Becoming an Army Ranger

- I've remade this video due to mistakes i made in the original video that explained how soldiers become Army Rangers. So in this video i break down the different ways a soldier can become a ranger including how they can become a part of the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Dang it. Forgot to mention they also have pull ups that they have to do in Ranger school for their PT test. Oh well..... Do you think a soldier should be called a Ranger if they completed Range school or do you feel only those that are actually in the 75th Ranger Regiment should be called Rangers?
Christopher Chaos I saw a few officers with the Tab but were never in a Ranger Bat. Then again I met a Ranger from 2nd Bat 00-06 and he seemed indifferent when I asked him about it.
thank you for the corrections
Carlos Penuelas a ranger the is a trophy. A Ranger Scroll is a way of life. A tab means you are ra get qualified
Knowin quite a few Rangers myself. No just because you have a tab doesn’t mean you should go around saying you are a Ranger. Rangers who belong to the Regiment are Rangers. Yes the tab carries a lot of weight when it comes to leadership qualifications but don’t go saying you are special operations ranger bad ass high speed mo fo who kicks doors in and caps people. You could be a rear echelon fobbit and have a Ranger tab.
75th!
Ranger Tab is a Trophy
Ranger Scroll is a way of life.
i would agree.i was only a light fighter from Fort Ord. nebr was in a ranger unit my company mascot was " Bravo Rangers " B 5-21 INF but we was just light infantry pretending to be rangers. FAKE RANGERS UNITS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
I will do whatever I want! Go fuck yourself! 😁
@@miketurley8272 Fort ORd was in California was was shut down and we had 4th Battallion there. What the hell are you talking about MIke Turley. and . you were not in a ranger unit
Hooah
Yup.
Just got accepted to RASP. I leave feb 21st for FT. Benning
"Accepted"? Which RASP?
How did it go
I would also like to know how it went
update?
Pass?
Saw a guy in Ranger School Swamp phase start putting imaginary quarters in an imaginary pop machine. This is what happens when sleep deprivation
david wagner that story is at least 25 yrs old. Heard it when I was there in 96'
david wagner That exact thing happened in Ranger a training documentarie. Honestly I have memories of portions of 1st Phase that I remember in a weird 3rd person POV. Definitely alot of droning.
In RIP 3rd phase was alot more technical and leadership related training. Or at least after getting through 1st phase it definitely seemed like it.
I heard soldiers & ROTC cadets would chew on MRE coffee grounds to stay awake. Foot & leg injury DXed a lot of US Army Ranger school students. My 2nd MP Company CO/Captain was cut twice from Ranger School in his service career. He claimed it was injury but many MPs said it may of been his performance.
@@everythingjosiecando9283 david wagner LOL I heard the same story when i went through in winter class 4-82
When I was in Ranger School I would fantasize about two eggs over easy, chasing them down a hill and never catch them. I lost about 40 pounds.... 1/75 RLTW
Hello, I was curious if I could still qualify to be in ranger regiment but also get to leave once my four year or whatever I choice contract had ended. Will they kick you out if you don’t plan on staying there forever?
Kirk Patrick B co as well 3rd platoon RLTW
Biggest secret to passing ranger school. Be as fat as you can while being able to run 5m under 40 min.
The true secret... just don't stop
Also when doing the pt test get to the front of the line especially on push ups. When they start to get towards the end and already have a bunch of people who passed they will fail people on push ups for improper form because they don't want the class sizes too big. I watched a guy do about 100 push ups but 60 weren't "done properly" and they dropped him.
Simon 3 yes that's true. My 1SG was a victim of that.
done, i drink 4 sero calories energy drinks everyday, im broke.
@Lee Francis Actually it was "we do more before 9 am than most people do all day".
Ahhhh, now i see the difference between the two rangers. I've always been confused between the 75th regiment and the ones with the ranger tab but not a 75th regiment
there isn't alway a place to send rangers where they can use the training. if we are not at war somewhere then we are just highly trained gym rats.
