@@jaylen3744 Focus on paragraph comprehension, word knowledge, arithmetic reasoning, and math knowledge, those are the really big parts of it most of the score is based on. The rest is mostly fluff that sees how you are with specific skill sets (like mechanic, IT, medical, etc). I really only studied for those and came out with an 83, qualified for everything.
From someone who went through RASP 1 let me give you some tips. 1. Get your PT Score over 300 before getting there. The pushups and sit-ups they want you to do have to be PERFECT. The run they judge hard on. If you aren’t lower then a 35 min they will look down on you. 2. Learn the Ranger Creed like the back of your hand BEFORE you get to RASP. 3. You will be there with NCOs as well, so treat them with respect as such. Just because they are students as well, doesn’t mean they don’t get respect and that FUCKED a lot of people up especially the E-1 11B kids who thought they were big and bad cause they Graduated OSUT. RASP is one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life, but it’s doable. As long as you don’t quit, you can’t be judged and say you never gave it everything you had.
Hunter Davis how did you hurt your back and wouldn’t you just get recycled to try again? Cole range is week 4 I thought so what made you fail during week 6?
Chris Laws Cole Range is week 3 and I was recycled. At the beginning of week 6 my class decided to do a surprise 6 mile Ruck with another 3 mile run at the end of the ruck in full kit. I already had back issues going in, and my back pretty much gave out and I was recycled to the next class. At the start of the second class, I made it to the end of Cole Range and on the ruck back my back slipped again, and at that point I had to think about my health and career so I had requested to be medically dropped.
Hey Matt love ur vids , but i am going to medschool .So if i join the army can Physicians attend RASP and all the training IF THEY WANT To? (I am a foreigner so as soon i finish residency in the U.S i will go Enlisted , later with citizenship go 75th Ranger)
If you want the join this regiment, do you have to be a BORN-US citizen, or can you join after getting citizenship through naturalization? I really need to know, because this is my main goal in life.
Get to your unit. Take FAST classes (just ask, you’re leadership will know what you’re talking about), improve the GT score and then call the 75th recruiter and he’ll guide you from there.
morning star I wouldn’t slowly do it. Set a distance and then go until you get to that distance. Over time as you repeat it it will get easier and you will build endurance. Be sure to hydrate and eat correctly too with well balanced foods and a lot of protein and carbs. Be sure to take rest days in between and work on your upper body endurance. Key word endurance. One thing I personally do is run Monday and Thursday 5 - 8 miles, upper body Tuesday and Friday, and Wednesday a 6 mile ruck in boots. I’ve built up to that and each day I challenge myself further. I focus on endurance for most of it but over time you will build it up. I was a Competition swimmer before I joined and I swam butterfly so that definitely helped. If you know how to swim, join a local or school swim team and run on your off days. You have 3 years+ before you even have to think about it. Just work hard and you will get there
11B. I served in the 82nd Airborne and graduated from ranger school. Never served in regiment. But this story is about two combat support E-4s in my company: our supply clerk and CBRN specialist. Both of them wanted Ranger school bad and made that very clear. It helped that they were both incredibly physically fit and had two of the highest PT scores in the company. It also helped that they were squared away. Even though they weren’t infantry, the 82nd Airborne is well funded and probably gets more Ranger school slots than any other non-ranger unit. Anyway they both took the initiative to get their ranger physicals. The chain of command wasn’t not supportive but infantry soldiers were the priority. Still, they had our Ops NCO test them on the Big 5 and they passed with flying colors. Then they went to the 82nd Pre Ranger Course which anyone can go to. It’s also the hardest PRC course in the army, even harder than the PRC course in regiment. They both flew through PRC with the PRC instructors letting our chain of command know that these two need to get sent to Ranger school ASAP. If you graduate from PRC at Fort Bragg, they will enthusiastically send you to Ranger School because the 82nd PRC has as bad an attrition rate as ranger school (and that’s by design). Our BN sent them on the next bus to ranger school and they both made it through first time go on everything in all three phases and our 1SG used them as examples to motivate the PSGs to get more 11Bs in their platoon to ranger school. Because they were combat support soldiers WITH ranger tabs, they become very rare even in their own MOSs. A few years later, they’re branch managers contacted them to ask if they wanted to go to RASP-of course they said yes. They successfully completed that and both got assigned to 2-75 in Washington. Typically combat support soldiers (JR soldiers) go through rasp and then to regiment and eventually they go to ranger school. A lot of them fail to make it through and after so many tries, they get sent out of ranger regiment. But if you’re a combat support soldier and you already have your tab, you’re GOLD for ranger regiment and branch managers will probably PUSH you to go to RASP afterwards.
