I have been in 2nd Ranger Battalion for almost six years. If any of you have questions about service in the 75th, RASP or Ranger School feel free to ask.
Actually I do, left the Marine Corps as a E4, did 4 years as an infantry squad leader, pt is great test scores are good. Went to Meps yesterday and failed the hearing test. Recruiting command submitted a waiver. Can I not get a option 40 with a medical waiver? If not how does the recruiting process take place for active duty guys? Like as an example if I take a 11x contract, do my time and try to get in the Ranger Regiment that way. My hearing is fine, I passed 2 hearing test from two govt agencies in the last month, Meps is retarded
I can't fully answer you because your question pertains more towards somebody who is in recruiting. My knowledge is of the 75th Ranger Regiment, not USAREC policy. However, you could likely enlist without an option 40 and generally during infantry osut, if you are a strong performer you can get a rasp slot. My only caveat is once you enlist, you no longer have certainty of anything except what is on paper. As a former marine, you should already know that though.
Thanks for taking questions. I've heard that a lot of Rangers say that getting into the 75th is the easy part, it's staying in that's the hard part. If I make it through RASP, any advice on what I should know before joining my unit.
That quote has existed for a very long time. It is true; RASP is the easiest part of being a Ranger. RASP 1 is geared towards junior enlisted privates fresh out of Basic/AIT/OSUT and Airborne School. At that level, you really don't know shit. RASP teaches you what you need to pass, and as long as you don't quit.. you should be fine. There are standards you need to meet as well. Coming to Battalion as a private used to be grueling. Until getting your Ranger Tab, you used to get hazed daily. The military has cut down almost entirely on hazing. You won't get your shit pushed in anymore unless you fuck up. You will also still need to get Tabbed before you can be in a leadership role or promoted past E-4 in combat MOS's. All this being said, our training cycles are very taxing mentally and physically. Our operational tempo is very high. This line of work burns you out fast, and yes.. you need to earn your Scroll everyday.
Usually if you can score an Airborn contract and lock that in you'll at least have the chance to raise your hand and volunteer for the third time for RASP at the end of airborne school, RASP cadre come to pick up all the options 40 cats and also ask for more volunteers. They can steal you from your unit if you complete the selection process. They have priority over every other unit and have the power to rewrite your contract if they select you to the pros. So if you can't get an option 40 ask for an airborne contract and at least have that, because it will open more doors for you like RASP. Be careful what you ask for you just might get it. Keep in mind, it is much easier to get into the 75th Ranger Regiment then it is to stay there. Getting your tan beret is not even the beggining, The beginning starts when you meet your squad leader and team leaders in your squad, then after they finish with you they turn you over to the tab spec 4's. These men become your brothers for life, and I'm not just talking the ones in your squad, I'm talking all Rangers past and present. RLTW!
I volunteered for 75th Regiment when I arrived at Airborne school that was the only option we had back then immediately after graduation we immediately loaded buses for RIP back when it was across from the airfield. 1/75th Cco
Guy I was in 11B my unit was 101st 1/506 you don't have to be a pt beast. When I went to ranger school I wasn't a pt beast but I had more heart then a lot of the guys in ranger school. I saw a lot of these pt beast guys fall out and fail. I wouldn't accept failing. Any one of you guys that want ranger go for it don't worry about being the most physically fit guy or how hard it is it's all in your mind. You can make it hard or easy in your mind. Don't accept failure.
101st are guys who think they can go regiment or released from regiment for standards or failed rasp or don’t have the balls to go ranger also this guy saying u don’t have to be fit is just trying to sown play regiment that’s not true at all u need to be in great shape one seen men dropped with 300 pt score in regiment because they weren’t in good enough shape so not true at alll
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx What? Lol. I really hope you are tabbed, scrolled or both to be running off at the mouth like that or even in for that matter. Also your reading comprehension level is obviously equal to a roach on cocaine as he was referring to RANGER SCHOOL not RASP and ASVAB waivers cant go to either anyways. He didn’t say he wasn’t in good shape he said a “PT beast” and idgaf I’m a fucking pt god and haven’t scored less than a 300 or extended scale since I’ve been in. What he’s trying to say is, no you don’t have to be in my kind of shape to pass Ranger School, matter fact once you pass RAP week the better you are at retaining information and employing the squad and platoon tactics the RIs teach you the better off you will be. Oh and btw the 101st is one of the most tabbed units actually right behind Regiment and won BRC (that’s the Best Ranger Competion which you more than likely didn’t know considering your diarrhea of the mouth complex) just this past year. Head back to the peanut gallery where you belong shit stain and stop trying to fuck with peoples goals just because you might be able to run fast and put up a little weight, ya fucking nerd.
