I served 5 years and was stationed in Fort Hood Texas as a 11-Bravo Infantryman and what you mentioned in this video is very similar to my old unit. In 2009 after I got back from Iraq there were a few slots open for ranger school and i was one of few guys that raised my hand.

That month was actually my 21st birthday and I went out on 6th street in Austin and tried 21 shots of tequila. Next I remember waking up in a hospital with alcohol poisoning. That Monday morning I had to report to my platoon sergeant and he informed me that I would no longer be going to ranger school.

It sounds like the Rangers are doing the day to day business more like how it is done in a SF group regarding things like time management, efficiency, and getting some down time for the men. This is the best way to do business- ensure tasks are done to proficiency and give the men some chill time with family, or just to not be bothered for a pause. This is what keeps people motivated and wanting to be there. You burn people out and they will look for a way out, whether it is going to a different unit, a different position, or just leaving the military completely. Something to take a hard look at in units where continuity in personnel tempo with such a huge investment in training and in the people in general is the most valuable asset.
@@michaelgrogan9340 You guys did range week carrying full cans of 5.56 to the flat ranges doing CQM until each hooah had burned through 500-1000rds a day, then did mechanical, shotgun, and explosive breaching ranges, then into the shoot houses with flash grenades day/night after rotary wing insertion?

I have my tab airborne an air assault an just picked up spc and when I’m back from my rotation from Germany there’s going to be a comp to see who they’ll send to rasp debating on trying out and sending it or hanging back till I learn more about my job
Hey. What type of deployments are rangers now a days going on? It’ll also be cool if you can do a video on who should or should not try out for the regiment. Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m interested in going ranger myself
I'm not going to talk about current deployments, but I will say they are few and far between right now with Afghanistan closed. But that shouldn't be a huge determining factor as really no one else in the Army is getting them.
I was in 1st Bat August 81 - September 83, I guess it was a different time. All of our Plt. Sgt’s were Vietnam vets. RIP sucked, being new in the company you got hammered, you worked hard to show you were deserving of a spot in Ranger School. When it was your turn you had best graduate or else. Those Vietnam vets brooked no bullshit. But that was before Regiment.
Hey Allred, was scrolling through YT and saw this, didn’t realize until the video started playing that it was you. We went to basic together, just wanted to stop in and say hope all is well, best wishes on the YT/podcast grind, and the long hair and beard suits you better than the shaved head I saw you with last. Take care bud.
I like how he just broadly stroke at probably the main things that I say would give young dudes some worries I’m not a Ranger yet I’m going to rasp in a few months, February can’t wait.
@@zachthedangerrangerroger that. Die trying sounds more appealing honestly only thing I’ve really ever quit was dipping booze nd my job so I could get ready to do this deal. Thanks for the advice tho bubba.
I'm in AIT as a 68w currently and hoping to get an opportunity to put in a packet for RASP at airborne school in a month or so. Would medics be on the same schedule as 11b for training stuff? I really like the way it sounds in this video and I want to do the hooah shit lol but idk if medics really get to focus on room clearing and stuff as much or if we just train medical stuff for the most part
How does this compare to the train up cycle before a combat deployment and the refit phase after a deployment? If you can't answer that too much that's not a problem.
This rotation of weeks applies to both pre and post deployment phases, with varying degrees of intensity. The only exception is for the two separate periods of block leave immediately after deploying and immediately before deploying.
I just want to say in my opinion that if you’re trying to get into the soft community and you wanna know every little detail about every little thing then I can honestly say I don’t think you’re gonna make it through selection I’m just my own personal opinion but I do appreciate this man’s content it is very informative
3 months of deployment, followed by 6 months of training constantly. Not family friendly but can be done. Certainly is a younger man game. With older leadership running the company keeping the machine well oiled.
Don't quit lol. If you don't have the Option 40, you're going to need to really crush OSUT to pick up a slot from the Ranger Recruiter when they come around.
Would you recommend the Ranger route for a 27 year old? Seems like it's more of a young man's game. I'm not old, but definitely above the average. I've heard life as a private can be tough.
Sup man, Ill be 26 with a Bachelors Degree by the time I pick up my Option 40. Just one year behind you. Honestly, id say if you truly want it, youd tough being a Private out till you get that tab on your shoulder.
