About a year before you get to be a new guy. And like he said. That phase can last a year and a half. Then two months at ranger school... After which you're no longer the new guy.
Isn't basic and OSUT at BENNING kinda the same thing. Does it still mean One station unit training? Thought that was the way of saying you did basic and Ait at the same place. Or It could have changed to.
Excellent presentation, Luke Ryan! I got the general idea of the training requirements to be an Army Ranger. God bless you sir and I hope and pray 🙏 you are prospering as a civilian.
Respect to those guys, but the only time I ever said "I want to be an airborne ranger" was singing cadence while running. My year and a half training as a Russian-language radio intercept operator was not physically challenging, but was both fun and rewarding.
Nothing wrong with that. It's not for everyone. And without people like you, we couldn't do our jobs as well as we did. So from one Vet to another. Thank you for all that you have done.
Back when it started, there was no rasp. Me back in 1974 i was in airborne school when a e6 came walking around the barracks. He found me as i was a radio operator, and the unit needed radio operators. He said he was recruiting for a new unit called 1/75 airborne rangers, and he asked me i was interested. I asked some questions, and yes. I had a lot of fun in that unit. Thanks for sharing your journey into one of the ranger units. Take care and have a fantastic life

@@kaiserluch9322it’s hard but your mentality needs to be that you will never quit, no matter what. I am going to RASP in a few months and carrying that mentality with me.
Excellent account of life as a Ranger. I really enjoyed this video. I was in 3rd Batt from 1984-1987, and these 21st Century Rangers are way more badass than we were! RLTW
(I never served.) Luke Ryan, when I hit about 40, I noticed the older I got, the younger my heroes got. Now at 71, THANK YOU for being one of them! ❤🤍💙
Sounds mostly the same from when I went through RIP (oct/ Nov '92). Though in RIP day 1 you are broken into three large platoons, one for each battalion, and you got to decide which one. Once through RIP and arriving at battalion, 3rd for me, you were really pushed hard during that first training cycle as they wanted everyone ready for Ranger School as fast as possible. I was an e-4 in less than a year, basically awarded as soon as you returned from Ranger School, and e-5 in less than a year and a half in service, at 19yo, which was the average age of a Ranger when I was in. I expected after 30 years there would have been much more of a difference - but I guess if it works, it works. Rangers Lead the Way! o7
@@1anre Went in as an E-2, and then 18 months to E-5. I was lucky and went through pre-ranger and ranger school as soon as I arrived at battalion and you were promoted to E-4 as soon as you finished ranger school. Ranger tab gives an automatic 100 pts, so that plus expert marksman, max PT test, you just need the board and PLDC and you are maxed out on points for E-5, just need an open slot. Same for E-6 pretty much. My last year in the Army I did at Ft. Bragg in the 82nd, I met another guy there that pretty much had done the same thing, e-5 in 18 months, e-6 at 5 1/2 years and he did it there in the 82nd. So it can be done outside battalion, just requires lots of motivation and a little bit of luck on the school slots.
@elcohetejpr oh ok. Makes sense. Once you reached E5 that early(18 months), did you get bored and didn't really have any motivation to keep remaining in the army as you've seen almost everything within those ranks? Did you try out for any SMUs or you left at E6 and just went into the corporate world ro work?
I was really looking forward to this content, and it's really good to meet you over the camera. Do you have to say that I'm hoping for more for the series. I want to hear stories, I want to hear critical thinking breakdowns of specific situations. The whole " this is what this MOS is like" content has been done for decades. A lot of it by recruiters themselves. I think there's so many stories that are worth exploring, hopefully with guests, but you can take a metal citation and run with it. Ward Carroll does this fantastically on his channel, when he brings on a friend of his who turns out to be an admiral or somebody who shot down a mig, and they just chit chat for 30 minutes and it's fantastic content. I hope you take this constructively, I really want this to be awesome content that I can't wait to open up every time I see the thumbnail. Good luck!
I retired after 21 years in the Army (1991-2010) all as 11B and it started off at 2/75 and continued throughout that career field until retirement. With that being said, I can say that your explanation is probably one, if not the best, that I have watched. You don't over sensationalize or get too in-dept. I don't know you and don't recognize you, but then again, I am quite a bit older (hahah). With that being said, I am glad to see that you made it home from your deployments and your channel is growing. From one brother to another, I wish you and yours all the best. Sua Sponte!!
Great start! I'm looking forward to new content and the direction y'all take this sub-channel, for lack of a better term. There are some really great authors putting out a stream of novels and stories that are Ranger-focused, and they often publish podcasts and interviews with the Rangers with whom they consult. It's fascinating - I hope these segments get to the same level of awesome!
I’m signing an option 40 soon, and I’m already pretty informed about the ins and outs of what that pipeline would look like up to actually getting sent to your regiment, but I’ve yet to find a video that goes so in depth, about all the aforementioned things as well as what comes next. Very very informative and helpful.