I just swore in last Wednesday as a 13F Option 40. I went to MEPs fucking five times before finally enlisting. I had to switch recruiters and was DQ'd medically at one point, but still got an Option 40. Here is my best advice for MEPs. - Don't go to MEPs without an Option 40 Going to MEPs without an Option 40 will be a headache for you and your recruiter. Chances are you wont be able to get an Option 40 contract down at MEPs. 11x Option 40s are so damn popular. Wait until you can reserve an Option 40 before you go to MEPs. It may take a couple months. Be patient. If you go to MEPs without an Option 40 (like I did), your recruiter will try and force you to sign an 11B or 11x contract with no Option 40 and tell you that you can request for RASP when you are already in. Don't settle. I refused to sign anything than an Option 40 at MEPs and pissed off my recruiters, but eventually got my way. Your allowed to walk away without signing. You'll recruiter will fucking hate you, but don't settle. I became a QNE (Qualified Not Enlisted) two times. I refused to sign twice because I didnt get an Option 40 in my contract down at MEPs. -Do not get a medical waiver You cannot get an Option 40 (Ranger) Option 4 (Airborne) or 18x (Special Forces) with a medical waiver. A medical waiver denies you from testing for an Airborne Physical. The only way you can get an Option 40 with a medical waiver is if you passed the Airborne Physical before you got the medical waiver or disqualified. That was me. I passed the Airborne Physical and all medical tests my first time at MEPs, but I was DQ'd during my 2nd time at MEPs during my inspect for a tiny rash. The doctor thought I had eczema. I went to two dermatologist and got two doctors notes to send with a medical waiver. Luckily, it was approved and I had already passed the Airborne physical prior to my DQ. I recommend asking for the Airborne Physical soon as possible once you get to the Medical testing at MEPs, that way if anything does come up you'll already be Airborne Physically qualified. I went to MEPs five friggin times, so if you guys have any questions, just ask.
Anon Yes you can volunteer for RASP or SFAS at basic/AIT/airborne, but the chances you are picked are slim. Every damn infantry recruit will apply for RASP. I have heard of the Ranger liaisons picking 2/50 recruits who apply. All depends on the needs of the Regiment. It's definitely a gamble, you may not even see a Ranger liaison through ur training. If you go this route without an Option 40, you need to make sure you have a perfect APFT score. You basically have to be the best recruit physically and mentally out of everyone at basic or OSUT.
It is possible though to make it to RASP without an option 40. I met an active duty Ranger at a bar last week. He went In as 11x no option 40 and basically was a PT stud. He fucking killed it at basic/OSUT. Destroyed everybody In the runs and AFPT tests. Personally, I say hold out for an Option 40, but if you do have to go with no option 40 it's possible to make it to RASP, just a little harder.
do they ask specific medical questions like what medications did you take or where did that scar come from etc, also i was told to deny everything and act as if im perfect medically
The first time I took my son into the recruiter 2 months ago, we were told Option 40 was very hard to get, and almost impossible to get as an infantry MOS. We had resigned to taking an 11X spot if it opened up. Right after taking his ASVAB, they called him and told him that several 11X option 40's had opened up. We jumped on it! This was just last week. He leaves on Sep 5. RLTW!
Not true at all they would I made sure my team ran sub 35 min 5 mile time or else I would recommend them to be released i didn’t care I made sure my team was squared away and I definitely wasn’t the only one
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx so is it Regiment standard that every Ranger must run a sub 35 minute 5 mile or they will recommended to be RFS? Is this what you are telling me? I said not EVERY Ranger. I'm sure there are certain squad leaders that make it a standard. Edit: If you were in Ranger Batt then you would know more than me. I just had never heard that before from guys I have talked to.
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx Im with you I agree 100%. If you want to be a performer in a outfit like that I would want to be running MAX 35 min 5 mile on my worst day.
Love your video. Same track my boy (now a man) is taking. 11 xRay option 40 Airborne Ranger 75th RR. Love all my Military peeps who sacrifice so much for our freedoms. God Bless America!!!!
I have option 40 on my contract. My job is 92r which is parachute rigger. I start with Basic Training. Then I go to airborne school, third is RASP, and last is parachute rigger school. That is the order written on my contract.
Patrick They changed the process. Now it’s BCT, AIT, RASP then Airborne. Regiment got sick of people dropping out of rasp just trying to get airborne. 👍🏼
I locked in and enlisted for 11X OP40 on July 4th and ship out Sept. 5th. Cannot wait. I am so happy I autoqualified. I got a 91 on the ASVAB. This info helps a lot man, thank you for your time and service
@jaromet1552 got double pneumonia at RASP and got dropped, spent 4 years in the 82nd ABN DIV and now I'm in the National Guard finishing up my 8 year commitment. Got a little under 2 years left. Its been entirely worth it and now I'm 90% disabled and own a house thanks to the VA Loan. Tips on getting through basic: don't look like a bitch, and stay low
There is some really screwed up information in this video. - Since around 2006, candidates go to Pre-RASP and RASP before Airborne School. Regiment got tired of paying $50k per Airborne student when classes of 300+ RASP candidates showed up to Pre-RASP and half quit in the first week. But Regiment was still getting stuck with the bill. - Ranger School is not in the official pipeline. It can take 12-18 months for a Ranger to get a slot to go to SURT and then go to Tab School depending on how well they perform at their job. There have been Rangers who have done full enlistments and never been to Tab school. They either chose to keep deploying with their Brothers, didn't care, or simply didn't want to go. It limits your advancement and access to other schools and you'll never hold a leadership position in Regiment; but it has happened. - Everyone from E-6 and up goes to RASP 2, not just senior NCOs. And everytime you advance to the next highest leadership position, you get sent back to RASP 2 to make sure you are still up to speed on the basics. Regardless of rank. Only unit in the US arsenal that does this. - Not everyone that goes to RASP is a 'beast'. It's not about the best guy, it's about being the right guy. You can max on every single physical test and skills task, but if they simply don't like your face, you fail your psyche eval, you don't get your security clearance, your fellow candidates peer you out because they don't like you, or you just don't have the right attitude; you won't get selected. - Regiment needs and recruits for all of the following MOS's, not just the few mentioned: 11B, 11C, 11Z, 12B, 12H, 12R, 12W, 12Y, 13F, 13Z, 17C, 17E, 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, 25N, 25P, 25Q, 25S, 25U, 25W, 25X, 27D, 29E, 35F, 35G, 35L, 35M, 35N, 35P, 35S, 35Z, 36B, 37F, 38B, 42A, 56M, 68J, 68S, 68T, 68W, 68X, 74D, 79S, 88M, 88N, 89B, 91B, 91C, 91D, 91E, 91F, 91S, 91X, 91Z, 92A, 92F, 92G, 92L, 92R, 92Y, 94E, 94F, 94W, 94Y More info and to contact Regiment directly: www.benning.army.mil/Tenant/75thRanger/Recruiting.html - While it's your best bet is to hold out for an Option 40 contract before you ship from MEPs (even if it takes months), Regiment now has hot desks on most training posts in the US (since around 2015) and do a presentation and recruiting day for most AIT and OSUT classes. That's because so many folks quit RASP or Pre-RASP. If they don't have reps on your training post, email or call them directly at Fort Benning. They can change your orders remotely if your MOS is in demand and the timing fits a Pre-RASP intake. They are a very calm and professional team of guys. If they need your MOS and you are doing well in initial training and your general profile passes the sniff test; you'll get a shot. Regiment are almost always short handed. When I got to my (supposedly) 11 man squad, it was me, two other guys and my squad leader. Two others were away at schools and one other had been seriously injured. Regiment are never at full strength.