People think Rangers are somehow less "Elite" because RASP is just 8 weeks. People Compare BUD/S and say how its much longer but forget Rangers have already have done AIT/BCT for 15 weeks then 3 weeks of Airborne then pre RASP of 3 weeks and then 8 weeks RASP. Thats 29 weeks from start if enlistment to Ranger Battalion which at that point the training to be a Ranger just begins. You don't just get to stay a Ranger because you passed RASP. Many will be RFSD. Rangers are pipe hitters
What does the H18 Army code means in special forces. I have that code, I never really understood the true meaning of it?
+SmithN' Wesson
The 75th pick the best of the best and it is sink or swim environment. How long it takes to created these types of soldiers is really irrelevant.
SmithN' Wesson But the seals army equivalent is not the rangers it would be the green berets
@@frankcastle5285 there's really not an equivalent. I would say that Green Berets are generally trained to a higher degree than seals, but not seal team 6, who people often compare to Delta Force... Honestly though all the dudes are incredibly badass men!
Civis and non combative members of the military can say what they want, but ultimately the training isn't really any harder, physically ay least. When you're sleep deprived, you barely know what's going on and you feel like you're dying the entire time. All of those guys would tell you the same thing... Just don't quit
Chris, thank you for your service. 10+ years in the Regiment and I will say your info is spot on for the most part. The term “Army Ranger” or “Airborne Ranger” is for those who serve in the Regiment. Ranger school grads are “Ranger qualified”. Great Army videos. RLTW!!
sub!
Hi I see that you were a ranger and i was wondering if you had any advice on getting through BCT and ranger school I'm 17 and am putting a few things together before I head to the recruiter office in a few months or at the end of my senior year, also thank you for your service
Usually what they ask when you go to SFAS is are you Ranger qualified or a qualified Ranger
@@anakinskywalker9594 did you make it
@@anakinskywalker9594 update?
Do Rangers get respected or are they disrespected all the time by Ncos and Staff Ncos like a 11B? I’m in The Marine Corps and I hate the way they treat us at times. The Air Force and Navy have it good honestly ❤
Thank you so much, I am an option 40 private shipping to basic July 9th. This is the most clear explanation I've gotten outside of a recruiter.
What did you score on your ASVAB
I scored a 128 in my AFQT and 110 plus in line scores.
Did you make into the regiment?
Let me explain why a Tab doesnt make you a Ranger over a Scroll. The Ranger Tab is a leadership school. When you go to RIP (when I was in) or RASP (now). RIP was a gut check to see if you would quit based on stress and if you can think while being stressed out and lack of sleep. This is essential for a Ranger. Once you get to Bat you learn how to be a Ranger with real world training. You do EVERYTHING they do in Ranger school. You go on a list for Ranger school once you get to Bat. This list is determined by your performance in Bat and either after you do boards to become protomable then you get the school (again leadership school). By the time you get there everything in RNger school is second nature to a Ranger. In some cases it is looked at as vacation from Bat to be at "school". Its a bit like have an active duty soldier go back to basic after 2 years in active duty. So being a Ranger with a scroll is very different from being taught Ranger leadership tactics. I hope this helps. Life in Bat is very different than life in regular Army. I hope that helps. Not trying to nit pic just explaining why you are not viewed as a Ranger unless you wear the scroll.
Thanks for the outstanding explanation. My name's Chris Riley the email is mom's Long story. Regardless Sir my Asvab placed me as a 19 D Cavalry Scout. Would my .M O S help me on the path to one day digging deep since day 1 to one day be a 75th Ranger Regiment possibly what would you suggest? Sir
So much of the confusion between being Ranger Qualified (the tab) and being a Ranger (scroll) could be cleared up by renaming Ranger School to something else. Everyone's agreed that both are tough and both provide the intended training. But they are not the same thing.
Actually, to qualify to be assigned to a Ranger Battalion "The Scroll" you must first complete the School. Not sure if they make the clerks do it or not, but I am sure they do. I am a bit out of date.
@@WaltMartin
The school is not a requirement of being in the 75th. It is a leadership course and those that are leadership roles within the 75th would have to go to rangers school.