If you're fit and aspire to be part of something that's truly great drop a packet Make sure you can surpass the pt test standards and more 58 pushups, 69 situps, 40minute minimum 5 mile, 6 strict chinups Keep in mind this is the bare minimum, try to strive for 300 apft standards and less than 35 minute 5 mile, And also keep in mind that it's the easy part of Selection, make sure you can run more than 6 miles Other than that do research and drop a packet
@@notinteresting1495 been doing the research about the job and Ik I could pass the pt, are there still good deployments, I got out of the mc because deployments stopped being deployments and training stopped being as fruitful because of it
@@gurt3036 I just got out, deployments aren't really a thing right now, they're more like "training rotations." Training was still good but a lot of people get complacent because it's peace time. It's worth it if you just don't want to have a boring life, if you want a combat deployment you could try to get into Ukraine's foreign volunteer unit.
@@michaelgrogan9340 it sucks my first deployment was real deployment really leaning towards re-enlistment and then after everything seemed like a complete 180
What about dudes that transition over to Regiment after a few years? Ex. Marine/Soldier on their second enlistment as an E4/E5 I would imagine they get treated like the Privates do, I reckon it's only fair to earn their spot regardless of where they came from. Just curious because I can't find info on this anywhere.
If you plan to stay in Regiment, it's expected that you get your Tab when you're a PFC, no later than E-4. Most EMs are given orders to go to suck school within their first 18 months in Battalion. It is expected that you will return with your Tab, unless you got seriously injured. I knew quite a few PFCs who were RFS'd, and a lot of E-4s who were RFS'd, released for medical, or UCMJ. All the E-4s were Tabbed. They boot out Tabbed Sergeants as well.
You need your Ranger tab to be able to hold any position of leadership in a line company. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis for soft-skill MOS's, but even then it is incredibly to nigh impossible to advance within the unit without it
Question: my son is 12 minths into his FDS (TOG, Ft Myer). He's earned his Expert Marksmanship (2x) and the EIB. Interested in Ranger School (TOG doesn't release many for RASP but does send guys to RS). Is this a good path for him? And if he earns the Ranger tab, how hard is it to request the 75th as his next duty? Would he have to go to RASP?
I’m trying to enlist 11x option 40 and leave by the end of this year but I’ve been struggling to bring my 2 mile time down, I’ve done a full running program and run just about every day at full effort but can’t get faster than around 13:45. I feel stuck and don’t know if I should delay to get faster before leaving
No, I wouldn't delay. Keep up the running routine to the end of the year; you have the entirety of OSUT to get through before RASP and you will be running a ton there too
i would look at your running form, it also could be a number of things. your running program, hydration/ nutrition. idk if your over trainning but its also possible. I realized I was over training before I changed up my program. idk what program your following but soflete helped me beat that barrior to sub 40 mins on my 5 mile. and hit the low 13's.
@@invisiblechicken1682 No such thing as a half send! Tony Stark up there in the thread also has good advice; make sure not to break yourself before you even get a chance to try

Hey does anyone know how it works for physicians coming out of BOLC sense I’m direct commission? So I was trying to find someone that knows what I need to do or who to talk to try out for the regiment?
@ZYTOKINE__ b.b Ranger Batt Surgeons are usually former enlisted SF 18Ds who went PA or MD route, specializing in trauma surgery, all through the Army. Same with Group Surgeons in SF and JSOC.
@ZYTOKINE__ b.b First off, past age 30 you can make the cut IF YOU WANT TO. Unless you are disabled in some way. That said, each Battalion will have a Battalion Surgeon (not really a Surgeon, per se; but the senior Medical Doctor). If you can't pass selection (which let's face it ... the senior level selection is easier than for the newbie shooters), then you cannot get the assignment. Also, you will not be kicking in doors or jumping onto airfields with a motorcycle and bag of grenades. That said, you will be far more tactically oriented than some pogue in the hospital. You will also be totally accepted into the culture of the Rangers ... if you make it. Also, a former Ranger Surgeon will get swift promotion inside the medical ranks because of your distinctive service (assuming you did well with the Rangers).
What? I just went. No pre-ranger, no train up. I recycled desert phase but got tabbed. I seriously don't get this. Cco 509th Pathfinders, HHC and Bco 1/75, and LRSD 101st.