Not everyone that is a Ranger is the most super human beast. Not always the guys that are the strongest, fastest, and toughest to make it. Most of the time it's the right guy. You can finish RAASP and not be selected to be a Ranger.
Im sorry but dont listen to his advice about Ranger school, or any other elite school for that matter. You dont need to run a 31 minute 5 mile or be a pt god to make it through these courses, sure you need to be fit, but mainly you just need to have no quit in your heart and want nothing other than success.
Have either of you been through a course like Ranger school? I would venture to say no. Passing these schools have very resonable pt standards, pass the standards stay in the course. Being selected for a unit is a diffrent story, where pt scores, leadership capability and just your general charecter all come into play however thats not what i said. I said to pass the course. If you havnt been through an elite school dont make videos or comments about them.
CookieMonster13297 I went though rasp and passed in 2013, I attended ranger school in 2014 and passed after recycling mountain phase once. I can promise you not a single person who just met the standards graduated, rather it was the people who were maxing out the test. You have to remember almost the entire course is about getting your ass smoked and kicked for days on end. If you aren’t an absolute stud you are just another VW
I'm a 15W with option 40. Went to BCT at Fort Jackson and been in AIT for the last few weeks. I'm honestly terrified for RASP 😅 but this made me a little less terrified. Thanks man
Is it possible to sign an 11x option 40 contract straight out of high school and if it is how likely is it. I’m almost done with my sophomore year and I’m not sure what I have to do to expand my chances for an 11x option 40
Brett Appleby If you’re 18 it makes signing documents easier. Make sure you score above a 55 on the ASVAB. Make sure that your PT score is above 250, preferably 270. Make sure you’re doing your push-ups right and I mean RIGHT because if not you will hear 0 0 0 all day long which will lead to disqualification. Make sure you start your enlistment process when high school starts, but don’t let that be your only option. You’ll always have other routes like ROTC.
It's funny to me how many people ask questions that they could literally google in 10 seconds. LOL... Thanks for the videos! I'm about to graduate OCS and head to IBOLC in OCT. Not sure if I'll get the chance to go to Ranger School but the info is helpful.
Justus Hollifield should have gone air force with that score, bruh. Good shit, though. When do you ship? Or how long have you been in the Army if you’ve already graduated?
Alex R december, and my friend who got a similar scote is going into the airforce to be an aerospace engineer lmao. I couldn’t do it tho i dont wanna be defined by my brain
I heard that its better to try out for raasp later so that if you fail youll just go back to infantry but if you get the option 40 and fail rasp then they put you anywhere they want.
Good luck trying out for RASP later in your career. It doesn't happen often because the squad doesn't want you to leave. The VAST majority got there because of the contract.
Hey, thanks for the shout out and thnx for actually making the video. I gotta say though, I was a bit disappointed b/c I was not interested in the op 40 route per say (given that I've done my hwk since I plan on signing one); I was more interested in your literal view of the guys in the 75thRR. STuff like the 'no shits given attitude' (and btw, what do you mean by that? I mean, I know what those words mean, but I would imagine that regular infantry guys are like that as well right? Especially those from like other hardcore units like the 82nd? So, what's different f about the Ranger's 'no shits given attitude'?). You always do a great job covering the in-house side of things (the contractual side, the formal stuff). But see, I know what I need to know on that side. What's interesting are the anecdotes you drop on us here and there about Army life that are so interesting, raw, and piercing. Like the "rangers look all alike," or the lack of any black guys in the regiment. That's the stuff I wanted to hear about. In a future video, I would appreciate it if you could go over these kinds of stuff and your general impression about the regiment from the outside. And more about the kinda guys that make it.
Ah, okay , roger Im tracking what your saying now. However when I mean that "no shits given" there attitude towards anything tough is always fearless, like its already done as soon as they are told. They aren't to worried or scared of anything out there. However I haven't got to talk to many rangers except for maybe 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Although Ill make sure to drop some more information on rangers when I get some more info.