Thank you very much for making this information clear and available for all see. (Love watching your videos).
WOW. Thank you very kindly appreciate your service, thank you for giving me a idea of what the army would want me to know about them. I-am disabled now, to old , really would have been part of the military service if I could have had the chance. Those men who have the right mind set , to make it to the top.

Thank you for the info man, it really helped
If you are Airborne qualified you will jump into Florida phase, if not enjoy a bus ride and nap.
went through in the Corp,only marine in the class,those dudes impressed the hell outta me,75th or not ,u earn that tab u have my respect!
Rangers actually started in Vermont back in the 1700s.
If I had a Ranger tab, I'd say I was "Ranger Qualified" or had attended Ranger school but if someone called me a "Ranger" I would not be mad. I'd add that some combat veterans: 11Bs did get "Ranger" tabs by being attached to Ranger units in combat then serving with honor or bravery. COL David Hackstraw a former military writer & Army veteran served in Korea. He got a Ranger tab that way. I think WWll had soldiers go directly into Ranger units too but I may be wrong.
+DL
There would still have been training requirements in that era. In WW2 they may have recruited non serving straight in but they would have been required to do training.
I am sure people who served with them in a support capacity may have by way of battle experience been accepted in but that would have been very rare.
Subbed cause you caught my attention!
Every time I hear the very first few sentences of the video, I think, “Yes I have,” because I’ve watched this video like 5 times.
Can you talk about the army Special Force too.
The ranger regiment is the army special force

Spencer Green Welcome to the family. Stay motivated and focused. What MOS did you choose?
RASP was called RIP in my day lol I/m a old head
Me too, 97
Me too 4/81
Chris can you do a video comparing marines and the army
When I was in to get to a Ranger Battalion I had to make it through RIP ( Ranger Indoctrination Program) and the Ranger course had 4 phases. Desert phase at the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. No, you're not a true Ranger unless your home was in the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2 nd Battalion to be exact. 😎 and we ( the 75th) were the only ones that wore black berets!
Ya RIP later was reclassified as RASP.
Jeffrey Lillibridge C'mon now Ranger, you learned the Ranger heritage just like I did. Do you remember the essay you wrote in that nice warm classroom with the lights low, while you were on your 5th or 6th day of averaging 1.5 hours of sleep per day and hungry enough to eat your eraser and ask for seconds. I'll never forget it "You all know the Ranger Heritage. Tell me what it means to be a Ranger. Close a fuckin eye and you might as well go on to bed because I'll make sure you aren't selected even if you finish RIP". I know my fortitude and quasi hallucination based essay didn't come from the thoughts of kitted out Special Operations Rangers (even us ass kicking, pussy getting 2nd Btn badasses) it was the Rangers who took out the guns atop the cliffs of Normandy even though the Intel was shit and they had to go find them in the dark with only their guts and a hunch to guide them kliks through Nazi infested terrain and take out those guns and they did, why because they HAD to, if those pieces had been active D-day flops, and we never get a foothold unto the mainland. So what's a Ranger? Is it really a Reg or is it someone who proven that no matter what it takes they will drive on until the mission is complete, make an INDEPENDENT decision and eat what ever shit is necessary to follow through on that decision and complete the mission even if the decision is wrong you will fuckin push until it works. A Ranger is someone who has proven that he can and will make a decision and make that decision work no matter what and the Tab is his Brand.