Old man now, but being a combat engineer and infantryman, served as both enlisted E-5 and officer 0-3, as well as a qualified Airborne Ranger (class 9-87) I can't describe how important being a Ranger has been in my life. I was never in the Regiment but greatly admired and respect all of the literally hundreds of soldiers I knew that did serve in the regiment. I am sure I will get flamed for saying what I am going to say by Regiment guys but don't really care. To me, being a Ranger is state of mind and doesn't really matter if you are in or out of the Regiment and that is what is important. Rangers are expected to be the best in ALL they do, YOU set the example, just reading or hearing a tiny part of the Ranger Creed still fires me up almost 40 years later. You are expected to set the highest possible standards in all you do as a soldier and never, ever falter no matter how hard things get. As a leader, you are expected to fight smart and train, plan, rehearse and operate at the highest level of professionalism so no matter what you do you maximize your chances of success. You learn that your body and mind are much, much stronger than you imagine and that example you set makes ALL the soldiers around better by your presence and attitude. It isn't something you kind of do because they are paying you to do it, you literally become a Ranger in all you do. I left the army after 9 years but being a solider and a Ranger gives you such a massive advantage in the civilian world it is difficult to describe. Few civilians know or care if you served or how but when they see your commitment, high standards, ability to plan and shape situations and get things done you are ABSOLUTELY unmatchable by 99% of people that did not serve. I'm in my 60s and still wear a Ranger haircut, LOL. I have had my own firm for over 30 years and very successful and I attribute it to the values I learned as an soldier, army leader and Ranger. Life in or out of the Army is difficult that's life. The advantage you get from doing this is that no matter how tired, hungry, scared or confused I have ever been the ideals that are what being a Ranger actually means turn into this powerful energy you can feel inside of you and it gets you through. I literally often feel that when times are toughest that fallen Rangers look down on me from above and give me strength to maintain Ranger standards. I still carry myself as a Ranger in all I do, I have just been on TDY as a civilian for decades. Rangers Lead The WAY!
Hey Bob, first I wanna say to you " Sua Sponte" and if you still wear a tab in your heart, then you know what that means, I did spend 3 years in the 1st Bn 75 to 78 Ft. Stewart and HAAF in Savannah, And I didn't get to School until years later as an E-6 at Bragg in 82, Rangers are Rangers all in the heart & mind right RLTW !!!!
i heard they actually changed it to going to Airborne AFTER (if you complete) RASP now b/c recruits were wanting to go airborne and the only way was with an Option 40 contract (Ranger contract) - so they were quitting after Airborne and before going to RASP... thou, it'll *always* be RIP to me! RLTW 1/75
You're correct, I just spoke with a recruiter last week about option 40. You have to finish RASP before you see AIRBORNE. Like you said, too many people were bailing.
If I am not mistaken I think they changed it around where you do not go to airborne until after RASP. If you fail RASP you immediately get sent to the “Big Army” loose your contract and Airborne is taking off the table. 11X with option 40. Please correct me if I am wrong. My son is in the process now. We thought the steps were the way this video listed the process but realized the switch.
They switched it because a lot of guys were signing option 40's just to go to airborne then quitting as soon as they got to RASP and wasting time and money on training so they swapped the order
Simply a good run through of infantry ranger life. Would like to see what other specializations in ranger regiment's career path looked like too(medic, recce, intelligence, etc)
Ranger 11-74 -- I became unbelievably superlative with a map and compass for land navigation -- give me a map, and I am MAGIC! It is humbling, being such an expert at something which is now, thanks to technology, pretty much obsolete. (I won't mention the slide rule I kept, from high school chemistry class.)
I believe in how hard they need to push you to see if you can make it through still in one piece why’ll your still at home. So they know as well as yourself knows you have what it takes to handle yourself on deployment.
How has that shaped the pipeline of people going into airborne school now, as other units send people to airborne school without sending them to an equivalent of RASP first. Seems one-sided
When I attended RIP in 1988, they had a cadre visit Airborne school and would sign up volunteers if you met all the requirements. However, if you quit or failed, they could assign you to any unit in the Army.
School names/training names have changed, but alot hasn’t. I went to Ranger school in 1976, then to 1st battalion, then at Fort Stewart, Georgia. We had one vehicle, the Colonels jeep. No Strykers or other kit.
LOL...Is that Sgt. Rogers of C CO? RIP? RASP? Back when I served in C CO, 1st Battalion (77-79) they just threw you in with the hard-core. Basic/AIT/jump school/Ranger Battalion. You swam or sunk. If they thought you were ready, and that took awhile, they sent you to Ranger School. Good video for today's recruits. Comparing 70's to today's Rangers is pointless. 2 different missions and loads more technology. PT is the same, apparently 😂. Rangers do lead the way...make it and you'll never face anything more mentally challenging or rewarding. Sua Sponte!
Yep, Black Berets and OD fatigues with jungle boots, in those old red brick barracks 700 block, back when Stewart was almost empty, just us and those Nat Guard punks every weekend, Hinesville was a lonely po dunk town then, big move to Hunter was what we all were happy about, Sua Sponte then & now RLTW!!!
@way75mit9 Remember half the buildings on main post were still wooden relics from WW2? 🤣 The in process was on the other side of the post in those cinderblock buildings. The start of deployments by truck up to Hunter to load C141's. Those were the days.
@@jste363 Yes sir, Taylor Creek drop zone and Camp Oliver rip, the good old days, M-16 and C130 jumps almost all at night, Don't remember making any daylight jumps until I went to the 509th in Italy, RLTW !!!
I want to be a ranger if our country enters a major operation. I’m currently an electrician but with the way the world is going I can’t sit idly by and watch from the sidelines.