DAmn man, it's inspiring to see how on top of shit you are; I mean-damn, I leave my laptop for a sec and you've already replied to my comment! I can't believe you're in OCS and vloging. Any who, thanks for the clarification. Anecdotes like that give me something to emulate in my mindset and training as I prepare to enlist and join the regiment. So, yes, please drop some more info on rangers as much as possible! And less on rules and structure, and more about the demeanor, personality, mindset, and attitude of the guys. And really, the regiment in general. The regiment seems to me to be the most mysterious (as in, there is less info on it) unit in the military. There are a lot of books on the unit, SF, AWG, SEALs, Raiders, PJ, and infrantry units in general + a ton of former team guys out there who do interviews and podcasts...and I've noticed that among all these units, the 75th is virtually unspoken. I've found 1 book on the post-911 regiment (the reaper), and some good shit on SOFREP and that's about it! So yeah man, your input - even if, it's from an outsider perspective - would be priceless to me. Plus, I love the way you put things. No bull shit, personable, and to the point
Rip Red when he says they give no fuck rangers are like the grunt Frat bros of The spec ops community Who will smoke you out and feed beer down your throatregardless if you're legally aged to do so. There humble but they're not humble because they know they're good at what they do my brother was in 75th 2nd battalion
Haha the frat bros of the spec ops community? Hmm, there's an image of the regiment I've never heard of. But that's interesting. I've picked up on that element from here and there myself...but I guess i'll just have to wait till I make it in battalion to truly find out how things really are.
From what I have gathered, if this is a legitimate way, please confirm. You join the army, complete BCT, AIT, RASP, Airborne, and then Rangers School in that order, with the little things in between??
If you have the option 40 contract, you only go into RASP. That’s your ticket into the ranger batt. Basic, AIT, pre rasp if there’s not a class available, rasp, Airborne school. Ranger school you have to put in for that later
They did change the pipeline a bit since I was in but I’m 100% sure they wouldn’t change this ranger school is earned u need to prove ur self during ur first deployment if they like you they will send you to ranger school if they don’t u get released for standards
One thing that I noticed that wasn’t mentioned was if you keep your 75th Ranger scroll after you get out or not. I did find out that you do turn it in when you leave the battalion unless you were In combat with them. The you keep it as a combat patch. I was curious about this bec I didn’t see anyone with it after they got out. Great video man, love the energy. New sub.
This video was really helpful! My boyfriend just left for basic training this past week to fort benning under an option 40 contract. After basic training, he does AIT then airborne school and then RASP.
He's a PoG going to RASP he still has a chance to make it just his basic might not be as physically demanding as Infantry so that could hurt him . Wish him all the luck I start Pre- RASP tomorrow .
I was a 19D with the 3rd Cav. My Friend who just got out, I ETS'd about 3 years ago and am still Inactive reserve, My question is my friend was in for 6 years and there were rumors of him going to Regiment, so when I caught up with him he stated he was with the 1/75th, berore ETS'n I asked him what his MOS is now and he said 19D1V I asked him why he was not a 11 series and he stated he was OJT'd (on the Job Training) to 11B but he carries the mos of a Scout, Airborne Ranger, Does this make any since to you?, I asked him for his dd214 and he never showed it to me..Im just curios if mb he is Bullshitting me. I was thinking about rejoining cus civilian life sux for me. I know I will not have to go through Basic again and prob go straight to RASP. My question is if you are a combat mos and go to RASP do you then got to go to 11X school or do they just OJT you to Infantry, and you keep you MOS nomenclature like 19D but get the V, I heard the V is just for Ranger school. I did try to goggle this but cannot come up with a clear answer. Thanks so much for your service, and talking the time to reply. Scouts Out.
I've always wanted to go military, and just recently discovered option 40 and the rangers (like a year ago). Now I'm not the fastest, strongest, smartest guy out there, but I have the determination to go until the end. I do want to be a Ranger, I really do, but does it sound like the Rangers are for me? I currently train 6 days a week and am going through college for now.
Special forces selection never seemed to me like a physical brawn competition. For example the Guys I see going through RASP all those guys aren't super huge buff guys believe it or not. I was suprised to see how some are pretty skinny. Its all heart bro, believe it.
Sorry LT but I dont entirely agree with your opinion on this. Many Many guys have made it through RASP and Ranger school that were not "beast ". Desire and heart go a long way in completing these schools.
Spot on. The pass/fail standards definitely don't require you to be a "beast". They are also the easiest part of the entire process, it's just about how much bullshit you are willing to deal with and whether you continue to want it bad enough.
Jose Herrera from an infantry guy I can tell you right now the IOTV (improvised outer tactical vest) can be awkward on your body if you don't adjust it and fit it to your person or don't have the right size, in basic you get the old model ACU pattern and most likely a size too big or too small but at your unit you'll get one that for your size and your team leader or squad leader will show you how to set up your kit so you don't look like a POG
Ranger school is not hard,it's more mine game than anything,because I went through recond school in January 1976 and Ranger school in may 1977. Don't get me wrong its no cake walk you got to have that don't guit frame of mine and you can make it, you don't have to be able lift cars but you got to be in pretty good physical condition to make it. Back at the beginning of my statement i said it wasn't hard , let take that back its was kind of hard that i think of it.