Happened upon the video screwing around the tubes.. neat. I have read the comments and seen different people argue for the position Rangers with the Tab are Rangers too. I am sorry, but being Ranger Qualified is different than being in the Regiment. One is a Special Operations Soldier that is specifically schooled for the missions and operations within the RGT and the other is Ranger Qualified, the premium sign of leadership in almost any unit. YOU can both claim the title Ranger, very few will say different, but a Ranger is one who is or was stationed in the 75th Ranger RGT. You can be a Ranger and never have gone to Ranger school .You can go to Ranger school and never be a Batt Boy. Now keep in mind the school pre-dates the RGT. The issue here is that a Tab is a qualifier "tab", the Scroll a way of life. It was not always the case. There was a time where the Tab was all there was and if you were tabbed, you were almost never called out by your rank but by the Honorific "Ranger." How do I know this? Google. Actually we had a few Vietnam Rangers in my unit when I first got there, before I ever even considered trying to get a slot in the school or going to the RGT. Hell you had to go through a local RIP to even be considered for a school slot and it only got worse you had another RIP and after that if you got accepted into the RGT.. well Ranger school was easier than a day in the RGT and comabt was easier than Ranger school. ... in a later unit we had a few Rangers, that never went to the school, but served in the RGT I would love to see someone tell them they were not Rangers because they wre not tabbed. Tabbed or not if they served in the RGT or they went to the school, they have a right to claim Ranger, but there is a difference that is only important to certain people. I am no longer in the miitary and have been out well over 30 years and the black and gold still holds true.
Damien South hi, this is off topic, but would you be able to give me some information on being in the rangers and answer some of the questions I have about the regiment? I havent been able to find someone who was in the rangers and I am planning on enlisting within the next 2 years and wanted to know how I could start preparing for it. Thanks.
Lead the way Soldier.
Has a Army Ranger attached with a 509 in the Northern Italy 70s I love my veteran Brothers cousin is a Navy Seals had Marines Air Force and my son Coast card rescue swimmer and my uncles as Air Force pilots I'm proud is served this nation I know my training in the 70s it's nothing like today these guys are true Warriors thank you
Can I qualify to be a ranger, and still get to leave once my contract is over
Batt Boys! Lol... in my era, 1990s, late 1980s, the Chief of Staff, DA restricted US Army Ranger school to Combat Arms MOSs only. I think it changed back to all officers, ROTC, enlisted, in the late 1990s. I'd add that in my time, Navy SEALs, Scout Snipers-ForceRecon, AFSOC, SAS, JTF2, could attend Ranger School.
My tip for Ranger school, prepare as your life depends on it. Try to prepare for a few weeks doing exercises with the less sleep as possible and do daily task while been smoked and food deprived. Thereafter gain as much weight as possible but only use gain weight shakes because are lean fat. It worked for me in '95
Nothing Like That 75😤
Thanks for this video because I want to be a Ranger officer and get the tab and join the regiment
When I was in the 2/75 Rangers back in the late 80s and early 90s
A enlisted soldier didn't have to salute a officier if he wasn't tab out. Officier hated it.
Even if you were speaking to someone that isn't more than passingly familiar with the Army saying you are (or were) a Ranger would strongly imply you're serving (or did) with the 75th. I'm not knocking anyone that's been through Ranger school, it's not an easy thing to get through. But getting the tab alone doesn't make you a Ranger. Just like going to medical school doesn't make you a medical doctor if you elect not to take your licensing exams and practice medicine.
You are wrong. A graduate of Ranger school is a Ranger. The 75th RR is a SOF unit, but the term "Ranger" existed long before they were established. Service in the Ranger regiment or being a graduate of the Ranger course makes you a Ranger, simple as that. We have always considered our Ranger qualified soldiers as "Rangers" and service in the 75th never mattered, nor should it.
Para will you are absolutely correct. I earned my Ranger Tab and became a Ranger and remained 82nd for 16 months until an NCO slot became available in 2nd Btn, upon receiving my new orders I became a Special Operations Ranger. The only thing that changed were my orders (and my kit, Hooah). If you apply that logic in reverse, would a POG attached to a Ranger Company in a support compasity for a deployment, be a Ranger? They do receive Ranger kit and their DD214 will show they deployed as part of said company. The Tab makes a Ranger, Not the orders.
So everyone that does their 5 jumps, regardless of never serving in an airborne unit, is airborne correct?