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 ❤
I leave for Ft Jackson on the 25th, and I've been trying to prepare myself as best I can for basic, which your videos have helped a lot. Thanks a bunch for covering so many of the questions I had. I've been thinking about applying for Ranger school too. My recruiter mentioned it and offered it to me, but I kinda psyched myself out of it at first. I'm kinda kicking myself over it now that my contract is set (without option 40).
I was in the Army from 79 to 85. Stationed at Fort Lewis. My MLS was 64 c - 10 motor transport operator. I was in the 513th Transport company. I was a non Ranger qualified direct support driver for the 2nd battalion 75th Ranger regiment. While on rotation on the rapid deployment Force I got deployed to Panama with the Rangers during an operation.
My recruiter keeps trying to tell me that it's unlikely for me to get an option 40 contract because it's such a high demand request. Should i try to flex up on him and tell him i wont sign until it's in my contract?
Yes, he just wants you to sign on as soon as possible. Tell him that’s what’s stopping your from signing on and if it appeared it wouldn’t be a question.
Derrick Wynne ya dude, just wait it out. That’s what I’m currently doing. Your recruiters Job is to find people to recruit. They really don’t care about what you are going to be doing bc once you ship off you really arnt going to ever see them again, and well they did there job and they get paid for it. But look at it this way, if you say You want to wait and not sign till u get that contract, ya u might make them mad or not like you (kinda what happened to me), but ur talking about ur Entire career here, so You want to make sure you get exactly what you want. And you don’t have to do what you don’t want to do, it’s 100% your choice, not there’s.
I'm not sure if anyone knows but if you don't get a Ranger contract from recruiting you can volunteer while you're in your advanced training. The 75 Ranger Batt has recruiters and if you don't have the GT score they do have wavers. However, if you still are on the recruiting side you can ask your recruiter for a point waver if you are close to a GT score of 105. But, again you can just volunteer for the regiment.

Was trying to get airborne for 11x, then try to get in for RASP. I was told that I couldnt get airborne on my contract due to a medical waiver (approved today) for my poor vision (astigmatism) on my left eye. I was told that I could volunteer if they had open spots later during training but I dont know if my vision would still affect that. I hope not but I will be signing the contract this Friday for 4yrs active duty. Hopefully I get airborne. I want to get my jumps.
Your vision issue WILL DEFINITELY affect you getting schools and DEFINITELY rangers/rasp...you won’t get ranger school until your eyes are fixed which could take years....for someone like you, if you don’t get it in your contract then don’t expect to go....you should tell your recruiter you refuse to sign anything until you get a guaranteed spot in airborne school at least. They can make that happen no matter how much they say no or if there’s spots already filled, THEY CAN GET YOU A SPOT IN AIRBORNE you just need to be persistent and tell them you either get airborne or you’re not joining.
I just graduated basic during this whole corona virus pandemic going on and I’m not sure if anyone has reached out to you to tell you how it changed the basic but I’m willing to tell you how my experience went and what changed going in as well
You don't have to be a citizen to join the Army. Just a resident alien (green card holder). YOU DO NOT automatically get citizenship from joining the military. The government has a special fast track program for legal residents to get citizenship with 3 years of honorable active duty service. But its on you to request the paperwork, fill it out, submit it, and stay informed on the your progress. IT IS NOT AUTOMATIC.
Flat feet definitely makes running and everything a little harder depending on how severe it is, I recommend talking to a foot doctor to see if they could get you custom soles it makes a big difference but in the end if you want to do something nothing can stop you
Kind of funny how I usually end up having a question after watching one of your videos and you do a video answering that question a few days later! Love your channel and have learned a lot to prepare my husband and I for joining the military. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Kevin Todd I believe Army sniper school is available for soldiers to apply for later on. I do not think you can get that in your contract and you may need to go 11x to even have a chance but I’m not sure. There are videos though so just look for them.

Is 19d (cav scout) a combat MOS? I am pretty sure it is, and I want to enlist as that. I just want clarification. Also I am 17. Edit: How important is good grades for highschool? Can I still enlist if I do the near minimum? I just really hate school. Or do I need to get at least a c average?
19D is not on the list for Rangers as far as I know, but it is absolutely a combat MOS. High school Diploma is all they really care about. Make sure you get a regular diploma.