America's first special forces. The US Rangers were created, trained and advised by the British Army Commandos in 1942 Achnacarry Scotland. The 1st and 29th Rangers were born. Direct copies of the Commandos. These later used their new Commando skills to create the 2nd and 5th US Ranger Battalions in 1943 who participated in D day. "Ranger" was selected because of the British colonial Rogers Queens Rangers (Scottish border Rangers). 8 British advisors accompanied the US Rangers at Point Du Hoc aswell as 3 SWANS. The later US Green berets, Marine Raiders, US Seals/OG all trace their heritage back to the Commandos. US DELTA force was later modelled on the SAS 🇺🇸
Actually the US Army Ranger lineage is traced back before the founding of the United States. Major Robert Rogers, to be exact. There have been Army Ranger variations that have fought in every single American war. Every Ranger know their history ☀️⚡️⭐️
They were called Rangers but fundamentally were different in every way. Regiment loves using this though even though they know it's inaccurate. The first special forces were closer to SF or an Agency team than anything like Ranger Regiment today.
God bless and protect our service peroneal from those who wish to do Us harm. God bless you ( little Avie) hope you are well, and all who are in the service. 10/25/2023 I haven't talked to my dodder for years now. All I can think of somedays is I pray for you.
People here dont seem to understand the difference between RASP and Ranger school. Ranger school is where you get your ranger tab, RASP are ranger school graduates who strive to join a ranger regiment. Two completely different objectives. You dont wear the tan beret after ranger school, you wear it after RASP.
God i hated BCT i can't imagine it getting harder. 😅 I know some dudes who did infantry and went on to doing rasp and some of them did go onto being rangers but god damn the time it took was insane. I had gotten my associates degree and was working on getting a civilian job for when i discharged and got out this guy was STILL working on his training that you described.
God bless and Thank you u for the advice to how to become a ranger I'm 20 years old I really manifesting to be a ranger my plan is to join the military 🎖️❤
Thanks for giving those civilian's a slight taste of how it is. Nobody understands until the shit hits the fan. Take care brother, and try and do one on Pathfinder, or JFO life. Shit is fun, hard, scary at no time, just thirsts for more. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!. Rangers Lead The Way! - NOM
Yeah I thought everything before ranger battalion was hell... then I got to ranger school. Lots of thinking you're the shit when you enter into your contract but they will put you through so many different cycles and levels and break down that ego big time. But the feeling of getting through it all and finally being a REAL active ranger is fucking amazing. I'd put it beyond becoming a seal honestly
I went 88N woo..😂 BUT! No joke in 2007 when I went in the way and who the D.S. were a lot of buddies including my self should have been going down the pipeline. I did get airborne offered right after ait so a little backwards. If I knew the 75th had 88s maan..I would have said whoa whoa that's where I'm going! Much love brother!
Great video. When you went through RASP, did you notice if there was a higher rate of success among those who went to Ranger School before RASP versus those who did not?
Back when I went thru i went in on a ranger contract but had to go thru FTU(IT was basically RIP before rip😂) then basic/osut then airborne then rip then 1st batt but during ranger school we went thru 4 phases Merrill then mountain also in ga the swamp/Darby at Eglin then to DUGWAY (a nightmare) when did it get cut to 3?
That bit near the end. I served in the Royal Australian Navy and we were told in recruit school 35 years ago, “Once a Pusser, always a Pusser.” Pusser is a nickname for sailor. This stuff never leaves you. I spoke to a much older veteran not too long ago and told him I was ex-navy, and his reply was, “There’s no such thing as ex!”🤣
That sounds like someone who is blowing smoke up your ass. Rangers (Regimental) literally run two separate courses, with some similarities to earn the scroll AND the Tab. It is the only SOF Unit that has Tier 1 & 2 units. Our Tier 1 RRC (RRD) had a completely separate pipeline as well and selection within Battalions is extremely rigorous as well. Each SOF units selection and pipeline is different and for very specific reasons. No one unit is a pre-req to the other. I've seen my fair share of guys washout of Q course who's ego thought they were better than everyone else. And I've seen GB and Delta Force Operators not make time on our two obstacle courses, Darby Queen and Malvesti...
Really great content I appreciate the alternate type of content! I have one question for you and that is, "do you think it would be possible to include the position of being CCT"? (sorry my writing and punctuation skills truly suck). Possibly also include different positions within the SEALs without giving away classified info? First let me say that I would really like to hear some of the experiences both individuals have gone through and possibly where they are in life today. These experiences I truly believe make a individual a truly unique individual and someone to aspire to be one day. I don't know of any better recruitment material that is presented truthfully with all the dangers and what-if's! I think that compiling all these together would truly show the immense valor that our troops aspire to each and every day even when they become civilians... God bless all those who have safe-guarded our freedom and our rights as U. S. citizens
When I went through it was RIP in 06. When did it change? And we weren't taught shit in RIP like explosives and the cool guy stuff. That 20 days was just physical bullshit to get rid of people who really didn't want it.
@@SaundersE5 we had 2 guys quit in formation for the school. They told us to put our hats over our faces and really think if you want to be here. I couldn't believe it when 2 of them left. 😂 Rangers lead the way!
@@AnthonyBerardis-r1pevery Monday in RIP we did airborne ops all day and night. They’d ask at Monday morning formation after chow who wanted to quit. Some did, each Monday. Guess it wasn’t for them.
I am not sure if this is a general rule, but I have read a few books about people in special forces (e.g. Inside DeltaForce). What those books had all in common: The authors said they never doubted they would get into whatever special United they wanted to get in. They always knew they would make it. So I'd say: If your mindset is "Do I have what it takes to be a Green Beret / Seal / whatever?" - you probably don't. Your mindseht should be: "Of course I have what it takes, no question about that" I'd love to hear thoughts of people who are in this kind of units. Am I correct?
The people I knew who “knew they would get in” were the first ones to quit. I think a common feeling is that you don’t feel like you are good enough and need to prove that you deserve to be there everyday. So while you don’t necessarily doubt yourself, you are acutely aware that if you don’t perform at 100% everyday you are jeopardizing your position.