Exactly! Loads of people would get their Airborne tab and drop out of RASP real quick haha. I'm going to BCT February and RASP in August as a 35M. 2020 is gonna be a good year!
Well the tab is mandatory for Combat MOS in the Ranger Bat . POGS don't have to get a Tab unless they're an Officer . Also I didn't score a 300 and I got an option 40 . So that's not true at all buddy you have to be mentally tough .
Funny how lots of people say that until they actually see combat... it’s not like COD. There are real bullets flying at you, you don’t know what around the next corner or behind the door you’re about to bust through. A lot of times you don’t know where you’re being shot at. It’s not all fun and games like on video games and movies.
BCT is inside of osut. Its basically your AIT and BCT put together so you would go to OSUT , than to your follow on schools i.e. airborne, air assault, rasp. etc etc
I’m a 9th grader thinking of joining The green berets. What’s the recommendation of taking this path? 18x or going through some other army operations such as the army rangers. I as well want to know how to train myself physically because I feel like I do have the mentality but physically I need work on that.
Don’t bother thinking about any of that right now. If you’re serious and committed, start training now. Even if you hate sports, join a team so you get the training. For your age, running 3 times a week with real effort will do you wonders over the next few years. I’d say when you get into your junior year start hitting the gym hard and really trying to get upper body strength, but don’t stop running. Eat healthy. Don’t even think about getting a contract and focus your time on preparing for anything.
You can go Army Rangers, a lot of Rangers go to Special Forces or Delta Force it really just depends on what you want. Definitely pay attention in school to do well on the asvab and train hard
@@sboat7264 hey I’m 16 and I should’ve started sooner but I want to prepare now , what should I be doing to get my upper body strength up ? And tips etc
@@phonkaddict2119 Don't worry about pushups, that will improve massively during OSUT on its own if you put the effort in. You'll be doing more than you ever could dream of at ft benning. (atleast for inf). Upperbody strength is not a concern unless you go in absurdly weak. Get to a point of being able to do 30-40 chest to ground pushups going in and you'll be fine, you can improve that massively over 6 months. The biggest thing is running. While you're there you dont have as many chances to run recreationally, have time to recover, etc. You run on their schedule not theirs, meaning the day after your 3 mile group run you could have a 8 mile ruck, so you cant push yourself as hard knowing you need the energy tomorrow. So just go in trying to be at a 15 min 2 mile pace. You have 2 years so you have plenty of time to achieve these goals. Biggest thing is nutrition. If you're even 10 pounds over weight your pushups and run times suffer massively.
@@phonkaddict2119 But to answer your question more precisely to improve upper body strength you just have to combine calisthenics with weight lifting. do a few days of only body weight workouts or maybe body weight with a weighted vest and do stuff like 100 pushups, 150 squats, 50 pullups as fast as you can even if it takes 40 minutes. then the next day or 2 days later go to the gym and lift weights focusing on upper body. but dont neglect your legs. stretch every day and try to run 3 times a week, making one of those days atleast 5 miles at a comfortable pace.
If you're not bullshit, can I email you and ask some questions. I want to be a ranger, currently working out heavy to get ready to walk in the recruiter station and make them want me. My email is ss4broly556@gmail.com. Thanks man
I have a question. I ship to basic soon but I don’t have Option 40 in my contract and my MOS is 11B. What are the odds that I will be able to become a ranger without it? Would you recommend I cancel my DEP contract before I ship out and sign up again so I can get it, or should I go with it and try to volunteer?
Hey, I'm about to take the asvab and I don't know what job should I take, I love infantry and I would love to be a 11x or 11b but I got a baby girl on the way and a wife, idk what would you recommend me?
11x is the only 11 series u can get bud so who ever told u 11b out of meps is lying to u and I’ll see combat with any job in regiment at least when I was in so if ur worried about ur wife and kid regiment ain’t for u cause than ur worrying about u not going home to ur wife and kid and than ur not worrying about your brother nxt to u
when they do the physical examination on you to see if you're fit to serve and they find something they can offer you a waiver like an excuse saying its okay that you have whatever condition it is you have
@@kidthndr2 You don't think it's a coincidence that so few Blacks ever make it in, while guys who are less athletically gifted & aren't even that good as infantryman still somehow pass selection? It's a Good Ol Boys club...
Recently I went to the meps, the doctor just touched my hand then straight up told me that I have a skin condition and I need to get a waiver. Growing up, I did not have any medical problems nor conditions, that sht was crazy. So eventually I had to get a letter from a doctor and my waiver was approved. But the thing is, I couldn’t get option 40 on my contract anymore cuz I got fked over by the meps doctor. Guess my only option is to wait till I arrived in unit.
Jon W it depends if theres slots opened i was just fortunate, you should ask your recruiter to keep checking for it and dont join until you have a slot available
Thank you, I've stopped working so I can dedicate as much time as needed to training and I still have over a month until I ship for OSUT. From there, as you know, it's Jump School, then RASP. If you or any of your viewers are interested Ranger Regiment has a 12 week selection prep workout on their web site.
Thanks. I've been training hard for the past few months and sill have another month and a half till I ship for OUST. Then, as you know, it's Jump School, and finally RASP. If you or any of your viewers are interested Regiment has a 12 week selection prep workout on their website. www.benning.army.mil/tenant/75thRanger/content/PDF/12%20Week%20Ranger%20Assessment%20and%20Selection%20Program%20Training%20Plan2.pdf
Yeah...he is. And you know why??? Because its his OPINION!!! And he said that at the beginning of the video. And if its his OPINION...he can say anything and be right. Details...pay attention to the...DETAILs. Bra. ps...red,black and green...ALWAYs.