Umm... YES, considering AB is a qualification and the last time a AB Infantrymen jumped into an active combat zone was WW2... Id say that the 5 Static line jumps you do actually overly prepares you for the needs of the modern Infantrymen when it comes to actually jumping into combat, 1 time is enough to concur any doubts but that would literally be taking away the easiest and funnest part of AB school if we didn't get a 5 jump minimum. AB school has very very little to do with the act of jumping and a whole lot to do with making you a better Infantrymen, an Infantrymen that's been trained on engaging and destroying targets behind enemy lines with minimal equipment, even less support and a whole lot of tactics and balls. "They have us surrounded, boy are they fucked." NEXT
I've been there and done it man. The training is physically and in most ways mentally harder than combat. I'm a Grunt, the only thing I don't love about combat is that sometimes shit heads we are killin get in a lucky shot.
While at Ft. Lewis are barrack was down the street from the 75th, I was Signal not A Ranger but those dudes were cool as heck we supported them in a lot of their training exercises and I thought we worked hard building towers etc. they did PT and everything in the field .
Ranger School: also known as 62 Days of Hell.
My goal
Can you do a video on the Nightstalkers?
The one female within RGR RGT is an officer and an intel officer at that. She did "pass" RASPII but she does not have her tab which is a requirement for all officers and NCO's wanting to go to RASP I or II. She will have 18 months to attend RGR School but I don't know if she will. She is a good annalist however and that is whats needed.
"She is a good annalist however and that is whats needed". I can see there is going to be trouble in the head shed on this one.
@@ernestpaul2484
She is an officer not a member of the 75th. There is also now a special training course for officers. She will not be in the battle field leading teams.
@@bighands69 u missed the joke.
@@ernestpaul2484
I thought it was inappropriate to describe a serving member of the US military in that fashion so I ignored it.
So if you are a seargent and you go to rasp, would you also have to attend ranger school? Since you have to have it to rank up to seargent would it be different joining as one already?
Can you do one with 160th SOAR? Night stalkers
Is it better to do option 40 or just do infantry and try out for rasp later? I heard that failing raasp with the option 40 means they stick you anywhere but without you just go back to infantry.
Go for the OP 40 contract. There is a very slim chance your squad will let you leave for RASP. They would need to waiver you first and they usually dont like to lose members.
Yo wtf, I kinda consider joining the Rangers now all of a sudden this shot pops up all over my recommendations lol
Is the ranger school available to all mos? Also does the combatives course count as a tab like the airborne school? I've been considering taking all three courses if possible but mostly interested in airborne school and the combatives course.
RASP=Ranger
I went to ranger school in Phan Rang Vietnam in 1969. It was 8 weeks of weapons training, heavy weapons and small unit tactics in the jungle. there was training from shotgun to shoulder fired grenades to mortars to hand to hand. they skipped the pushups, the rolling around in mud, the hanging from wires. We were to go back to our units and train up others. We did get attacked, but the war was over for us. I can't imaging taking all that training in the states and then no war to go to.
You should do a video on Airborn
Its on my list along with a few other Army schools. Not sure when ill get to it though. Thanks for watching!!!!
Swore in 88mic option 40 Airborne Ranger last month! Reception starts January 8th! Wish me luck and send out a prayer or two! Always been my dream to serve in the Army as a Ranger! Thank you to everyone that has served! HOOAH!
How do you get those options as an 88M? I want to go in as 88M as well but how do you get both air school and ranger options?
4 Yrs later How u doin now? What’s going on. Hope u passed RASP
Can you apply to becoming a Ranger right into your military career without serving a previous MOS?
Is there an age minimum or is it still 18?
Is there an enlistment minimum?
Thank you!
The age cut off last I remember was 35. 75th can be your first duty assignment if you make it through.
My cousin was in the 75th Rangers, he told me about how he jumped out of a helicopter with his squad but for some reason he missed the LZ and landed on the roof of an enemy building, he couldn't get to his rifle in time he could only get to his hand gun so he had it out trained on where the enemy was coming from and when the enemy rounded the corner he just dropped as the hillside behind him lit up with gunfire from his squad. If I were to have seen something like that I think it would have broken me to the point where I would never leave the Army, just to make sure someone else doesn't get broken like that in my place.
I like Rangers, an elite Special Mission Unit and is able to be deployed anywhere around the world within 18 hours of notification.
do they still use divisions in military like they did in ww2?