Just checking out these videos because one of my boys that I know from my gym is a former ranger, smoking big weed now that we out tho. I was just artillery, fat and strong
Two paths to becoming a Ranger: (i) complete Ranger School or (ii) join the 75th Ranger Regiment. Doing either makes you a full-fledged "Ranger." As per the US Army Ranger Association (which is full of Regiment veterans), the Ranger Training Brigade (which is full of Regiment veterans), and a former CSM of the 75th Ranger Regiment, "Rangers" are people who EITHER graduated from Ranger School OR serve(d) in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Ranger School graduates are Rangers just as much as members of the Regiment. Someone in the Regiment who doesn't have a Tab can still be called a Ranger, but in no way are the only "real Rangers" the soldiers in the Regiment as some people have strangely and annoyingly been trying to say.
@@theotil9496 Right. So the Regiment vets in the Ranger Association, Ranger Training Brigade, Rangers In The Sky organization, and a CSM of the Regiment are all wrong because an androgynous fanboy who has neither a scroll or a tab said so? Gotcha. LOL. Everyone who earned a Ranger Tab is a Ranger. It just sounds stupid to say otherwise. People in the Regiment get a Scroll, they don't get to hog the title of Ranger.
@@JoelMcGuire-dv8wy Well, I'm basing my reply to the wikipedia page of each of those installations and every reply you will ever see in Quora, Reddit etc. I wasn't meant to offend you or anyone else. When you say Rangers you don't mean the Ranger School graduates. You mean the 75th Ranger Regiment also known as the Army Rangers. Those Special Operation soldiers are as follows: - 75th Ranger Regiment Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Company - Regimental Military Intelligence Battalion - Regimental Special Troops Battalion - 1st Ranger Battalion - 2nd Ranger Battalion - 3rd Ranger Battalion In Ranger School, anyone from the military can go as long as their command clears them. So, Army, Navy, Air Force personnel and I'm not 100% sure about the National Guard and maybe some civilians can also attend the school. Also, Ranger School can be attended from a selected military personnel around the world as long as they are allied with the U.S. and the Command cleared them to attend (NATO etc.). In order to be a Ranger and be called a Ranger, you need to go to the Rangers's selection program which is called RASP. Once you pass this program, you get into one of the 3 battalions of the 75th Regiment. RASP and Ranger School, are two different things. No one from the people with the Ranger tab (the people who completed Ranger School) is calling themselves Ranger. Because the actual Rangers, didn't just finish a 62 days school and that's it. The actual Rangers actually do physically demanding PT and special exercises everyday they are in garrison. In order to be promoted in the higher ranks of the 75th Regiment you need to go to the Ranger School and pass to get the tab or you will never be considered for a senior promotion. But if you don't aspire to be a senior NCO in the Regiment you are not required to go to the Ranger School. Every Officer that wants to be in the 75th Regiment needs to go have the Ranger School tab in order to be considered for the Regiment and once they get the tab, they are sent to RASP 2, the Ranger Regiment selection program for Officers of the U.S. Army. I hope this is clear enough for what I meant. If you need more info go to Wikipedia of the 75th Ranger Regiment and the Wikipedia for the Ranger School.
@@JoelMcGuire-dv8wy You are someone who wants to fight hiding behind a keyboard and the anonymity of the internet. I'm not gonna bite. Have a good day.
@@theotil9496 Wikipedia pages are user-generated that in no way change the established position that Ranger School grads get the same title of "Ranger" that Regiment soldiers do. This established position is on the websites of the RTB and USARA. This BS position on who's a Ranger has gotten out of control on Quora and Reddit (whose commentors likely are the ones who created the wikipedia content) because people that know better just stay silent, likely because the idea that the only "real Rangers" are Regiment members is so stupid. I'm not going to be silent about it.
Im debating to whether becoming an electrician or joining the army and become a ranger. I’m tired of not being able to do what I enjoy. I was raised in a military family. Dropped out of college.
The further along the special operations pipeline, the more specialized the training and mission focus. Rangers excel at raids, lightning seizures, and long range recon, search and destroy - almost all behind enemy lines and at night. Special Forces train foreign indigenous forces in guerilla warfare tactics and fight along side them. Delta Force is primarily an anti-terrorism response team but also use Rangers as support forces for other specialized missions. And Delta recruits from the top 1% of all armed services. All 3 fall under SOCOM, Special Operations Command, along with the Navy Seals, Marine Corp Force Recon and Air Force Special Operations Group (AFSOC). This is an over simplification, but covers the basics.

Damn E1-E5 within 1yr?
That's really cool. Does this only apply to folks in Ranger Regiment or other military members promote this fast as well?
@@1anre Went in as an E-2, and then 18 months to E-5. I was lucky and went through pre-ranger and ranger school as soon as I arrived at battalion and you were promoted to E-4 as soon as you finished ranger school. Ranger tab gives an automatic 100 pts, so that plus expert marksman, max PT test, you just need the board and PLDC and you are maxed out on points for E-5, just need an open slot. Same for E-6 pretty much.
My last year in the Army I did at Ft. Bragg in the 82nd, I met another guy there that pretty much had done the same thing, e-5 in 18 months, e-6 at 5 1/2 years and he did it there in the 82nd.
So it can be done outside battalion, just requires lots of motivation and a little bit of luck on the school slots.
@elcohetejpr oh ok. Makes sense.
