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

Joshua curtis ima go talk to my recruiter soon ima try to secure an option 40 but I still have to finish my senior year of high school and yes since I plan on going 11x I will be going to Benning I believe
I haven’t gone yet but the consistent advice I’ve been given is be able to max out your pt score. I’m getting my pushups back into good order, but still trying to get my mile 2 times back to sub 6 min.
Your not doing two miles in 6 minutes bro! Are You telling me your running a four minute mile and a two minute mile? Because that's not happening. And if I didn't understand what You wrote can You clarify what You meant please and thank You. I'm Cross Country/Track XC all the way middle school through college track middle school high school. And I ran on an Epic Team with insane runners six minute milers were slow! 4:07 was the time to beat. So please be careful how you word things please later
This is so dope that you guys are taking time to make a video about RASP! I’d venture there’s a LOT of videos about Ranger School, and how to survive, but not much about RASP that gets you into the Regiment in the first place! Can you guys do a video on the schools Rangers are expected/ can go to once they get to their Batt.?
I already run and lift. What other exercises should I do to train? I'm trying to establish a really good routine. And what what kind of mindset should I have going in? I want to be a ranger to break out of the comfortable bubble I grew up in and become something new and better while also being part of something greater, basically. Any financial and career benefits are a plus of course, but they've never been my primary reasons
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.
Last Patriot You’ll figure it out soon. No harm meant. Everyone was a cherry once; with a head full of noble reasons to serve. Who knows, maybe you’ll still feel that way down the line. Best of luck in your career. Never volunteer for anything (except schools and the like that will advance your career) and when you get to your permanent duty station, DO NOT marry a local girl...especially a stripper. That is all. Carry on.
Last Patriot What branch are you joining? I’m assuming it’s the Army based on the video your op was under? If that’s the case, and you have any questions which you don’t want to ask your recruiter or don’t want to ask in public here on RUclips...I’d be happy to help as much as I can (much of my “advice” above was in jest). It’s great to see the next generation of pipe hitters coming up. I served a little over 8 years active in various units...in both big and small Army. I will shoot u my email address if you’re interested. Either way, good luck to you. RLTW.
Quick question I thought 53 was the bare minimum even for 17-21. If he was given credit for 56, why did he “fail” I’m confused...I mean I’m on the extended scale every time I take a pt test so I’m not worried. That just doesn’t make sense.
Could you do the same videos for Special Forces Preparation, Assessment, and Selection, and Qualification Courses? My goal is to join PSYOP's and would love to know what I could do to prepare myself after I commission
Just like with me talking about RASP I want somebody with personal experience. The problem is I don't know any SF guys. I also would likely not be able to get anybody CURRENTLY in SF
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.
Son of THE King anything you want I talked with a couple 75th about it I’m getting ready to enlist on a option 40 contract but I would do a breast stroke anything else you’ll get made fun of
@Gabriel Lowe, You dont say, I never said it was and im highly aware of that but i can use that as a stepping stone for when i actually go in next summer.
Can you go over option 40 contracts and whether or not you go to airborne school first? Almost everything I’ve seen online says you go through rasp first but almost everyone I’ve talked to in the military says I’ll go through airborne school then rasp.
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.
It is now OSUT-RASP-Airborne. Too many people selected 40 contracts to get airborne qualified and dropped out a couple days into RASP. Army noticed the sham. They flipped the order around.
If you're 11B/C/X, OSUT - RASP - AIRBORNE is what I saw. I was not infantry thus, I went to AIT - AIRBORNE - RASP. However, I did have some 11Bs with me going from ABN to RASP.
Hayden Kiger I did some research it’s a little bit of both they have two selection programs for Rasp. Rasp 1 is for lower enlisted soldiers and Sergeants and Rasp 2 for warrant officers , officers, and higher rank soldiers
By chance did you train in pueblo Colorado at Gracie Barra Jiu-jitsu? You look like someone I've trained with brother. I was the only Marine at the Gracie academy.
THE GREAT DOGZILLA , yes Ranger medics go through pre SOCM and SOCM before they show up to Batt, out of the Medics 6 or 7 medics that I graduated with only 2 or 3 passed SOCM. Ranger Medics are among the best trained medics in the military.
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. Like for example, how fast should my 2-mile be? How many pushups should I be able to get in a row before I sign anything? Those are actual milestones I can see happening and I need those to feel like I'll be ready
Step 1 join Step 2 get into rasp Step 3 take care of your feet Step 4 say yes sir Step 5 be an absolute goat and don’t quit That’s what I plan on doing
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.
Hey Matt, I have a question. The administrators at my school have been bothering me about my future since I didnt fill out college apps yet and I had already told my counselor that I want to enlist. Seeing their rush, should I talk to a recruiter right now? Before I turn 18 and not even close to graduation?
If that's what you want to do yes. It was the last week of my junior year when I called the recruiter. I went to MEPS that July. There is delayed enlightenment options
@Ice Distroyer Yea I've done a two years worth of research by now, and still doing more. Just sitting in anticipation while all of that tbh. But yeah I get that, thanks for the answer.
@Matt Ward, at any point did he mention WHEN you do the 5-mile run? Is it same day as the APFT, different day? Any other events required that same day as 5-mile run? RLTW !!!
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?
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.
@@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
@@laa5353 why not go directly to Ranger School? this whole thing sounds woosy to me. I don't think the rangers of today are the same as the Rangers of yester year! just my opinion.
Ok gues I need some help. When I was 14 and 15 I smoked weed. When I say smoked weed I literally mean when I was 14 I had ONE PUFF. that was literally it. And when I was either 15 or 16 I had one more puff offered. I haven’t even smoked half a blunt. Just two puffs. Is this soemthing I should tell a recruiter? If so would I have to she. A waiver? I heard you can’t get a op 40 if you have a waiver? But dude 2 puffs in total
You must have 0 waivers to get an option 40. Just don’t tell them anything about that if you want this contract. I smoked weed from age 15-21 I left that out and I just got an option 40
Yung4skin oh, and if yoou were to like go special forces and get a secret clearance or whatever it is do they put you to a lie detector test it would they just background check your history? Cuz if you never get in trouble for weed then they wouldn’t find out later on right?
@@jameshillard5582 Yeah my bad I got it mixed up with the sit ups. Either way what nobody mentions is not only do they push you to a state of exhaustion that day before you even start the PFT, but they expect you to do better than the standard. Think about that Office Space scene with Jennifer Aniston in the pub with the buttons. She has the minimum buttons stated, but really what's stated is below what's expected. It's like that from what I hear
@@jameshillard5582 In RIP you had to do 70% (49) to pass and had six months from your assignment date in regiment to achieve and maintain 80% or you would be RFS'd. If I'm not mistaken, in RASP you have until the end to achieve 80% and you have to maintain that or risk being RFS'd.
i'm not sure what this rasp is, but have a idea.. if it's what i think it is i sure hope females can't go. but then again with the dufus boys going in today, i guess they take what they can get nowdays.
@@SaysIvan Yes I have, I was in Batt for a few years. It's simple, don't quit. Be strong. The course is designed to build you up to pass any of the events. Guys 20 years ago didnt have youtube videos telling them how to pass RIP. They just did.