Captains are Company Commanders in Ranger Batt. They certainly don't lead anyone through shoot houses. NCOs conduct all the training, while officers facilitate it through planning. Squad Leaders and Team Leaders run their elements through shoot houses, while Platoon Sergeants supervise for safety and correct TTPs from catwalks. Battalion is an NCO-run organization. Officers come and go.
@@LRRPFco52 thanks for the reply. What role did the captains play on deployments for the last 20 years. Would they plan missions then stay back? Or would they participate. Just curious, thanks for the insight
@@luigicastro6971 Depends on the type of unit, but in an Infantry unit or Ranger Regiment, a Captain will be placed in some type of Command and Control element managing the bigger picture. Company Commanders do a lot of longer-term planning and coordination with Battalion S-2, S-3, then working with their 1SG and XO for logistics, and then issuing orders to the Platoon Leaders (1st Lieutenants in Regiment, 1st and 2nd Lieutenants in regular Army). Unless that Captain came from being prior service enlisted, they are extremely inexperienced in most cases, with maybe a year as a PL before they went and did staff time waiting hopefully for a Command slot. In Ranger Regiment, they are way more selective about who gets to be COs of a Company, almost always the best PLs who were awesome PLs who came from outside Regiment before applying, then did really well as a PL in Battalion, before getting a chance to become Company XOs. Battalion is very keen on recruiting as much talent from within, so you see a lot of prior service 11 and 18 series guys who went the O route, then work their way into Command within Regiment. A PL who was a Ranger Qualified E-6 in Batt before going to OCS/IOBC/IBOLC is a totally different leader than a PL who came from Regular Army and doesn’t know much of anything. Platoon Sergeants in Ranger Regiment run the roost when it comes to Platoons, and command more respect than E-7s anywhere else I saw. PSG will tell the Platoon, “We got a new PL. Don’t talk to him unless he speaks to you. Don’t go near him. He’ll be gone in 12 months anyway.” It’s extremely difficult to land a CO slot over a Ranger Company. You have to be a cut above your peers and come with very high recommendations from other leaders within 75th. They don’t let incompetent leaders get in or stay. PLs and PSGs can be relieved on-the-spot for major eff-ups. Anyone can be booted. Regular Army allows and promotes incompetence, retards, criminals, and careerist turds who shouldn’t be allowed to serve at all in combat arms units. They dominate the NCO support channel in many units, unfortunately. In Ranger Regiment, you pretty much have to be a really good dude or you’re done.
Good Afternoon Ranger Allred. I hope you see this, I need vet publicity in defense of a Vietnam vet defraud ed by a business and used false pretenses to steal a vehicle that was sold by the same group effort that defrauds a Combat Vet. 100% disabled Army Medic from 44th Medical Detach. He's practically paralyzed and he was singled out as was I and I want the vet community to weigh in.
Yes they can; the main thing I see with 'older' dudes is struggling to adapt to the culture. Most of your leadership is going to be younger and more knowledgeable about the job than you, and some dudes just can't get over that fact.
Do you know much about non infantry rangers. I’m currently a 12b combat engineer and was thing about going the ranger route but I know it is an infantry heavy unit. Would I be doing my job to it’s full extent or I would doing pure support. Will I ever do ranger stuff
11Bs in Ranger Regiment are extensively and continuously trained in explosive, mechanical, and ballistic breaching at a level and frequency that exceeds any combat engineer unit. That's why there aren't combat engineer MTO&E slots in 75th that I'm aware of.
I remember when the first back in 1974 when the first ranger units were formed the first and second ranger battalions when was the fort Stewart Georgia Georgia and then the other one was that fort Lewis Washington😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Unspoken rule is if you have social media that you keep it private and don’t post anything work related. RUclips channel is probably fine if you’re not making content about Regiment while in. I waited till I was out to start mine and there are still some topics and events I will likely never discuss on the channel
Is 2/75 still known as '2nd Aryan' on Ft. Lewis, or is it a little less neo-Nazi these days? My first night there I had to listen to a soldier talk about how much he hated having an N-word as BN CSM (CSM H.R.). Then he talked about holocaust denial. Then a team leader (SGT N.L.) named his fire team 'Aryan Team'. Hispanic Corporal from AZ (CPL J.A.) didn't like that too much. I saw someone reading 'The Turner Diaries'. Then going to see 'friends' in Idaho (Hayden Lakes/Aryan Nations). One solider (SPC M.S.) was talking about having 'My Honor is My Loyalty' (SS motto) tattooed on him. The irony was lost on them that they espoused views which many of their predecessors died fighting on beaches of Normandy. Many of these soldiers had never achieved anything in life other than get through RIP (which was easy) and then their tab, and felt that a Ranger tab made them better than Delta and bullied and hazed people non-stop. I was RFS'd from that hellhole for LOM went down the road and did fine. Got out with my GI money and got an BS in Mechanical Engineering and never looked back.
