Best believe a Big Dick Squad mini-series is going to be put together.

Funny, I just got done with school as well, class 9-22, started 7-22. 2x Darby, 2x Mtns, and only 1 Florida thank God. Similar experiences here, thanks for sharing!
Congrats on making it through!
Love these stories , please keep them coming .Graduated out ofBenning in 1989( aged 25) . At the time I had bigger plans for myself( or so I thought) than just serving in the guard. Engagement, marriage , babies, have a way of altering your career trajectories. No regrets whatsoever. It ranks as the pivotal experience of my life, having encountered so many larger than Life individuals starting at fort Benning. Also, it has left me with a lifelong fascination for the military in general, and high-speed infantry in particular. Once again, so glad that somebody is finally representing the 75th on this platform!
I was a infantryman in the usmc, always heard good things about the 75 regiment and the few marines that I knew that got to go to ranger school said it was a tough school and wished more slots were open for us regular grunts. Love your channel bro
Thanks man!
Most Marines I know who went to Ranger School were Recon and Scout Snipers who held team leader positions or above (not always but common.) With the addition of MARSOC Raiders some of those guys are also going but like Army Special Forces, it's not mandatory.
@@shootingbricks8554 thanks for reply, true what you said all my fellow marines that had been to ranger school had at one time been in recon battalion except one sgt who got a slot as part of a reenlistment package
I appreciate this. I never got to experience anything like this. I was 11-Bravo , National Guard, air assault unit from 1983-1989. 1990, as a E-5, I got called up in support of Desert Storm. I was a alpha bradley fire team leader. All of us 11-bravos were converted to 11 - Mike. Because I was in college when I joined, I had a split option contract. BCT , 1984, Sand Hill. AIT, 1985, Harmony Church
I know in the 90's, the easiest way to get recycled or booted from that school for failing patrols was to come from Ranger regiment or SF. From what I hear from a friend who works there now, it is run much more professionally and is designed to be passed if you want to be there.
Definitely more professionally run nowadays
Guys from Ranger Regiment has the last laugh as they (Ranger Regiment) still have the highest graduation rates of any unit (conventional/special operations units) who send their troops to Ranger School.
@@shootingbricks8554 as they should. It'd be weird to come from RASP and being in RANGER REGIMENT, to fail something called RANGER SCHOOL
You’re definition of SURT was spot on! I went to 82d PRC in 2015 and we got absolutely wrecked! Numbers were like 5 grad from original 86+
14-87 / Darby Queen 1st or 2d obstacle was literally a log placed maybe a foot or so high- easy squeezy. Dude in front of me, running full speed, smacked the log dead center and down he goes with a tib-fib fracture. I immediately stop and render aid as tons of dudes are sprinting over the log. One of the cadre arrive and send me on my way.
I finish the course and am later pulled aside for a spot report. Major minus for stopping on the Darby Queen. I roger that but my inner voice was like WTF?? I start to move out when I’m called back. Same R.I then gives me a Major Plus for stopping to render aid. It’s a wash. Never leave a fallen comrade.
RLTW/DOL
Really highlights how silly that place can be sometimes
love your stories! C/CO 2/75 92-96. Ranger School Class 11-94... some things do not change. "back in the day" it was Darby (Benning), Desert (El Paso), Mountains (Dahlonega) & Swamp (Florida). It took me 5 months (June-October) I recycled Darby and Swamp. Went in weighing 220, graduated Ranger School at 160, not an exaggeration. wouldn't trade the experience for anything! RLTW!
That dude sitting on the boat was my PSG back in 1-22 IN days. Pretty awesome dude!🤘🏻
Literally had the same thing happen to me in Mountains. Last day I got an Assault 2 look and thought I was just put there to hook up the homies. Come to find out my ass needed the go 😅 glad I came across your channel . RLTW!
Hahahaha dude I think I was Assault 2 that day as well. We walked all damn night, got to the patrol base, and of course it started raining. While I was eating my morning MRE my roster got called and my stomach dropped lol.
Yes! This is the video I’ve wanted to see from your channel
DEFINITELY MORE CONTENT. I'd request gear videos. Your personal gear. Oh, and wear more velocity rugby short or long sleeves. Definitely love seeing lesser seen velocity systems.
You ought to do a video with Jake Zweig,hes got guys wanting to go Rangers that might have some misconceptions about the unit,i believe your insight(s) will help a lot of young men that strive to *get there* ..Thanks for the videos big dawg!
More BDS stories for sure brother,funny shit,gonna check that site out asap,rangers lead the way👊
No food, no sleep, going to work early, sounds like my childhood
Yes, incredible.
Hey man, love the videos, has really brought a lot of insight and expectations, quick question. I'm shipping out in a couple days to start basic then OSUT, currently pretty average for pt standards (14-16min 2mile, 35 pushups, 80 sit ups, etc). Will basic and OSUT prepare me for RASP 1 or should I try to add my own program on top of everything or would just busting my ass in basic be enough?
You will likely need to do extra PT during OSUT to bump those numbers up.
Similar experience last year. 2x Darby, 1x Mountains, 2x Florida. Hated every minute of it lol.
I graduated September 11, 1990!!!! Hooah
Rangers will always and forever lead the way
You ever think of doing instructional/field movement type of stuff? Mountain recce type of stuff?
I'm planning a Dahlonega trip in November, best believe there will be content from that
Awesome! I’m loving the channel man your gonna definitely blow up on here
During Desert Storm, I was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division. I carried the M-203. . I was discharged in April 1991. Appreciate you Ranger
Can you talk about guys going to Ranger school who are in their 30s? Stories or how they prepped, whatever
While in Ranger school, were their any NCO’s from battalion, visit any battalion ranger students for extra motivation?
No lol. They keep tabs on you from a distance, but you're basically dead to your platoon until you come back.
Ak rigs nice
Will desert phase ever come back?
It would be sick, but unlikely
Didn’t matter about recycling; you passed!
Any Marines in your class?
I also thought Rangers (regiment guys) weren’t allowed to recycle. So this is not true?
Nah we definitely can hahaha. Just can't fail. No, no Marines in my class but I did recycle with an Airforce Special Operations Weatherman. He was pretty cool
Bro it’s KALLFELZ!!! BDS ALL THE FUCKING WAY
YOOOOOOO BIG DICK SQUAD IN THE COMMENTS!!! LET'S GOOO did you see Long is a Florida RI now?
I did man , shit I’m currently at 4th
@@rkkal5431 dammnnn I feel like you've been there a hot minute now!
Would you get kicked out of battalion if you flunked ranger school?
I am not in Batt but I’m pretty sure you do get removed from what I hear from other Rangers yes
This is incredibly situationally dependent. Guys can fail for multiple reasons : patrols, peers, LOM(quit). If you quit ranger school you are most definitely getting RFS’d from regiment. If you fail patrols, but your platoon back home thinks highly of you, you might get another chance. This can change over time due to manning, the less need they have for guys in the line companies, the slimmer the chance of you having a second shot.
@@Abcdefg-bc3ts thanks. HOOAH!
@@devingale6628 thanks. HOOAH!
Usually yes. But it varies on a person to person basis
lol
