Need Advice Please.

[BeauG]

Hello,

My name is Beau and I am 17 at Seneca High School in Louisville, Ky. Im am a Jr. and I am in MCROTC and I am also on the Wrestling team. I have dreamed of being in the military my enitre life, its all I want in the world. My major goal in life is to be in CAG. I know that you can't enlist for this unit, they chose you. So my plan (was) to do the 18x contract. But recently the enlistment age has gotten changed from 18-20, so thats out of the question. After that happend I looked into 11x Option 40 (Ranger Contract), which this looks like a great path to take to, I would go to Basic, Ait, Airborne, RIP, by the time all this was over I would be around 19-20, then I could put an application in for SF.
Being in MCROTC I am constantly harrased about wanting to join the Army. They say the Marines are the best way to go, and to go Force Recon. But I am worried that if I went Recon then I wouldnt have a short at my Dream (CAG). I know CAG recruits from Seals, Rangers, SF, Recon, but they mostly rect. from Ragners and SF. I was just wondering if you all could help compare these two units, not which is better. Aslo if you could give me your advice on what you would do in my situation.

Thanks, Beau Gadegaard