He's being nice but I'll tell you what we're all thinking: RFS...that usually says it all. Also, RIP puts you in at about my time or earlier and I can attest that that is complete BS. COMPLETE BS. You just sound bitter. Oooooh, and it's apparent you're looking back.
@@mc.9839 Yes, I was RFSd and have no regrets and don't care that I was. I really don't. Life was much better down the road. On Ft. Lewis, I met others from 2/75 down the road who were quite happy to have been kicked out. I took my college money and ran. When I tell people that was former Army infantry and was on Ft. Lewis, no-one asks if I was a Ranger or got my tab, even other former infantryman.
@@opensource2063 I'll bet you were more happy. I'm sure it was easier and less challenging. That being said, you watched a youtube video about Battalion and made a bitter comment about you're time there. You can tell people you aren't looking back all you want but it's completely evident you're looking back. Seriously, it comes across as the bitter gf/bf that got dumped and goes around badmouthing their ex while telling everyone how happy they are and how well they're doing. People listening just nod their heads in agreement while thinkin 'suurrrree you are.' It's cool though. Do you.
@@mc.9839 Yes, it was easier and less challenging. No 'privates in hallways' crap or 'tab check' crap. Outside of jump pay, I still got paid the same, enjoyed being at work, put in less hours and didn't have four to a room, and still made some great friends. Don't get me wrong, there was some outstanding training in 2/75. Demolitions, marksmanship training etc. Pat Tillman can attest to the outstanding quality of marksmanship in 2/75. Three bullet holes in close proximity in his forehead. Although the Ranger Regiment isn't as good as covering up fratricide is it is at marksmanship. See Pat Tillman.
At what, picking up cigarette butts and being denied liberty? lol If they were better, then after 2014 the Corps wouldn't have all these boot NCOs and Officers.

@@zachthedangerranger the thing is people want to get their sandwich scroll.. So it is a factor to some people, I think you can understand that
Syria. That’s about it right now.
@@seeleagent Don’t forget about Africa
That was flipping well said! Who should be trying out for Ranger Battalion!
Hoorah rangers lead the way!!!!!💪🏼🇺🇸🦅☠️
Sounds like an average day in 1st battalion 506th 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Almost an Army fossil at this point...your colorful understatements were much appreciated...RLTW...The HAAF HUFF
I was in 1st Bat August 81 - September 83, I guess it was a different time. All of our Plt. Sgt’s were Vietnam vets. RIP sucked, being new in the company you got hammered, you worked hard to show you were deserving of a spot in Ranger School. When it was your turn you had best graduate or else. Those Vietnam vets brooked no bullshit. But that was before Regiment.
Get a haircut ya hippe! Sua Sponte
I wish SHORAD leg units worked this way, even in the famous 82nd Airborne Division needs to work this way.
Hey Allred, was scrolling through YT and saw this, didn’t realize until the video started playing that it was you. We went to basic together, just wanted to stop in and say hope all is well, best wishes on the YT/podcast grind, and the long hair and beard suits you better than the shaved head I saw you with last. Take care bud.
Shit man haha what’s up!! Been a minute. Hair is short now but the beard is still rocking!
Surviving Columbus, Ga is the real hard work 🤣🤣
True lol thank god I didn't go to 3/75
Awesome to see the channel growing
bruh lookin straight jedi in the velsys rugby shirt
thanks for the vids
I like how he just broadly stroke at probably the main things that I say would give young dudes some worries I’m not a Ranger yet I’m going to rasp in a few months, February can’t wait.
Don't quit!