Once you reached E5 that early(18 months), did you get bored and didn't really have any motivation to keep remaining in the army as you've seen almost everything within those ranks?
Did you try out for any SMUs or you left at E6 and just went into the corporate world ro work?
thank you for your service and describing the 'short version' of the process
I was really looking forward to this content, and it's really good to meet you over the camera. Do you have to say that I'm hoping for more for the series. I want to hear stories, I want to hear critical thinking breakdowns of specific situations. The whole " this is what this MOS is like" content has been done for decades. A lot of it by recruiters themselves. I think there's so many stories that are worth exploring, hopefully with guests, but you can take a metal citation and run with it. Ward Carroll does this fantastically on his channel, when he brings on a friend of his who turns out to be an admiral or somebody who shot down a mig, and they just chit chat for 30 minutes and it's fantastic content. I hope you take this constructively, I really want this to be awesome content that I can't wait to open up every time I see the thumbnail. Good luck!
I retired after 21 years in the Army (1991-2010) all as 11B and it started off at 2/75 and continued throughout that career field until retirement. With that being said, I can say that your explanation is probably one, if not the best, that I have watched. You don't over sensationalize or get too in-dept. I don't know you and don't recognize you, but then again, I am quite a bit older (hahah). With that being said, I am glad to see that you made it home from your deployments and your channel is growing. From one brother to another, I wish you and yours all the best. Sua Sponte!!
Great start! I'm looking forward to new content and the direction y'all take this sub-channel, for lack of a better term.
There are some really great authors putting out a stream of novels and stories that are Ranger-focused, and they often publish podcasts and interviews with the Rangers with whom they consult. It's fascinating - I hope these segments get to the same level of awesome!
Great breakdown and explanations. Thanks for the video!
I’m signing an option 40 soon, and I’m already pretty informed about the ins and outs of what that pipeline would look like up to actually getting sent to your regiment, but I’ve yet to find a video that goes so in depth, about all the aforementioned things as well as what comes next. Very very informative and helpful.
Old man now, but being a combat engineer and infantryman, served as both enlisted E-5 and officer 0-3, as well as a qualified Airborne Ranger (class 9-87) I can't describe how important being a Ranger has been in my life. I was never in the Regiment but greatly admired and respect all of the literally hundreds of soldiers I knew that did serve in the regiment. I am sure I will get flamed for saying what I am going to say by Regiment guys but don't really care. To me, being a Ranger is state of mind and doesn't really matter if you are in or out of the Regiment and that is what is important. Rangers are expected to be the best in ALL they do, YOU set the example, just reading or hearing a tiny part of the Ranger Creed still fires me up almost 40 years later. You are expected to set the highest possible standards in all you do as a soldier and never, ever falter no matter how hard things get. As a leader, you are expected to fight smart and train, plan, rehearse and operate at the highest level of professionalism so no matter what you do you maximize your chances of success. You learn that your body and mind are much, much stronger than you imagine and that example you set makes ALL the soldiers around better by your presence and attitude. It isn't something you kind of do because they are paying you to do it, you literally become a Ranger in all you do. I left the army after 9 years but being a solider and a Ranger gives you such a massive advantage in the civilian world it is difficult to describe. Few civilians know or care if you served or how but when they see your commitment, high standards, ability to plan and shape situations and get things done you are ABSOLUTELY unmatchable by 99% of people that did not serve. I'm in my 60s and still wear a Ranger haircut, LOL. I have had my own firm for over 30 years and very successful and I attribute it to the values I learned as an soldier, army leader and Ranger. Life in or out of the Army is difficult that's life. The advantage you get from doing this is that no matter how tired, hungry, scared or confused I have ever been the ideals that are what being a Ranger actually means turn into this powerful energy you can feel inside of you and it gets you through. I literally often feel that when times are toughest that fallen Rangers look down on me from above and give me strength to maintain Ranger standards. I still carry myself as a Ranger in all I do, I have just been on TDY as a civilian for decades. Rangers Lead The WAY!
Hey Bob, first I wanna say to you " Sua Sponte" and if you still wear a tab in your heart, then you know what that means, I did spend 3 years in the 1st Bn 75 to 78 Ft. Stewart and HAAF in Savannah, And I didn't get to School until years later as an E-6 at Bragg in 82, Rangers are Rangers all in the heart & mind right RLTW !!!!
Great video. I especially like the part you described the "new guy" feeling in the Ranger battalion. So true....
i heard they actually changed it to going to Airborne AFTER (if you complete) RASP now b/c recruits were wanting to go airborne and the only way was with an Option 40 contract (Ranger contract) - so they were quitting after Airborne and before going to RASP...
thou, it'll *always* be RIP to me!
RLTW 1/75
Are you serious? Why were they doing that?
You're correct, I just spoke with a recruiter last week about option 40. You have to finish RASP before you see AIRBORNE. Like you said, too many people were bailing.
@@1anreliterally says why they were doing that in the comment
Thank you for you service, Luke Ryan.
Very much appreciated. My respect and appreciation are not enough expression of your service. Thank you.
If I am not mistaken I think they changed it around where you do not go to airborne until after RASP. If you fail RASP you immediately get sent to the “Big Army” loose your contract and Airborne is taking off the table.
11X with option 40.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
My son is in the process now. We thought the steps were the way this video listed the process but realized the switch.
They switched it because a lot of guys were signing option 40's just to go to airborne then quitting as soon as they got to RASP and wasting time and money on training so they swapped the order
Simply a good run through of infantry ranger life.