A recruiter at my station who deployed with the Rangers (he's a 10th Mountains Infintry guy) said there's 3 thirds to being a Ranger.
A 1/3rd Ranger is someone who's Ranger qualified (been through Ranger school)
A 2/3rds Ranger is Ranger qualified & passed RASP, and is part of the regiment.
A full 3/3 Ranger is a qualified Ranger who is in the regiment who has deployed with them.
What if you pass RASP and haven't been to Ranger School yet?
For thos of you asking ranger tab is different from the 75th scroll
I’m 80-years-old and in a nursing home. Can I become...
Who are you?
heck yea todd go for it.
Ago for it tod
I went to Pre-Ranger when I was 38. I was older than the 1SG who was senior enlisted. I end up not making it. Very exhausting course.
Special operations is a young man's game.
Can you do a video on Sapper School?
Wait so do you have to do ranger school first then do RASP or could you just go straight to RASP without ranger school?
Do you think size is consequential to becoming a Ranger? I'm around 5'6 and weight 155-160 pounds.
Don’t know if I should go as enlisted or officer
I have a 11x option 4 contact. Not option 40. @Christopher Chaos do you know if I will still be able to attend RASP? 75 Ranger regiment? Thanks for the help!
Option 4 is just airborne as you may know. But, The Ranger Cadre will be at basic training looking for the alphas who stand out. It's then, when they see what you are made of and they'll offer u a chance to come to RASP. Just don't stop.
@@user-ev1tp6zg8q When do you ship buddy. I go to Fort Benning in July.
Noah Stockstill August 20th
Airborne is still elite so getting through that will be your first task.
You forgot about Darby phase . There are three phases
I can do the 49 push ups and 59 sit ups in 2 minutes and 30 seconds and I'm definitely not the most fit so I'm assuming that 5 mile is definitely a killer
Running and marching are the hardest things, yes. Even for very fit runners its a challenge
Can you please make a video about green berets please. Thank you
It’s coming soon.
If you earn the Ranger tab and don’t go to RASP you’re still a badass. You can’t discredit earning a Ranger tab just because the soldier doesn’t go to RASP.
Anthony Abila no your not a badass it's a leadership school that all military units can go to. And they're letting chicks in it now and dropping the standards. The chicks failed the first phase three times which has never been done and not been dropped so you tell me do you think they were pushed through
culleyctc08 chicks can go to ranger school but they dont get pick for the 75th regiment
My uncle was a tabbed Ranger. And he's one of the most bad ass guys I've ever met. I consider him a Ranger. HOOAH
@@culleyctc08
Ranger school would still be tough as hell.
what is the current tattoo policy for the 75th? last i heard guys from batt with tattoos got kicked out
Erik Arteaga no, you can have tattoos in any military branch or MOS, just has to follow the principal guidelines
Erik Arteaga im not sure of the current policy but when I left 2nd Btn in 2005 you couldn't have anything that would show while in BDUs or Class A's however they could show in Class B's.
Rangers are known for our "Why is that important and could it be done better differently even if it means being unconventional and not completely straight laced." mindsets and that allows for a little wiggle room on certain regs just because that mindset often comes with a slight tendency to push regs to the limit just because. Granted I've been out of the Bat for 13 years.
Not necessarily,but they didn't care to much for it.
Hey Christopher would about the asvab do you have to have a high score or does that not apply to the ranger school?
You have to at least score a 50 on the ASVAB with a GT score of 110.
is it possible to go from the Marines into Ranger school then RASP and ultimately the 75th? Delta is my goal but I need to be SF and Rangers seems like my kinda thing
i think you can go to ranger school but definitely not rasp or 75th as a Marine
I don't think so. I was a Marine and my brother has been a recon Marine for a few years. Hes obviously airborne qualified and hes been to sniper school but not ranger school. If he could he would dude is crazy. Your best bet is to just go army
Can you still become a ranger if you only attend rasp 1 instead of ranger school and rasp 1?
Completing RASP 1 will make you a Ranger.