@@zachthedangerrangerroger that. Die trying sounds more appealing honestly only thing I’ve really ever quit was dipping booze nd my job so I could get ready to do this deal. Thanks for the advice tho bubba.
ALL THE WAY BROTHER
SUA SPONTE
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
Can u go into more of the shooting side is and how seriously Rangers take on that aspect? Thanks for the info dude.
Can you speak on from what you’ve seen the life of an officer in regiment?
Officers, stay way from the away from the black chinook
I'm in AIT as a 68w currently and hoping to get an opportunity to put in a packet for RASP at airborne school in a month or so.
Would medics be on the same schedule as 11b for training stuff? I really like the way it sounds in this video and I want to do the hooah shit lol but idk if medics really get to focus on room clearing and stuff as much or if we just train medical stuff for the most part
Don't forget about the daily "pt" sessions lol.
How does this compare to the train up cycle before a combat deployment and the refit phase after a deployment? If you can't answer that too much that's not a problem.
This rotation of weeks applies to both pre and post deployment phases, with varying degrees of intensity.
The only exception is for the two separate periods of block leave immediately after deploying and immediately before deploying.
@@zachthedangerranger got it! Thanks!
I just want to say in my opinion that if you’re trying to get into the soft community and you wanna know every little detail about every little thing then I can honestly say I don’t think you’re gonna make it through selection I’m just my own personal opinion but I do appreciate this man’s content it is very informative
3 months of deployment, followed by 6 months of training constantly. Not family friendly but can be done. Certainly is a younger man game. With older leadership running the company keeping the machine well oiled.
Hey man, I'm 17 years old and aspiring to be a Ranger. I currently have an 11x contract. Any advise on my journey to ranger bat?
DON'T QUIT
Don't quit lol. If you don't have the Option 40, you're going to need to really crush OSUT to pick up a slot from the Ranger Recruiter when they come around.
Outstanding. You earned a tab that I wish I had
4/97- 26. . Keep doing what you do.
I miss the old days back at HAAF.
which velocity systems rugby shirt is that? Ranger Green or Coyote Tan?
Ranger Green!
Love all your videos man
Thanks for the video
Sounds like a day for Marine infantry, except we had formations every morning.
What do support mos rangers do? How’s their day to day and what’s their deployment like?
This is 100% accurate.
Would you recommend the Ranger route for a 27 year old? Seems like it's more of a young man's game. I'm not old, but definitely above the average. I've heard life as a private can be tough.
Sup man, Ill be 26 with a Bachelors Degree by the time I pick up my Option 40. Just one year behind you. Honestly, id say if you truly want it, youd tough being a Private out till you get that tab on your shoulder.
Would you say it’s still worth going in, I was a 0311 got out in May and really not liking the 1st Civ Div
If you're fit and aspire to be part of something that's truly great drop a packet
Make sure you can surpass the pt test standards and more
58 pushups, 69 situps, 40minute minimum 5 mile, 6 strict chinups
Keep in mind this is the bare minimum, try to strive for 300 apft standards and less than 35 minute 5 mile,
And also keep in mind that it's the easy part of Selection, make sure you can run more than 6 miles
Other than that do research and drop a packet
@@notinteresting1495 been doing the research about the job and Ik I could pass the pt, are there still good deployments, I got out of the mc because deployments stopped being deployments and training stopped being as fruitful because of it
@@gurt3036 I just got out, deployments aren't really a thing right now, they're more like "training rotations." Training was still good but a lot of people get complacent because it's peace time. It's worth it if you just don't want to have a boring life, if you want a combat deployment you could try to get into Ukraine's foreign volunteer unit.
@@michaelgrogan9340 it sucks my first deployment was real deployment really leaning towards re-enlistment and then after everything seemed like a complete 180
@@gurt3036 what time frame were you active?
What about dudes that transition over to Regiment after a few years?
Ex. Marine/Soldier on their second enlistment as an E4/E5
I would imagine they get treated like the Privates do, I reckon it's only fair to earn their spot regardless of where they came from. Just curious because I can't find info on this anywhere.
Great videos man. Did you ever work with British SFSG?
Thanks man. No, unfortunately I have not!
How would a corporal without a ranger tab be treated?
depending on MOS, you wouldn't be a CPL without a tab.