You just need a diploma. The important thing is your ASVAB score and your physical condition. 19D is combat arms, so they do 16 weeks OSUT training(at Benning I think). Get in touch with a recruiter and tell them what you are interested in, and they can help you out.
I'm about to go take my asvab in 2 days and I was thinking about being a ranger... then I heard asvab score of 70?!? Bruh... with all due respect if I was going to score a 70 or higher I'd be going to airforce or in the army with a way higher paying job. At the end of the day, wtf does a ranger badge do for your paycheck? 70 or higher my a** I'm good just making 30-40 and nowadays you can make a 10 on the asvab to join the navy lol
Not to be a D but I assume your hoo-ah is coming from The last stand of the two Delta operators that saved the UH-60 pilot. Msgt. GORDON, and Sgt. Shugart
Jeff H yep that’s exactly it. That scene made me want to join. Even visited randy shugharts grave in Carlisle Pennsylvania. Randy shughart was a ranger before joining delta. I wanna follow in his footsteps
@@shiftyguggs2415 great man. I just hate when people think of stuff like the movies. Keep a level head. Find a mentor and train. Square your self away and stay humble. Also glad you know that you start as a ranger and are selected for Delta.
Jeff H yeah I definitely understand that war is nothing like the movies in terms of the “glory” aspect of it. But seeing that scene made me want to at least serve 4 years as a active military personnel and hopefully become a ranger. Thanks for the advice.

Your vision issue WILL DEFINITELY affect you getting schools and DEFINITELY rangers/rasp...you won’t get ranger school until your eyes are fixed which could take years....for someone like you, if you don’t get it in your contract then don’t expect to go....you should tell your recruiter you refuse to sign anything until you get a guaranteed spot in airborne school at least. They can make that happen no matter how much they say no or if there’s spots already filled, THEY CAN GET YOU A SPOT IN AIRBORNE you just need to be persistent and tell them you either get airborne or you’re not joining.
I got 97 ASVAB and got injured rucking and discharged so couldn't do it but I wanted to
Just got my opt 40 contract in. Really excited to prep. Thank you
When you going to basic?
Update? Did you pass selection
I got a 57 on the asvab with a 110 gt score
I found this out the other day from the recruiter, I'm going over my options now in the ranger regiment. But infantry is more my thing.
I just graduated basic during this whole corona virus pandemic going on and I’m not sure if anyone has reached out to you to tell you how it changed the basic but I’m willing to tell you how my experience went and what changed going in as well
I'm curious to know the changes I'm looking to enlist soon
I will be leaving by october 3rd. Im kinda nervous
@@dansylvesterdeguzman3899 😬😬😬
Are all those patches units you were in?
Can you make a "First steps to join special forces" video? It'd be a amazing
You don't have to be a citizen to join the Army. Just a resident alien (green card holder). YOU DO NOT automatically get citizenship from joining the military. The government has a special fast track program for legal residents to get citizenship with 3 years of honorable active duty service. But its on you to request the paperwork, fill it out, submit it, and stay informed on the your progress. IT IS NOT AUTOMATIC.
You think flat fleet will affect me during my time in rangers?
Flat feet definitely makes running and everything a little harder depending on how severe it is, I recommend talking to a foot doctor to see if they could get you custom soles it makes a big difference but in the end if you want to do something nothing can stop you
Kind of funny how I usually end up having a question after watching one of your videos and you do a video answering that question a few days later! Love your channel and have learned a lot to prepare my husband and I for joining the military. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
I ship out in a Month (July 10th), 92R MOS, option 40 contract
Can somebody please make a video about sniper school!!! And how to get there!!!! And what it’s like
Kevin Todd I believe Army sniper school is available for soldiers to apply for later on. I do not think you can get that in your contract and you may need to go 11x to even have a chance but I’m not sure. There are videos though so just look for them.
Check that link out. It quite literally has everything you need to know.
@@nicolasthecaged4940 you’re spot on. It’s an identifier school that you get sent to by your unit ...:because they plan on putting you in a sniper position
🤣crazy all my questions answered right on time !
This video was perfect timing, visiting my recruiter today.
Lucas Toups I’m a bit late but did you get a contract?
Very informative thanks for all the great tips and explanations!!! Extremly considering enlisting and becoming a Ranger...
If you enlist 11x40 will everything you do if taken seriously have you ready to crush standards? That’s never been explained
Hey Matt! I've been watching all your videos about how to prepare for basics and all that but I wanted to know what does your workouts consist of?
I'm Going to join the Rangers in about 2 years (I'm 16) and I will not fail, RANGERS LEAD THE F*CKING WAY!!!!