Would like to see what other specializations in ranger regiment's career path looked like too(medic, recce, intelligence, etc)
Alex! THANK YOU for posting this. I’ve always wanted you to do a dive into the world of SOCOM
Great video I serve in 1/75 and 2/75 love the life and learn a lot and retired in 96 Just cause veteran
Great breakdown brother
RANGERS lead the way. Respect!
Excellent and look forward to more new content
Ranger 11-74 -- I became unbelievably superlative with a map and compass for land navigation -- give me a map, and I am MAGIC!
It is humbling, being such an expert at something which is now, thanks to technology, pretty much obsolete. (I won't mention the slide rule I kept, from high school chemistry class.)
Dude this was so exciting to watch
I believe in how hard they need to push you to see if you can make it through still in one piece why’ll your still at home. So they know as well as yourself knows you have what it takes to handle yourself on deployment.
RASP comes before airborne school because people were getting RASP contracts just for the airborne
Yea they started that in 18 I think. I went to osut in 16 and it was still airborne first.
How has that shaped the pipeline of people going into airborne school now, as other units send people to airborne school without sending them to an equivalent of RASP first.
Seems one-sided
don’t they have an option 4 to prevent that?
When did they start doing that? I went through in 06 and volunteered after jump school. Just wanted to know when they did that.
@@AnthonyBerardis-r1p Idk but you can get an airborne contract and volunteer for rasp after that’s a better way to go so you at least have airborne
Love these videos! Looking forward to the next one.

ManPower Great Stuff. Army Rangers Lead The Way 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing and thank you for your service.
When I attended RIP in 1988, they had a cadre visit Airborne school and would sign up volunteers if you met all the requirements. However, if you quit or failed, they could assign you to any unit in the Army.
You have to love any & all extra Sandboxx content.
School names/training names have changed, but alot hasn’t. I went to Ranger school in 1976, then to 1st battalion, then at Fort Stewart, Georgia. We had one vehicle, the Colonels jeep. No Strykers or other kit.
LOL...Is that Sgt. Rogers of C CO? RIP? RASP? Back when I served in C CO, 1st Battalion (77-79) they just threw you in with the hard-core. Basic/AIT/jump school/Ranger Battalion. You swam or sunk. If they thought you were ready, and that took awhile, they sent you to Ranger School. Good video for today's recruits. Comparing 70's to today's Rangers is pointless. 2 different missions and loads more technology. PT is the same, apparently 😂. Rangers do lead the way...make it and you'll never face anything more mentally challenging or rewarding. Sua Sponte!
Yep, Black Berets and OD fatigues with jungle boots, in those old red brick barracks 700 block, back when Stewart was almost empty, just us and those Nat Guard punks every weekend, Hinesville was a lonely po dunk town then, big move to Hunter was what we all were happy about, Sua Sponte then & now RLTW!!!
@way75mit9 Remember half the buildings on main post were still wooden relics from WW2? 🤣 The in process was on the other side of the post in those cinderblock buildings. The start of deployments by truck up to Hunter to load C141's. Those were the days.
@@jste363 Yes sir, Taylor Creek drop zone and Camp Oliver rip, the good old days, M-16 and C130 jumps almost all at night, Don't remember making any daylight jumps until I went to the 509th in Italy, RLTW !!!
A wonderful introducing video about the US Army Ranger ..
I want to be a ranger if our country enters a major operation. I’m currently an electrician but with the way the world is going I can’t sit idly by and watch from the sidelines.
Great video please make more!
America's first special forces. The US Rangers were created, trained and advised by the British Army Commandos in 1942 Achnacarry Scotland. The 1st and 29th Rangers were born. Direct copies of the Commandos. These later used their new Commando skills to create the 2nd and 5th US Ranger Battalions in 1943 who participated in D day. "Ranger" was selected because of the British colonial Rogers Queens Rangers (Scottish border Rangers). 8 British advisors accompanied the US Rangers at Point Du Hoc aswell as 3 SWANS. The later US Green berets, Marine Raiders, US Seals/OG all trace their heritage back to the Commandos. US DELTA force was later modelled on the SAS 🇺🇸
Actually the US Army Ranger lineage is traced back before the founding of the United States. Major Robert Rogers, to be exact. There have been Army Ranger variations that have fought in every single American war. Every Ranger know their history ☀️⚡️⭐️
SF = Green Berets go back to WWII - FSSF = Devil's Brigade and Delta started with SF - Col. Beckwith which came out of Vietnam's MACVSOG & SAS....
They were called Rangers but fundamentally were different in every way. Regiment loves using this though even though they know it's inaccurate. The first special forces were closer to SF or an Agency team than anything like Ranger Regiment today.
@@SmokyOle Yes exactly. Highly innacurate as for the reason your mention. 1942 was when they were born. No "Rangers" were in use until then.
@@tedfio1tedfio1 "Green berets" started with the Commandos in WW2. The Army Commandos. US version of green berets were 1950s.
Outstanding video!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to future videos.
God bless and protect our service peroneal from those who wish to do Us harm. God bless you ( little Avie) hope you are well, and all who are in the service. 10/25/2023 I haven't talked to my dodder for years now. All I can think of somedays is I pray for you.
RIP was the real (1st) selection. Staying in Bat is the marathon
Excellent
Great presentation and breakdown. My son graduates high school in 2025 and is going to enlist, hoping to get an option 40 contract. RLTW!
People here dont seem to understand the difference between RASP and Ranger school. Ranger school is where you get your ranger tab, RASP are ranger school graduates who strive to join a ranger regiment. Two completely different objectives. You dont wear the tan beret after ranger school, you wear it after RASP.