Former marine here, i have a question/possible rumor, will you get kicked out if you don’t get your ranger rab. I heard you’ll get performance dropped
If you plan to stay in Regiment, it's expected that you get your Tab when you're a PFC, no later than E-4. Most EMs are given orders to go to suck school within their first 18 months in Battalion.
It is expected that you will return with your Tab, unless you got seriously injured.
I knew quite a few PFCs who were RFS'd, and a lot of E-4s who were RFS'd, released for medical, or UCMJ. All the E-4s were Tabbed.
They boot out Tabbed Sergeants as well.
You need your Ranger tab to be able to hold any position of leadership in a line company. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis for soft-skill MOS's, but even then it is incredibly to nigh impossible to advance within the unit without it
@@LRRPFco52 damn thats a high op tempo unit good lord
@@zachthedangerranger thanks for the info and thank you for your service, been thinking of joining the rangers and you’ve been a good inside look.
@February_ Hey imma former jarhead in the same boat. Did you end up going? How is it? Im only 24 and I've been really bored since getting out.
I just had a question are there 92w’s rangers
Quick Question. I understand that rangers have platoons but do you also have a team you're assigned to so that you become familiar with them>
Does anyone know if regiment accepts religion accommodations, I currently have an accommodation to wear a beard, would that be allowed in regiment?
Question: my son is 12 minths into his FDS (TOG, Ft Myer). He's earned his Expert Marksmanship (2x) and the EIB. Interested in Ranger School (TOG doesn't release many for RASP but does send guys to RS). Is this a good path for him? And if he earns the Ranger tab, how hard is it to request the 75th as his next duty? Would he have to go to RASP?
I’m a specialist in big army and I’m about to go to rasp, what was your rasp experience like?
I’m trying to enlist 11x option 40 and leave by the end of this year but I’ve been struggling to bring my 2 mile time down, I’ve done a full running program and run just about every day at full effort but can’t get faster than around 13:45. I feel stuck and don’t know if I should delay to get faster before leaving
No, I wouldn't delay. Keep up the running routine to the end of the year; you have the entirety of OSUT to get through before RASP and you will be running a ton there too
i would look at your running form, it also could be a number of things. your running program, hydration/ nutrition. idk if your over trainning but its also possible. I realized I was over training before I changed up my program. idk what program your following but soflete helped me beat that barrior to sub 40 mins on my 5 mile. and hit the low 13's.
@@zachthedangerranger Suppose I must full send it
@@gray334 I’ll definitely check out soflete thanks
@@invisiblechicken1682 No such thing as a half send! Tony Stark up there in the thread also has good advice; make sure not to break yourself before you even get a chance to try
How are former 82nd guys accepted when arriving in the 75th?
The same as any other big Army guy showing up.
Really depends on how much they run their mouth about their time in the 82nd and how well they can integrate with and learn from their platoon
Is that a bandage on your head Ranger?
I am not sure what the average height is and I know that height may not matter as much, but do you or have you known anyone that was around 5' 5" in the regiment?
Yes! It's more uncommon but they do exist
Hey does anyone know how it works for physicians coming out of BOLC sense I’m direct commission? So I was trying to find someone that knows what I need to do or who to talk to try out for the regiment?
Definitely get in touch with a 75th Recruiter, they will point you in the right direction.
@ZYTOKINE__ b.b Ranger Batt Surgeons are usually former enlisted SF 18Ds who went PA or MD route, specializing in trauma surgery, all through the Army.
Same with Group Surgeons in SF and JSOC.
@ZYTOKINE__ b.b First off, past age 30 you can make the cut IF YOU WANT TO. Unless you are disabled in some way. That said, each Battalion will have a Battalion Surgeon (not really a Surgeon, per se; but the senior Medical Doctor). If you can't pass selection (which let's face it ... the senior level selection is easier than for the newbie shooters), then you cannot get the assignment. Also, you will not be kicking in doors or jumping onto airfields with a motorcycle and bag of grenades. That said, you will be far more tactically oriented than some pogue in the hospital. You will also be totally accepted into the culture of the Rangers ... if you make it. Also, a former Ranger Surgeon will get swift promotion inside the medical ranks because of your distinctive service (assuming you did well with the Rangers).
What? I just went. No pre-ranger, no train up. I recycled desert phase but got tabbed. I seriously don't get this. Cco 509th Pathfinders, HHC and Bco 1/75, and LRSD 101st.