You should start training now, you'll need to be in the best shape of your life at RASP
@@Haynes30 I've been working out consistently for only about a year right now but even so I know that I need to be stronger, thank you!
@@ghotlygamer push-ups pull-ups sit-ups, endurance, no need to bulk up, just get in shape. good luck, see you soon.
@@jaydee4014 so far I'm able to do about 65 push-ups in 2 minutes 75 sit ups, I can do 11 or 12 pull-ups, and I'm able to run 2 miles in 13: 43, five miles in 39:41, I'm going to get some weight training in but my goal is to get strong through mainly calisthenics so I'm only focusing on the bench press, squat and deadlift, I'm 16 turning 17 in three months and good Lord I get so much more exited with each passing day, thank you for the advice
I want to fight in a war. I tried enlisting in the US Army to become a Green Beret, however I have asthma. Is there anyway someone like me a can be deployed in armed combat? I’m looking at FBI SWAT and HRT but those are 6-7 year processes to simply apply for selection. I’m young now and want to fight. I don’t wanna wait another decade just for the fire to leave me.
E-4 92y, joined national guard in 13 and completed my contract in 2019 honorable discharged, will it be possible to get ranger school in contract for reup ?
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 ❤
Is 19d (cav scout) a combat MOS? I am pretty sure it is, and I want to enlist as that. I just want clarification. Also I am 17. Edit: How important is good grades for highschool? Can I still enlist if I do the near minimum? I just really hate school. Or do I need to get at least a c average?
IT'S ALL A HOAX as long as you graduate. doesn’t mean you can slack off, still try your best.
You just need a diploma to answer that, as for the rest of your questions find yourself a good, honest recruiter.
19D is not on the list for Rangers as far as I know, but it is absolutely a combat MOS. High school Diploma is all they really care about. Make sure you get a regular diploma.
You just need a diploma. The important thing is your ASVAB score and your physical condition. 19D is combat arms, so they do 16 weeks OSUT training(at Benning I think). Get in touch with a recruiter and tell them what you are interested in, and they can help you out.
Nah 19d is a pog
I'm about to go take my asvab in 2 days and I was thinking about being a ranger... then I heard asvab score of 70?!? Bruh... with all due respect if I was going to score a 70 or higher I'd be going to airforce or in the army with a way higher paying job. At the end of the day, wtf does a ranger badge do for your paycheck? 70 or higher my a** I'm good just making 30-40 and nowadays you can make a 10 on the asvab to join the navy lol
Shipping in 1 week

Lol, I’m a cook.
Did u become a ranger?
@@Theking-wz6uh oof... I just got dropped today. Shits tough 😭 I didn’t quit tho. Stay motivated.
@@joose88k DAMN BRO JUST TODAY? Damn bro at least u didnt quit, is there a reason why they dropped you? Is it really as hard as they say it is bro?😂
@@joose88k what was ur gt score? Got any advice for me?😭🙏🏽
Would OSUT help me for RASP and the physical requirements for it ?
I’m 16 and black hawk down made me want to become a ranger
Not to be a D but I assume your hoo-ah is coming from The last stand of the two Delta operators that saved the UH-60 pilot. Msgt. GORDON, and Sgt. Shugart
Jeff H yep that’s exactly it. That scene made me want to join. Even visited randy shugharts grave in Carlisle Pennsylvania. Randy shughart was a ranger before joining delta. I wanna follow in his footsteps
@@shiftyguggs2415 great man. I just hate when people think of stuff like the movies. Keep a level head. Find a mentor and train. Square your self away and stay humble. Also glad you know that you start as a ranger and are selected for Delta.
Jeff H yeah I definitely understand that war is nothing like the movies in terms of the “glory” aspect of it. But seeing that scene made me want to at least serve 4 years as a active military personnel and hopefully become a ranger. Thanks for the advice.
I don’t have an Opt. 40 contract & I’m going to RASP in 2 months. If you’re a support MOS, you will more than likely be able to volunteer to go to RASP during AIT! (I’m a 25U)
Pohaku you at Gordon?
GGN Rizzy ye
D-U-EL & DAREAL if you’re active duty you can ask your drill sergeants or local ranger recruiter to point you in the right direction
how’s it going for you?
@@lucasfavaro2951 Got out last year but I had fun (didn't make it through rasp)
Got 11x option 40 leaving for osut in March WOO!!
