in time, as I believe there were only 15 Abn slots and about the same amount of Ranger slots available. However I had received my orders for my next duty station to be in Korea, so I am choosing to explore that area of the world and learn a little more before I put in a packet for SFAS.
To those who aren't able to get Abn at MEPS, it's at least very possible to get it as an IET soldier at 68w school; I can't speak for the rest. Abn is pretty backed up though from what I understand, and Ranger as well; we have some holdovers who have been here waiting for their Abn to start for awhile. Good luck to all, and thank you all again for the resource that is this board, as I have not regretted any decision I've made and I have been blessed with a great experience thus far.