What are the captains roles within the platoon. Are they joining the enlisted guys in training like shoot house etc
Captains are Company Commanders in Ranger Batt. They certainly don't lead anyone through shoot houses. NCOs conduct all the training, while officers facilitate it through planning.
Squad Leaders and Team Leaders run their elements through shoot houses, while Platoon Sergeants supervise for safety and correct TTPs from catwalks.
Battalion is an NCO-run organization. Officers come and go.
@@LRRPFco52 thanks for the reply. What role did the captains play on deployments for the last 20 years. Would they plan missions then stay back? Or would they participate. Just curious, thanks for the insight
@@luigicastro6971 Depends on the type of unit, but in an Infantry unit or Ranger Regiment, a Captain will be placed in some type of Command and Control element managing the bigger picture. Company Commanders do a lot of longer-term planning and coordination with Battalion S-2, S-3, then working with their 1SG and XO for logistics, and then issuing orders to the Platoon Leaders (1st Lieutenants in Regiment, 1st and 2nd Lieutenants in regular Army).
Unless that Captain came from being prior service enlisted, they are extremely inexperienced in most cases, with maybe a year as a PL before they went and did staff time waiting hopefully for a Command slot.
In Ranger Regiment, they are way more selective about who gets to be COs of a Company, almost always the best PLs who were awesome PLs who came from outside Regiment before applying, then did really well as a PL in Battalion, before getting a chance to become Company XOs.
Battalion is very keen on recruiting as much talent from within, so you see a lot of prior service 11 and 18 series guys who went the O route, then work their way into Command within Regiment.
A PL who was a Ranger Qualified E-6 in Batt before going to OCS/IOBC/IBOLC is a totally different leader than a PL who came from Regular Army and doesn’t know much of anything.
Platoon Sergeants in Ranger Regiment run the roost when it comes to Platoons, and command more respect than E-7s anywhere else I saw. PSG will tell the Platoon, “We got a new PL. Don’t talk to him unless he speaks to you. Don’t go near him. He’ll be gone in 12 months anyway.”
It’s extremely difficult to land a CO slot over a Ranger Company. You have to be a cut above your peers and come with very high recommendations from other leaders within 75th. They don’t let incompetent leaders get in or stay. PLs and PSGs can be relieved on-the-spot for major eff-ups. Anyone can be booted.
Regular Army allows and promotes incompetence, retards, criminals, and careerist turds who shouldn’t be allowed to serve at all in combat arms units. They dominate the NCO support channel in many units, unfortunately. In Ranger Regiment, you pretty much have to be a really good dude or you’re done.
Thanks for the solid response here!
After my BATT Days, I served in Germany. Joke, then Bragg. No Joke.
How’s the regiment for a 25U
Regiment always needs 25 series!!
Good Afternoon Ranger Allred. I hope you see this, I need vet publicity in defense of a Vietnam vet defraud ed by a business and used false pretenses to steal a vehicle that was sold by the same group effort that defrauds a Combat Vet. 100% disabled Army Medic from 44th Medical Detach. He's practically paralyzed and he was singled out as was I and I want the vet community to weigh in.
Can new recruits 32-35yrs old get accepted into the regiment once they complete the necessary requirements?
Yes they can; the main thing I see with 'older' dudes is struggling to adapt to the culture. Most of your leadership is going to be younger and more knowledgeable about the job than you, and some dudes just can't get over that fact.
I take it the extreme hazing has ceased? And, Hunter has a shoot house now?
Yeah but just for UTM/dry runs. Extreme hazing has been dead since like 2016
81-83 1st Bat the hazing was strong. Motivate you to prove yourself to get to pre-Ranger.
Am i the only one that thinks Danger Ranger looks like Chris Pine!?👀👍😁
I actually get this quite alot, especially when my hair and beard are shorter lol
What about life after the military? What skills do you learn as a ranger are applicable in the civilian world?
I'll definitely cover this later on!
Leadership, attention to detail, stress management. Basically upper level management jobs.
@danger ranger who makes that shirt? I dig the content

Why do they need such big guns? Are they hunting squirrels 🐿💥💥💥?