I hear you but just because you cook in a kitchen doesn't make you a chef. You're half way there, go all the way and get your tab! I can't even see how you could do an enlistment in a ranger batt. and not get your tab. As regular infantry you had to get your tab just to be in the scout platoon.
I have been in 2nd Ranger Battalion for almost six years. If any of you have questions about service in the 75th, RASP or Ranger School feel free to ask.
Thanks will do.
Actually I do, left the Marine Corps as a E4, did 4 years as an infantry squad leader, pt is great test scores are good. Went to Meps yesterday and failed the hearing test. Recruiting command submitted a waiver. Can I not get a option 40 with a medical waiver? If not how does the recruiting process take place for active duty guys? Like as an example if I take a 11x contract, do my time and try to get in the Ranger Regiment that way. My hearing is fine, I passed 2 hearing test from two govt agencies in the last month, Meps is retarded
I can't fully answer you because your question pertains more towards somebody who is in recruiting. My knowledge is of the 75th Ranger Regiment, not USAREC policy. However, you could likely enlist without an option 40 and generally during infantry osut, if you are a strong performer you can get a rasp slot. My only caveat is once you enlist, you no longer have certainty of anything except what is on paper. As a former marine, you should already know that though.
Thanks for taking questions. I've heard that a lot of Rangers say that getting into the 75th is the easy part, it's staying in that's the hard part. If I make it through RASP, any advice on what I should know before joining my unit.
That quote has existed for a very long time. It is true; RASP is the easiest part of being a Ranger. RASP 1 is geared towards junior enlisted privates fresh out of Basic/AIT/OSUT and Airborne School.
At that level, you really don't know shit. RASP teaches you what you need to pass, and as long as you don't quit.. you should be fine. There are standards you need to meet as well. Coming to Battalion as a private used to be grueling. Until getting your Ranger Tab, you used to get hazed daily. The military has cut down almost entirely on hazing. You won't get your shit pushed in anymore unless you fuck up. You will also still need to get Tabbed before you can be in a leadership role or promoted past E-4 in combat MOS's.
All this being said, our training cycles are very taxing mentally and physically. Our operational tempo is very high. This line of work burns you out fast, and yes.. you need to earn your Scroll everyday.
Usually if you can score an Airborn contract and lock that in you'll at least have the chance to raise your hand and volunteer for the third time for RASP at the end of airborne school, RASP cadre come to pick up all the options 40 cats and also ask for more volunteers. They can steal you from your unit if you complete the selection process. They have priority over every other unit and have the power to rewrite your contract if they select you to the pros. So if you can't get an option 40 ask for an airborne contract and at least have that, because it will open more doors for you like RASP. Be careful what you ask for you just might get it. Keep in mind, it is much easier to get into the 75th Ranger Regiment then it is to stay there. Getting your tan beret is not even the beggining, The beginning starts when you meet your squad leader and team leaders in your squad, then after they finish with you they turn you over to the tab spec 4's. These men become your brothers for life, and I'm not just talking the ones in your squad, I'm talking all Rangers past and present. RLTW!
I volunteered for 75th Regiment when I arrived at Airborne school that was the only option we had back then immediately after graduation we immediately loaded buses for RIP back when it was across from the airfield. 1/75th Cco
Guy I was in 11B my unit was 101st 1/506 you don't have to be a pt beast. When I went to ranger school I wasn't a pt beast but I had more heart then a lot of the guys in ranger school. I saw a lot of these pt beast guys fall out and fail. I wouldn't accept failing. Any one of you guys that want ranger go for it don't worry about being the most physically fit guy or how hard it is it's all in your mind. You can make it hard or easy in your mind. Don't accept failure.
@@jaideepgaddam1623 no shit they are rangers. i think they even see the most combat.
CORNDOG AKA JDOG you have to do a lot of research ? There are like 50 different mos’s in the regiment
101st are guys who think they can go regiment or released from regiment for standards or failed rasp or don’t have the balls to go ranger also this guy saying u don’t have to be fit is just trying to sown play regiment that’s not true at all u need to be in great shape one seen men dropped with 300 pt score in regiment because they weren’t in good enough shape so not true at alll
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx What? Lol. I really hope you are tabbed, scrolled or both to be running off at the mouth like that or even in for that matter. Also your reading comprehension level is obviously equal to a roach on cocaine as he was referring to RANGER SCHOOL not RASP and ASVAB waivers cant go to either anyways. He didn’t say he wasn’t in good shape he said a “PT beast” and idgaf I’m a fucking pt god and haven’t scored less than a 300 or extended scale since I’ve been in. What he’s trying to say is, no you don’t have to be in my kind of shape to pass Ranger School, matter fact once you pass RAP week the better you are at retaining information and employing the squad and platoon tactics the RIs teach you the better off you will be. Oh and btw the 101st is one of the most tabbed units actually right behind Regiment and won BRC (that’s the Best Ranger Competion which you more than likely didn’t know considering your diarrhea of the mouth complex) just this past year. Head back to the peanut gallery where you belong shit stain and stop trying to fuck with peoples goals just because you might be able to run fast and put up a little weight, ya fucking nerd.