How long would a contract be for the rangers or just the army in general, my plan so far is to be in the 75th and then possibly try for special forces

Both Rangers and Special forces are special operations. They are both elite. One is not higher than the other. Sometimes people in the Rangers will transfer over to special forces.
It is not a career path to go to 75th and then to Special forces. Just as it is not a career path to go from special forces to delta.
They are all highly elite and one is not better than the other.
I am a former Ranger from the 1/75th. This is back when we still wore our full color stumpy scrolls on our cammies, 78'/79' time period. A Ranger is one who serves in a Ranger Bn. or now a days, in the Ranger Regt. A Ranger qualified soldier is one who has successfully completed Ranger School and is authorized to wear the Ranger Tab. The Regt. Ranger is an individual who may or may not be Ranger School qualified, yet. I say "yet" because most individuals serving in a Ranger unit are normally Ranger qualified before leaving the Regt. You may have left the Ranger Regt. and still not Ranger qualified, but you were still a Ranger during your time there. However, once you leave you are no longer a Ranger in an operational sense. Being Ranger qualified is validation that you have/had the leadership ability to command a team of soldiers in missions who were just as physically spent and mentally exhausted as you were during your time in the barrel and to complete the missions at hand. The Ranger Tab is a leadership tab. The Ranger scroll is a unit designation patch. They are two different animals and should be treated as such. RGR CLS 8-79, RI 85'/88'.
i am 13 and have always wanted to join the army is there anything i can do now to be better off when joining?
You're not kicked out if you're peered twice, at least not 10 years ago. You are/were "day 1'd" and have to start over at the beginning, which sucks because its an attrition (cough, leadership) school.
Well if u wanna be a chair born ranger you gotta make it thru six weeks of basic or maybe 8 now. U won't get a ranger tab but just a comfortable chair with wheels. It's not like special ops but it is air conditioned and you can take a long lunch and go to the base gym once a week.
You should do a video on the ISA otherwise know as Intelligence Support Activity. Also know as The Activity or Taskforce Orange. They do RECON and Intelligence gathering for J-SOC. They are located at Ft. Bolivar VA. They also work with S.A.D. No one really knows who and how many make up the ISA.
Good luck on finding the strength and makeup of ISA. Details and specifics on that unit are strongly guarded like Delta and SAD.
There is a book titled Killer Elite which is about ISA and JSOC. The ISA command structure is even classified.
Are there "Ranger Pilots" or do they get flown by regular army pilots?
160th SOAR
No ranger pilots. Rangers will fly with conventional units, 160th SOAR, and even the Air Force.
No because rangers are foot soldiers not aviation soldiers they fly with regular pilots......I think
@Kirk Patrick What's up KP? Everything has been going pretty good. How about yourself?
@Kirk Patrick Lol, I know what you mean. This pandemic has been a bit rough. I usually check the comments on videos like this from time to time and try to answer some questions if I can.
You also have to complete pre ranger before you can attend ranger school. There are some units who run this course. In regiment its 3 weeks and you go to the next class. My pre ranger class ended and the next day was day one a ranger school. Being tabbed does not make them a ranger, it .makes the tabbed or ranger qualified.
Once you finish a contact with the regiment can you re-enlist as 31Delta?
I suppose you could if you wanted but that is not an MOS in the Rangers so you would be leaving the Rangers to be CID.
Ranger school sounds a lot like something we have in the British army. We've got P Company which gives you the airborne parachute qualification but it doesn't make you a Paratrooper. So I'd agree that you're only a Ranger once you're in the 75th just like you aren't a Para in Britain until you're in the parachute regiment.
Exactly
That moment when christopher knows more than a recruiter
Hi I have MEPS in 3 days and a reservation on an 11x with a $20,000 bonus but no option 40. Should I try to get the option 40? I want to go to Rangers and 11x is my fallback in case I don't make RASP the first time.
Trying to get a 13 f with option40 as well
Ok who would go thru and complete Ranger School and then not become Ranger's? What would be the benefit?
Rangers not Ranger's. Typing error.
Infantry officer often do it because it’s an advanced leadership school that is good experience for officers in the infantry.