Step 3 take care of your feet
Step 4 say yes sir
Step 5 be an absolute goat and don’t quit
That’s what I plan on doing
You don’t say yes sir too the rasp cadre because they are ncos so you would either say yes “Sgt” or “1st Sgt”
VVS-Alex yeah but you get the gist
You prob can’t even score high on asvab
Can you go to RASP and RANGER SCHOOL? If so, what's the difference in the path?
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.
Now I will know what my son with face in October.
Hey Matt, I have a question. The administrators at my school have been bothering me about my future since I didnt fill out college apps yet and I had already told my counselor that I want to enlist. Seeing their rush, should I talk to a recruiter right now? Before I turn 18 and not even close to graduation?
@@carloevangelisti4174 What date do you ship bro? I ship out on June 25th
If that's what you want to do yes. It was the last week of my junior year when I called the recruiter. I went to MEPS that July. There is delayed enlightenment options
@Ice Distroyer Yea I've done a two years worth of research by now, and still doing more. Just sitting in anticipation while all of that tbh. But yeah I get that, thanks for the answer.
@@leowang1004so what was the outcome?
Rasp and Rip. Do not go to sleep. The instructors will ask your velvet. Everybody gets hurt
Your training for Spec Ops.
How hard is it to get a option 40 contract
easy
Joe Oaklove pretty easy, not everyone takes option 40 and not everyone makes it. So slots are almost always available
They give 150 away a month
Enjoy Cole Range😎
anybody else shipping to fort Sill Nov 5th?
Ah man, I ship Nov 13th dang bro!
Are there any ex Rangers in the Southern California area willing to train/mentor me?
Ask around and who knows. maybe their is some forum or online group