@@tommythetrain6380 both
I just swore in last Wednesday as a 13F Option 40. I went to MEPs fucking five times before finally enlisting. I had to switch recruiters and was DQ'd medically at one point, but still got an Option 40. Here is my best advice for MEPs.
- Don't go to MEPs without an Option 40
Going to MEPs without an Option 40 will be a headache for you and your recruiter. Chances are you wont be able to get an Option 40 contract down at MEPs. 11x Option 40s are so damn popular. Wait until you can reserve an Option 40 before you go to MEPs. It may take a couple months. Be patient. If you go to MEPs without an Option 40 (like I did), your recruiter will try and force you to sign an 11B or 11x contract with no Option 40 and tell you that you can request for RASP when you are already in. Don't settle. I refused to sign anything than an Option 40 at MEPs and pissed off my recruiters, but eventually got my way. Your allowed to walk away without signing. You'll recruiter will fucking hate you, but don't settle. I became a QNE (Qualified Not Enlisted) two times. I refused to sign twice because I didnt get an Option 40 in my contract down at MEPs.
-Do not get a medical waiver
You cannot get an Option 40 (Ranger) Option 4 (Airborne) or 18x (Special Forces) with a medical waiver. A medical waiver denies you from testing for an Airborne Physical. The only way you can get an Option 40 with a medical waiver is if you passed the Airborne Physical before you got the medical waiver or disqualified. That was me. I passed the Airborne Physical and all medical tests my first time at MEPs, but I was DQ'd during my 2nd time at MEPs during my inspect for a tiny rash. The doctor thought I had eczema. I went to two dermatologist and got two doctors notes to send with a medical waiver. Luckily, it was approved and I had already passed the Airborne physical prior to my DQ. I recommend asking for the Airborne Physical soon as possible once you get to the Medical testing at MEPs, that way if anything does come up you'll already be Airborne Physically qualified.
I went to MEPs five friggin times, so if you guys have any questions, just ask.
Thanks for posting this info. Its good stuff.
Anon Yes you can volunteer for RASP or SFAS at basic/AIT/airborne, but the chances you are picked are slim. Every damn infantry recruit will apply for RASP. I have heard of the Ranger liaisons picking 2/50 recruits who apply. All depends on the needs of the Regiment. It's definitely a gamble, you may not even see a Ranger liaison through ur training. If you go this route without an Option 40, you need to make sure you have a perfect APFT score. You basically have to be the best recruit physically and mentally out of everyone at basic or OSUT.
It is possible though to make it to RASP without an option 40. I met an active duty Ranger at a bar last week. He went In as 11x no option 40 and basically was a PT stud. He fucking killed it at basic/OSUT. Destroyed everybody In the runs and AFPT tests.
Personally, I say hold out for an Option 40, but if you do have to go with no option 40 it's possible to make it to RASP, just a little harder.
do they ask specific medical questions like what medications did you take or where did that scar come from etc, also i was told to deny everything and act as if im perfect medically
MARKSMAN108 yes they do. Say u don't take any medications. Any scars just say u fell down or got it from work.
The first time I took my son into the recruiter 2 months ago, we were told Option 40 was very hard to get, and almost impossible to get as an infantry MOS. We had resigned to taking an 11X spot if it opened up. Right after taking his ASVAB, they called him and told him that several 11X option 40's had opened up. We jumped on it! This was just last week. He leaves on Sep 5. RLTW!
Hey congrats !! Good luck to your son!
Lance Meek did he make it to becoming a ranger?
That’s awesome how did it go ?
Did he become a ranger?
Lance Meek did he
Good video. He's right about the process of becoming a ranger. But with a 35 min 5 mile, not every ranger would shit on him...
Not true at all they would I made sure my team ran sub 35 min 5 mile time or else I would recommend them to be released i didn’t care I made sure my team was squared away and I definitely wasn’t the only one
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx so is it Regiment standard that every Ranger must run a sub 35 minute 5 mile or they will recommended to be RFS? Is this what you are telling me? I said not EVERY Ranger. I'm sure there are certain squad leaders that make it a standard.
Edit: If you were in Ranger Batt then you would know more than me. I just had never heard that before from guys I have talked to.
@@acewalkerdog yeah I’m sure there are to but I would strive for excellence
@@RyanRyan-tk6wx Im with you I agree 100%. If you want to be a performer in a outfit like that I would want to be running MAX 35 min 5 mile on my worst day.
Yeah and those team leads who don’t enforce that standard from my experience have been rst like mine literally 2 weeks before a deployment
Love your video. Same track my boy (now a man) is taking. 11 xRay option 40 Airborne Ranger 75th RR. Love all my Military peeps who sacrifice so much for our freedoms. God Bless America!!!!
I have option 40 on my contract. My job is 92r which is parachute rigger. I start with Basic Training. Then I go to airborne school, third is RASP, and last is parachute rigger school. That is the order written on my contract.
Patrick They changed the process. Now it’s BCT, AIT, RASP then Airborne. Regiment got sick of people dropping out of rasp just trying to get airborne. 👍🏼
I locked in and enlisted for 11X OP40 on July 4th and ship out Sept. 5th. Cannot wait. I am so happy I autoqualified. I got a 91 on the ASVAB. This info helps a lot man, thank you for your time and service
Glad I could help out man! Good Luck!
Guerrin Love how did it go bro?