Michael Harrell ranger school is a preparation for becoming a ranger. Completing ranger school does make you a ranger
If you find yourself commanding Army Rangers or working with them you know what is expected to get the beret you have to be in the 75th though
My dad worked with a girl who passed ranger school and I met her she doesn't seem better than normal but shes badass
As an old Instructor of "Florida Phase" I would love the see the original. LOL
And, FYI, by the time the Soldiers got to "Florida Phase" most of them were 'Zombies'. Rather comical sometimes. And, I got much love for the Rangers, they were the first unit to ever save my ass in a deployment, at the Airfield in Granada. It was ugly, but they were good. Lead on Rangers.
Do combatmedic have to go through rangers Training also
It’s confusing to anyone who hasn’t served. Let me pose this question though. Say someone is assigned to 75th and then later leaves and they never attended RS. The scroll leaves their shoulder. Are they still a Ranger as you suggest whereas the person with a tab isn’t? By the way, much of what you covered in RASP was also in Ranger school, but I went a long time ago... Interesting vid.
It depends on why they left. Guys leave the regiment for a variety of reasons. ETS, RFS, medical discharge/retirement, hiatus from deployments (with prewritten orders to return), etc are all fairly common reasons why people leave. My take is that Rangers serve in the regiment and the school is a school. The reason why is because Ranger units far predated Ranger School.
If an officer Graduates Rasp 2 do you get your tan beret as well
Yes. But an officer will also have to attend Ranger school as well since it’s required for NCOs and officers.
Spc. Devin James Kuhn 24, A Co. 2/75 was killed in a training accident. He is survived by his wife and parent's.

david wagner it is sad that I know couple of people who know him personally.
RIP Specialist Kuhn
Do a video about how to become part of Delta Force
Nobody knows how to do that. It is wrapped in Mystery. Nobody even knows what the selection process is.
Is it just different paths to take? Can you go to ranger school after rasp? Or before?
You can go before or after. If you go to RASP and get selected then you have to go to Ranger school before you get promoted to E5.
you also left out that you have to go to airborne school before you go to rasp
I had that in the first version of this video but then I got some comments from people saying that there are cases where you can go after so I just left it out since there is apparently some grey area.
They were talking about Ranger School, to attend RASP, one must be Airborne qualified.. if a Option 40, one would go to 11x OSUT, Airborne School then RASP. In Ranger School those who aren’t Airborne Qualified are typically tasked with LZ duties during jumps.
You can not go to RASP until your Airborne qualified. Part of the end of the first phase of RASP is jumping into Cole -at night. No AB tab no jumpy. Not grey at all.
So to join the 75th you go to bct than ait than all ranger have to be airborne ? Than do you have to go to ranger school or do you skip that and go to rasp
you have to be airborne for the 75th. You go to RASP first to try and get in and you have to do ranger school before you become an NCO or if you are an officer.
If you count basic training and osut and all the schools that you have to go to be on the Rangers regiment, about how many weeks would it be?
About 50 weeks in total
Whats the security clearance difference between to, or is there even one? The regiment of course has to execute missions, the other doesn't, does that matter?
Skyler McMurray I just went through MEPS and swore in as a 25P Option 40.
I had to go through a secret security interview. I’m not sure if that was for the 75th or for my MOS though.
Tab will get you farther than the scroll, only go for regiment if you prefer their way of fighting wars, if not, stay in big army n get your tab
can you try to go for it right out the bat? or do you have to be in the army for years
If you get option 40 in your contract you go to RASP after OSUT or after AIT.
So once you become a full on ranger what is a normal work day like?
Well that all depends on what battalion you get stationed at, your MOS, and leadership. But generally it's safe to say that you come in at 5 a.m. for PT and work until at least 1600 or 1700.
Wasn't the mountain phase in Colorado? Or did they change it when they got rid of the desert phase?
I’m not aware of it ever being in Colorado but I’m not 100% sure.
ed salisch the Colorado Mountain School does train military units for mountain operations, but the Rangers themselves train in Camp Merill in Georgia. The Colorado School is more for mountain rescue and survival and is in fact not run by the military