God i hated BCT i can't imagine it getting harder. 😅 I know some dudes who did infantry and went on to doing rasp and some of them did go onto being rangers but god damn the time it took was insane. I had gotten my associates degree and was working on getting a civilian job for when i discharged and got out this guy was STILL working on his training that you described.
God bless and Thank you u for the advice to how to become a ranger I'm 20 years old I really manifesting to be a ranger my plan is to join the military 🎖️❤
thank you for your service
Really enjoyed this!
Thank you Sir !
Thanks for giving those civilian's a slight taste of how it is. Nobody understands until the shit hits the fan. Take care brother, and try and do one on Pathfinder, or JFO life. Shit is fun, hard, scary at no time, just thirsts for more. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!.

Thx for your service 🙏
Yeah I thought everything before ranger battalion was hell... then I got to ranger school. Lots of thinking you're the shit when you enter into your contract but they will put you through so many different cycles and levels and break down that ego big time. But the feeling of getting through it all and finally being a REAL active ranger is fucking amazing. I'd put it beyond becoming a seal honestly
This was a amazing video
went through rip in summer of 79, grad 4/80 rgr class
Back when it was hard. RIP September 81, Ranger class 10-82.
Thank you for your service, suberb video kind sir.

I went 88N woo..😂 BUT! No joke in 2007 when I went in the way and who the D.S. were a lot of buddies including my self should have been going down the pipeline. I did get airborne offered right after ait so a little backwards. If I knew the 75th had 88s maan..I would have said whoa whoa that's where I'm going! Much love brother!
Great work
Great video. When you went through RASP, did you notice if there was a higher rate of success among those who went to Ranger School before RASP versus those who did not?
That was freakin great!
Back when I went thru i went in on a ranger contract but had to go thru FTU(IT was basically RIP before rip😂) then basic/osut then airborne then rip then 1st batt but during ranger school we went thru 4 phases Merrill then mountain also in ga the swamp/Darby at Eglin then to DUGWAY (a nightmare) when did it get cut to 3?
Thanks
That bit near the end. I served in the Royal Australian Navy and we were told in recruit school 35 years ago, “Once a Pusser, always a Pusser.” Pusser is a nickname for sailor. This stuff never leaves you. I spoke to a much older veteran not too long ago and told him I was ex-navy, and his reply was, “There’s no such thing as ex!”🤣

great video
Very honest, well done video. Lessons I learned in 1st Bat have followed me all the days of my life. I’m eternally grateful
A green beret I know says rangers are like the training course/pre-req to the higher teirs such at GB.
That sounds like someone who is blowing smoke up your ass. Rangers (Regimental) literally run two separate courses, with some similarities to earn the scroll AND the Tab. It is the only SOF Unit that has Tier 1 & 2 units. Our Tier 1 RRC (RRD) had a completely separate pipeline as well and selection within Battalions is extremely rigorous as well. Each SOF units selection and pipeline is different and for very specific reasons. No one unit is a pre-req to the other. I've seen my fair share of guys washout of Q course who's ego thought they were better than everyone else. And I've seen GB and Delta Force Operators not make time on our two obstacle courses, Darby Queen and Malvesti...
Thank you 🫡
Rip in peace my little bro 82 airborne fort benning ,
Really great content I appreciate the alternate type of content!
I have one question for you and that is, "do you think it would be possible to include the position of being CCT"?
(sorry my writing and punctuation skills truly suck).
Possibly also include different positions within the SEALs without giving away classified info?
First let me say that I would really like to hear some of the experiences both individuals have gone through and possibly where they are in life today.
These experiences I truly believe make a individual a truly unique individual and someone to aspire to be one day. I don't know of any better recruitment material that is presented truthfully with all the dangers and what-if's! I think that compiling all these together would truly show the immense valor that our troops aspire to each and every day even when they become civilians...
God bless all those who have safe-guarded our freedom and our rights as U. S. citizens
Now they go to RASP before airborne if they have option 40.. 👍🏼
When I went through it was RIP in 06. When did it change? And we weren't taught shit in RIP like explosives and the cool guy stuff. That 20 days was just physical bullshit to get rid of people who really didn't want it.
Yep, RIP August 81, 1st Bat. Just to weed out the quitters. And many did.
@@SaundersE5 we had 2 guys quit in formation for the school. They told us to put our hats over our faces and really think if you want to be here. I couldn't believe it when 2 of them left. 😂 Rangers lead the way!
@@AnthonyBerardis-r1pevery Monday in RIP we did airborne ops all day and night. They’d ask at Monday morning formation after chow who wanted to quit. Some did, each Monday. Guess it wasn’t for them.
@@SaundersE5 I actually had a tabbed ranger in my airborne class. He was the only 1, but I couldn't figure out how that happened.
I am not sure if this is a general rule, but I have read a few books about people in special forces (e.g. Inside DeltaForce).
What those books had all in common: The authors said they never doubted they would get into whatever special United they wanted to get in.
They always knew they would make it.
So I'd say: If your mindset is "Do I have what it takes to be a Green Beret / Seal / whatever?" - you probably don't.
Your mindseht should be: "Of course I have what it takes, no question about that"
I'd love to hear thoughts of people who are in this kind of units. Am I correct?
The people I knew who “knew they would get in” were the first ones to quit. I think a common feeling is that you don’t feel like you are good enough and need to prove that you deserve to be there everyday. So while you don’t necessarily doubt yourself, you are acutely aware that if you don’t perform at 100% everyday you are jeopardizing your position.