Bro, how did you do it lol, how much did you wait? They didnt wanna give it to me at MEPs
@@jonw1958 my liaison called fort benning and was like do you have any of these and my gt score was like 10 over what was required so it counted towards me as a plus and just kinda got lucky
You fucked up lmao

Can a Marine become a Ranger or complete the training?
No. They can attend Ranger School. But they will never become an Army Ranger unless they join the Army and complete RASP.
God will I will be doing that, ranger course
I am 45 yo and a german national. Can I join the us army and become a ranger? Got a phd in geochemistry and also a diploma in translation (english to german) and also a cyber security certificate.
Sadly, that wouldn't work out due to your age.
Although, what I can recommend is looking into some federal agencies, cause your credentials, especially those in translation would be greatly helpful and assist you.
That ruck run is a little harder than what you think I was a rip guy from back in the early 2000 era
The first time I took the asvab I made a 25 and my gt was 130
They will ask you in basic training if you want to go to rasp.
My dream in the army I’m joining up hell yeah
You don’t have to be infantry, but you want to be.
I’ve always wanted to be a ranger, but im toooo dumb💀 I’ll just stay as airborne
Xd
Got dropped on week 3 because of not passing push ups I had gotten 74 sit ups 51 push ups 34:20 on my 5 mile run and 10 chin ups
Passed blue book and history test and TC3
2 days before coal range oh and 9/15 would have gotten 11/15 cadre didn’t count the 2
how'd you get to week 3 and didnt pass the push ups?
@@masterdsmith1433 my arms locked up and popped my arm
Can you be a Ranger if you’re colorblind?
It’s actually very common for Army National Guard soldiers to attend U.S. Army Ranger School.
Can i be a Ranger o Green beret being "cabo or sargent"?
What ever was of the black barrrets...?
can i get in with no military experience? im 22 and a bum but i really want to try this
Yes
Did you feel like you accomplished something and feel like you were important when you joined the Army? I just ask because I feel very useless currently and feel like I'm just a waste of space and a reason why I want to join is to feel like I'm a part of something important.
That's a good reason to join I fell the same way man , if you're single it's the way to go , you can put away some money and pick up some nice skills
@@devinreed9924 You're right. thanks
Should I do airborne school and ranger school before or after rasp
Russell Coleman if you pass Rasp you are gonna pass Ranger school. Also, if you go to Rasp you’ll get front loaded to Airborne school after Rasp
I could do it. I just didnt score a 70 On My ASVAB D19 CALVERY SCOUT SO ARMY RECON WELL OPPORTUNITYS CAN ARISE EITHIER WAY IM PROUD TO SERVE.
Is 2/75 still known as 2nd Aryan on Ft. Lewis? My first night there I had to listen to soldier talk about how much he hated having an N-word as BN CSM. Then he talked about holocaust denial. Then a team leader (N.L.) named his fire team 'Aryan Team'. I saw someone reading 'The Turner Diaries'. Then going to see 'friends' in Idaho (Hayden Lakes/Aryan Nations). One solider (M.S.) was going to have 'My Honor is My Loyalty' (SS motto) tattooed on him. Or is it less neo-Nazi these days?
Leaving in march, 11x op 40. cya in benning anyone else who leaves same time as me.

MyT Kiwi “somebody pleasssssse get this Man a gun!!
@@TterbTheOwner Wait, what's wrong with other jobs?
You may have already did a video on this, but could you do a video on your knowledge of the 18x program? Not sure if that’s what it’s called, I’ve heard it referred to as that.
Have decent PT scores before you go in. The SOPC will help immensely before SFAS
If anyone wanting a workout buddy for correspondence and motivation, just reply to me because I’m about to embark on getting in shape. Should be going to recruiter early February.
Are there two Delta Force parches?
Heyy Matt I have some questions... Can you do a Masters Degree in the Army ROTC ?.... I was planning take the OCS Route, but im very interested in Making a masters... Great video it clarified me the doubts so i can serve in the regiment in different ways if im not get the branch than I want in the officer side
There were several Masters students in the ROTC when I was in college. They advanced a 'rank' every semester rather than every year like undergrad ROTC students since their program is shorter.
i went through the ranger indoctrination program on north ft lewis in 1979, served with the 2/75th, was also ri in dahlonega, if you want it its possible
Idk how I’m seeing ppl with a way better score than me on the asvab but then have a lower GT score than me. I scored a 50 and my GT is 155. Can someone explain this please?
what is the cutting age
Just turned 18 and im signing my contract soon, im hype.
I just got my 11x option 40 a couple weeks ago, I ship out July 12th
@C Freesus You never know, maybe we will, good luck to you too! RLTW
