Question
I am a prior marine with one njp. Joined army 11x haven't shipped to wtc yet but I was wondering if the njp would disqualify me for jump and ranger school. The njp was for "suposedly" falsifying a doctors note on a return to work date... The bs is --- I was back at my unit three days BEFORE the date!
My CO showed me the "falsified" document and the "true" one the doc faxed to the unit
again I was back three days before the true date!
My CO constantly gave me a hard time for whatever reason..
I hope to hell I can do this... I WANT TI BE A RANGER
Your company grade NJP shouldn't factor into anything when you joined the Army, so it shouldn't play a factor into your attempts at both ranger and jump schools. I doubt it even carries over from the Marines so just be a good Soldier, and work to get into both schools.. you shouldn't have much issue with jump school but may have to re-enlist to get Ranger school.