How long is all the training and schools usually take?
OSUT-22weeks. rasp-8weeks. Airborne-3weeks.
@@jonahproctor1385 thanks man🙏🏻
Just checking out these videos because one of my boys that I know from my gym is a former ranger, smoking big weed now that we out tho. I was just artillery, fat and strong
Even more in depth would be great.
So with the U.S. no longer in Afghanistan, and troops no longer engaged in combat-style wars.. what do Rangers do with most of their time?
Two paths to becoming a Ranger: (i) complete Ranger School or (ii) join the 75th Ranger Regiment. Doing either makes you a full-fledged "Ranger."
As per the US Army Ranger Association (which is full of Regiment veterans), the Ranger Training Brigade (which is full of Regiment veterans), and a former CSM of the 75th Ranger Regiment, "Rangers" are people who EITHER graduated from Ranger School OR serve(d) in the 75th Ranger Regiment.
Ranger School graduates are Rangers just as much as members of the Regiment. Someone in the Regiment who doesn't have a Tab can still be called a Ranger, but in no way are the only "real Rangers" the soldiers in the Regiment as some people have strangely and annoyingly been trying to say.
People with the Ranger tab, are not Rangers.
@@theotil9496 Right. So the Regiment vets in the Ranger Association, Ranger Training Brigade, Rangers In The Sky organization, and a CSM of the Regiment are all wrong because an androgynous fanboy who has neither a scroll or a tab said so? Gotcha.
LOL. Everyone who earned a Ranger Tab is a Ranger. It just sounds stupid to say otherwise. People in the Regiment get a Scroll, they don't get to hog the title of Ranger.
@@JoelMcGuire-dv8wy Well, I'm basing my reply to the wikipedia page of each of those installations and every reply you will ever see in Quora, Reddit etc. I wasn't meant to offend you or anyone else. When you say Rangers you don't mean the Ranger School graduates. You mean the 75th Ranger Regiment also known as the Army Rangers. Those Special Operation soldiers are as follows:
- 75th Ranger Regiment Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Company
- Regimental Military Intelligence Battalion
- Regimental Special Troops Battalion
- 1st Ranger Battalion
- 2nd Ranger Battalion
- 3rd Ranger Battalion
In Ranger School, anyone from the military can go as long as their command clears them. So, Army, Navy, Air Force personnel and I'm not 100% sure about the National Guard and maybe some civilians can also attend the school. Also, Ranger School can be attended from a selected military personnel around the world as long as they are allied with the U.S. and the Command cleared them to attend (NATO etc.).
In order to be a Ranger and be called a Ranger, you need to go to the Rangers's selection program which is called RASP. Once you pass this program, you get into one of the 3 battalions of the 75th Regiment.
RASP and Ranger School, are two different things.
No one from the people with the Ranger tab (the people who completed Ranger School) is calling themselves Ranger. Because the actual Rangers, didn't just finish a 62 days school and that's it. The actual Rangers actually do physically demanding PT and special exercises everyday they are in garrison.
In order to be promoted in the higher ranks of the 75th Regiment you need to go to the Ranger School and pass to get the tab or you will never be considered for a senior promotion. But if you don't aspire to be a senior NCO in the Regiment you are not required to go to the Ranger School.
Every Officer that wants to be in the 75th Regiment needs to go have the Ranger School tab in order to be considered for the Regiment and once they get the tab, they are sent to RASP 2, the Ranger Regiment selection program for Officers of the U.S. Army.
I hope this is clear enough for what I meant. If you need more info go to Wikipedia of the 75th Ranger Regiment and the Wikipedia for the Ranger School.
@@JoelMcGuire-dv8wy You are someone who wants to fight hiding behind a keyboard and the anonymity of the internet. I'm not gonna bite. Have a good day.
@@theotil9496 Wikipedia pages are user-generated that in no way change the established position that Ranger School grads get the same title of "Ranger" that Regiment soldiers do. This established position is on the websites of the RTB and USARA.
This BS position on who's a Ranger has gotten out of control on Quora and Reddit (whose commentors likely are the ones who created the wikipedia content) because people that know better just stay silent, likely because the idea that the only "real Rangers" are Regiment members is so stupid. I'm not going to be silent about it.
Could you add a chapter about RRC?
Im debating to whether becoming an electrician or joining the army and become a ranger.
I’m tired of not being able to do what I enjoy.
I was raised in a military family.
Dropped out of college.
Be an electrician.
so what are the differences between Ranger, Green Beret and Delta force?
The further along the special operations pipeline, the more specialized the training and mission focus.
Rangers excel at raids, lightning seizures, and long range recon, search and destroy - almost all behind enemy lines and at night.
Special Forces train foreign indigenous forces in guerilla warfare tactics and fight along side them.
Delta Force is primarily an anti-terrorism response team but also use Rangers as support forces for other specialized missions.
And Delta recruits from the top 1% of all armed services.
All 3 fall under SOCOM, Special Operations Command, along with the Navy Seals, Marine Corp Force Recon and Air Force Special Operations Group (AFSOC).
This is an over simplification, but covers the basics.
@@elcohetejpr thank you so much for the summary
Figured I’d ask on here if anyone knows whether or not you can join the rangers with prescription glasses?
RASP is now before airborne school
Great video! One question; if you are not in the 75thRR can you remain a "Ranger" in combat?
if i join as 11A,12A,13A where would i be in the regiment like would i be able to go on missions or would i stay back when deployed
This kinda makes me wish I switched to the army after I got out of the marines 😅
