    Tips for becoming a Ranger
    Don't ever quit anything on any day
    Master push-ups pull-ups and situps
    Be able to run fast and up to 7 miles
    Be able to walk up to 30 miles with weighted pack. 15 minutes per mile is the standard.
    Learn land navigation. At night it is difficult. Practice!
    Avoid anything that can injure you like the plague.
    Keep quiet and listen to instructions. Ask questions
    Prepare mentally for doing things you don't think you can do. You will do things you don't think is possible.
    Be humble

    I never served in the military. I was accepted to Army OCS but right out of college I went into the US Peace Corps and to the island of Mindanao, Philippines.
    Later as a Nordic ski patroller I trained US Army ROTC cadets in winter survival. One hour of classroom and one overnight tactical op/bivouac in the winter. We inserted with Chinook choppers. As the instructor I went with them (me on skis, them on Army snowshoes) to both evaluate and be the EMT if needed. I carried a Ski Patrol radio and could call for an ambulance and snowmobile for extraction via the Patrol toboggan we hauled in to the bivouac with us. The poor cadets had to haul that toboggan, loaded with community gear.

      Prepping for any SOF selection is good, but as long as you meet the entry requirements for that Selection course, you’ll be fine if you’re what they’re looking for. People tend to view selection as this insurmountable task standing between them and what they want, but in reality it’s just a test, put forth maximum effort and if you fail then you have nothing to be ashamed of, you just weren’t what they were looking for, If you pass know that selection isn’t the hardest part of the pipeline or the career field, it’s simply to determine whether or not you’re a good fit. That being said don’t quit, If you quit you should absolutely be ashamed.

    • @tomhawk375
      @tomhawk375 6 лет назад +1

      When I went through we had a problem with a lot of guys taking RASP contracts in OSUT so they could get Airborne, then they’d quit when we got to pre RASP, this was in 2012. Right before I got out only guys going to SFAS, RASP or Airborne units got slots to Airborne due to budgeting,that was in 2016. It would make more sense to do RASP first since that’ll cut down on the number of slots needed, but that also eliminates the Airborne op from RASP. So basically it depends on what higher up wants to do at that time.

    Everyone says "do a lot of pushups" or "be able to run far fast" but never actually explains what a lot/fast really is. How much should I be able to do before enlisting to give myself a good chance? The minimum requirements obviously aren't enough, but I don't know what to aim for above them.

      @lawrenceh2963 Год назад +1

      RASP is what you get on an option 40 contract or you volunteer for while enlisted. Upon completion of this school(which is the one they are talking about) you will then get your ranger scroll and be sent to the 75th ranger regiment. Everyone in the 75th ranger regiment will eventually go to Ranger School which is a tactics and leadership course to help you hone in specific skills. It is not like RASP. People from all over go to Ranger School and get their ranger tab, but don't serve in the 75th ranger regiment.

    @hiker2742 6 лет назад +2

    Help me out here please. I have a serious question. This is not being critical, it's just I don't understand something or am I missing something. I graduated high school 19 may 1979. Had already joined the Army, etc and reported for basic at Ft Benning 21 may 1979. Did basic/ait, then to jump school, then to Ranger school, in that order and went home on leave 19 Dec 1979. Do the math, that is only 2 days short of 7 months. So in 7 months, i went from reception station to wearing jump wings and Ranger Tab. So here is my question.... what's up with all this rasp mess and people trying and trying and trying to get a Tab and it taking forever? Seems to me they are given chances over and over, which is not good IMHO. I was in 3 years, never saw combat. but was prepared and ready if needed. March 1980 they sent our entire company to Jungle Expert school. You never ever hear anything about Jungle expert school anymore. So whats up with all this Rasp mess and giving away Tabs to women and people who wash out so easy?

    • @lucasm8528
      @lucasm8528 6 лет назад +2

      Ranger school is not RASP. A tab is not a scroll.
      Back then I don’t even think they had RIP, the battalions would directly conduct selection process. Now adays basic training and AIT is 17 weeks so 4.5 months until you graduate from infantry school. RASP itself is an additional 2 months. I agree though women should not be Rangers.

    • @hiker2742
      @hiker2742 6 лет назад +1

      @@lucasm8528 You still didn't answer my question. I'm not asking about basic and ait. Why does is there even a rasp program? A soldier should be able to go straight from jump school to ranger, and by the way, you didn't even mention jump school. It's impossible for someone to go to ranger school and not be airborne qualified, or at least it use to be that way and i don't see why that would have changed. And if it has changed, then thats messed up. Is the Army really lowering standards that much? What are they just handing out Ranger Tabs now?

      The rasp program which used to be rip before 2010 is to build a soldier up to the battalion standards . You keep saying ranger school but ranger school is a complete different selection/school then rasp (ranger assessment selection program) rasp is to get you into the 75th ranger regiment which gets you the scroll and the tan beret which before 2001 used to be a black beret rasp you are able to recycle multiple times until you give you the boot after the third try classes used to start every 8weeks now they are every 4