Israel Hoffman, they’re not in Batt.
Gotcha. Kind of a mute point then to out this video out there.
@@israelhoffman8074 you definitely didnt watch the 1st part
Hey man I wanna go option 40 but I really wanna be 11b not 11c do you have any advice
Look at the available MOS’s. There’s a list of options pinned on R/75thrangerrecruiting
Evans20b i will go with u....
@Matt Ward, at any point did he mention WHEN you do the 5-mile run? Is it same day as the APFT, different day? Any other events required that same day as 5-mile run?
RLTW !!!
He did not mention that but the "Ranger PFT" does have that 5-mile run in 40 minutes. So I assume that you do it the same time as the "APFT".
And trastaynes
I see all them BPN sups 😄😏
They’re the best 👌🏻
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?
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.
@@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
When you complete rasp you get a scroll and a beret you do not get a ranger tab
@@laa5353 why not go directly to Ranger School? this whole thing sounds woosy to me. I don't think the rangers of today are the same as the Rangers of yester year! just my opinion.
100 meters? Someone told me it was 15 meters
Ok gues I need some help. When I was 14 and 15 I smoked weed. When I say smoked weed I literally mean when I was 14 I had ONE PUFF. that was literally it. And when I was either 15 or 16 I had one more puff offered. I haven’t even smoked half a blunt. Just two puffs. Is this soemthing I should tell a recruiter? If so would I have to she. A waiver? I heard you can’t get a op 40 if you have a waiver? But dude 2 puffs in total
Don’t you even tell your recruiter that. Weed only stays in your system for about 3 weeks, as long as you’re clean.
You must have 0 waivers to get an option 40. Just don’t tell them anything about that if you want this contract. I smoked weed from age 15-21 I left that out and I just got an option 40
Yung4skin oh, and if yoou were to like go special forces and get a secret clearance or whatever it is do they put you to a lie detector test it would they just background check your history? Cuz if you never get in trouble for weed then they wouldn’t find out later on right?
Do not tell your recruiter that. In fact, do not tell him/her anything that there isn’t proof of on paper somewhere.
you never smoked weed
“You’ll be dropped, roger.”
Leave it better than you found it.

5 tips to pass RASP from a guy who didnt pass..?
Considering he failed, I believe he’d be qualified to educate people on what to harp on the most.
@@flubdreload2818 if I fail a driving test am I qualified to tell people how to drive?
@@kylebradley8979 no, but you're able to tell people what it was like, how and why you failed, and what to focus on
Oh so as a member of the ranger regiment yourself I take it you've never failed in your life?
Any tips for a female?
Be one of the boys
Oswaldo Velazquez mannnn😂💀
They don’t like females in batt
Don’t go
Did he not pass rasp because of push ups??
ballerstew gotta remember theyre probably mad sore from prior training
wait he got 56 push ups??? I thought min was 49????
minimum for RPFT is 58. RIP
@@luisdawnfinder3188 ? everywhere i look RASP Rpft is only 49 tho lmao. Even my recruiting station giving me my rpft is saying 49
@@jameshillard5582 Yeah my bad I got it mixed up with the sit ups. Either way what nobody mentions is not only do they push you to a state of exhaustion that day before you even start the PFT, but they expect you to do better than the standard. Think about that Office Space scene with Jennifer Aniston in the pub with the buttons. She has the minimum buttons stated, but really what's stated is below what's expected. It's like that from what I hear
@@jameshillard5582 In RIP you had to do 70% (49) to pass and had six months from your assignment date in regiment to achieve and maintain 80% or you would be RFS'd. If I'm not mistaken, in RASP you have until the end to achieve 80% and you have to maintain that or risk being RFS'd.
Rasp is minimum 58 push ups and 69 sit ups, ranger school and sfas is 49 push ups minimum
How’d he fail the push ups the minimum is 53 he got 56
Any tips for females?
Why would it be any different?
CAN FEMALES COULD GO TO RASP
i'm not sure what this rasp is, but have a idea.. if it's what i think it is i sure hope females can't go. but then again with the dufus boys going in today, i guess they take what they can get nowdays.
Yeah. When I went through, there were females in pre rasp.
@@szab_0742 NO wonder we can't win any wars anymore. What is this country coming to?

Have you passed RASP or gone to RASP? If so drop some knowledge bombs. If not, well...
@@SaysIvan Yes I have, I was in Batt for a few years. It's simple, don't quit. Be strong. The course is designed to build you up to pass any of the events. Guys 20 years ago didnt have youtube videos telling them how to pass RIP. They just did.
You’ve either got it or you don’t, this rings true for all SOF selection courses.