Do you know much about non infantry rangers. I’m currently a 12b combat engineer and was thing about going the ranger route but I know it is an infantry heavy unit. Would I be doing my job to it’s full extent or I would doing pure support. Will I ever do ranger stuff
11Bs in Ranger Regiment are extensively and continuously trained in explosive, mechanical, and ballistic breaching at a level and frequency that exceeds any combat engineer unit. That's why there aren't combat engineer MTO&E slots in 75th that I'm aware of.
@@LRRPFco52 There are engineers in Regiment. One of the latest posthumous MOH recipients was an E7 12B from 1/75 I believe.
@@94JesseRay It appears you are right. Looks like they have added a laundry list of MOSs to Ranger Regiment that weren’t there in the 1990s-2000s.

Nah you'll be alright, had several people in my platoon who didn't drink but still hung out/were DD's
Would u say u have time for family at all if in the battalion ?
If you’re married, at least you go home to them at night
Go Army!
what about for 68w, is it a lot different or similar?
It's going to be close to the same, although medics have their own medic specific training events/courses they have to complete
I remember when the first back in 1974 when the first ranger units were formed the first and second ranger battalions when was the fort Stewart Georgia Georgia and then the other one was that fort Lewis Washington😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Can a army ranger have social media like insta , RUclips channel ?
Unspoken rule is if you have social media that you keep it private and don’t post anything work related. RUclips channel is probably fine if you’re not making content about Regiment while in. I waited till I was out to start mine and there are still some topics and events I will likely never discuss on the channel

C1/75
C Co Weapons August 81-October 83. Back when it was hard.
Is 2/75 still known as '2nd Aryan' on Ft. Lewis, or is it a little less neo-Nazi these days? My first night there I had to listen to a soldier talk about how much he hated having an N-word as BN CSM (CSM H.R.). Then he talked about holocaust denial. Then a team leader (SGT N.L.) named his fire team 'Aryan Team'. Hispanic Corporal from AZ (CPL J.A.) didn't like that too much. I saw someone reading 'The Turner Diaries'. Then going to see 'friends' in Idaho (Hayden Lakes/Aryan Nations). One solider (SPC M.S.) was talking about having 'My Honor is My Loyalty' (SS motto) tattooed on him. The irony was lost on them that they espoused views which many of their predecessors died fighting on beaches of Normandy. Many of these soldiers had never achieved anything in life other than get through RIP (which was easy) and then their tab, and felt that a Ranger tab made them better than Delta and bullied and hazed people non-stop. I was RFS'd from that hellhole for LOM went down the road and did fine. Got out with my GI money and got an BS in Mechanical Engineering and never looked back.
Yeah I don't know anything about all that.
He's being nice but I'll tell you what we're all thinking:
RFS...that usually says it all. Also, RIP puts you in at about my time or earlier and I can attest that that is complete BS. COMPLETE BS. You just sound bitter. Oooooh, and it's apparent you're looking back.
@@mc.9839 Yes, I was RFSd and have no regrets and don't care that I was. I really don't. Life was much better down the road. On Ft. Lewis, I met others from 2/75 down the road who were quite happy to have been kicked out. I took my college money and ran. When I tell people that was former Army infantry and was on Ft. Lewis, no-one asks if I was a Ranger or got my tab, even other former infantryman.
@@opensource2063 I'll bet you were more happy. I'm sure it was easier and less challenging. That being said, you watched a youtube video about Battalion and made a bitter comment about you're time there. You can tell people you aren't looking back all you want but it's completely evident you're looking back. Seriously, it comes across as the bitter gf/bf that got dumped and goes around badmouthing their ex while telling everyone how happy they are and how well they're doing. People listening just nod their heads in agreement while thinkin 'suurrrree you are.'
It's cool though. Do you.
@@mc.9839 Yes, it was easier and less challenging. No 'privates in hallways' crap or 'tab check' crap. Outside of jump pay, I still got paid the same, enjoyed being at work, put in less hours and didn't have four to a room, and still made some great friends. Don't get me wrong, there was some outstanding training in 2/75. Demolitions, marksmanship training etc. Pat Tillman can attest to the outstanding quality of marksmanship in 2/75. Three bullet holes in close proximity in his forehead. Although the Ranger Regiment isn't as good as covering up fratricide is it is at marksmanship. See Pat Tillman.