How'd it go? I leave for same thing the following summer
@jaromet1552 got double pneumonia at RASP and got dropped, spent 4 years in the 82nd ABN DIV and now I'm in the National Guard finishing up my 8 year commitment. Got a little under 2 years left. Its been entirely worth it and now I'm 90% disabled and own a house thanks to the VA Loan. Tips on getting through basic: don't look like a bitch, and stay low
@@nokarma8944 replied to the other guy, pinning you so you get the notification
There is some really screwed up information in this video.
- Since around 2006, candidates go to Pre-RASP and RASP before Airborne School. Regiment got tired of paying $50k per Airborne student when classes of 300+ RASP candidates showed up to Pre-RASP and half quit in the first week. But Regiment was still getting stuck with the bill.
- Ranger School is not in the official pipeline. It can take 12-18 months for a Ranger to get a slot to go to SURT and then go to Tab School depending on how well they perform at their job. There have been Rangers who have done full enlistments and never been to Tab school. They either chose to keep deploying with their Brothers, didn't care, or simply didn't want to go. It limits your advancement and access to other schools and you'll never hold a leadership position in Regiment; but it has happened.
- Everyone from E-6 and up goes to RASP 2, not just senior NCOs. And everytime you advance to the next highest leadership position, you get sent back to RASP 2 to make sure you are still up to speed on the basics. Regardless of rank. Only unit in the US arsenal that does this.
- Not everyone that goes to RASP is a 'beast'. It's not about the best guy, it's about being the right guy. You can max on every single physical test and skills task, but if they simply don't like your face, you fail your psyche eval, you don't get your security clearance, your fellow candidates peer you out because they don't like you, or you just don't have the right attitude; you won't get selected.
- Regiment needs and recruits for all of the following MOS's, not just the few mentioned:
11B, 11C, 11Z, 12B, 12H, 12R, 12W, 12Y, 13F, 13Z, 17C, 17E, 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, 25N, 25P, 25Q, 25S, 25U, 25W, 25X, 27D, 29E, 35F, 35G, 35L, 35M, 35N, 35P, 35S, 35Z, 36B, 37F, 38B, 42A, 56M, 68J, 68S, 68T, 68W, 68X, 74D, 79S, 88M, 88N, 89B, 91B, 91C, 91D, 91E, 91F, 91S, 91X, 91Z, 92A, 92F, 92G, 92L, 92R, 92Y, 94E, 94F, 94W, 94Y
More info and to contact Regiment directly: www.benning.army.mil/Tenant/75thRanger/Recruiting.html
- While it's your best bet is to hold out for an Option 40 contract before you ship from MEPs (even if it takes months), Regiment now has hot desks on most training posts in the US (since around 2015) and do a presentation and recruiting day for most AIT and OSUT classes. That's because so many folks quit RASP or Pre-RASP. If they don't have reps on your training post, email or call them directly at Fort Benning. They can change your orders remotely if your MOS is in demand and the timing fits a Pre-RASP intake. They are a very calm and professional team of guys. If they need your MOS and you are doing well in initial training and your general profile passes the sniff test; you'll get a shot. Regiment are almost always short handed. When I got to my (supposedly) 11 man squad, it was me, two other guys and my squad leader. Two others were away at schools and one other had been seriously injured. Regiment are never at full strength.
Not everyone that is a Ranger is the most super human beast. Not always the guys that are the strongest, fastest, and toughest to make it. Most of the time it's the right guy. You can finish RAASP and not be selected to be a Ranger.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the knowledge
Most of this isn’t true lol
Im sorry but dont listen to his advice about Ranger school, or any other elite school for that matter. You dont need to run a 31 minute 5 mile or be a pt god to make it through these courses, sure you need to be fit, but mainly you just need to have no quit in your heart and want nothing other than success.
CookieMonster13297 no you have to be a fucking pt stud.
They will only pick the best.
Not being a quitter has nothing to do with it.
Have either of you been through a course like Ranger school? I would venture to say no. Passing these schools have very resonable pt standards, pass the standards stay in the course. Being selected for a unit is a diffrent story, where pt scores, leadership capability and just your general charecter all come into play however thats not what i said. I said to pass the course. If you havnt been through an elite school dont make videos or comments about them.
CookieMonster13297 I went though rasp and passed in 2013, I attended ranger school in 2014 and passed after recycling mountain phase once. I can promise you not a single person who just met the standards graduated, rather it was the people who were maxing out the test. You have to remember almost the entire course is about getting your ass smoked and kicked for days on end. If you aren’t an absolute stud you are just another VW
CookieMonster13297 Your a fucking nerd who plays video games all day just look at your channel you dont know shit kid
Update: After OSUT/AIT, you go to RASP then go to Airborne. If you fail RASP, you'll probably be denied Airborne.
I’m 11x option 40 airborne then rasp 7/25/2020. So idk
22week OSUT, pre RASP, RASP, Airborne, Beret. It’s a new army. Have to go to school ASAP.
You can be a ranger with medical waiver. As long as the injury isn’t chronic
Noah Fast Good to know, thx
Well explained Bro!! my younger Brother over here in the states with me he going in too.. my dad sent em my dad been in over 20 years
Aye! Thats wassup good luck to the both of you
Did you make it?
I'm a 15W with option 40. Went to BCT at Fort Jackson and been in AIT for the last few weeks. I'm honestly terrified for RASP 😅 but this made me a little less terrified. Thanks man
Roger , good Luck.
How was it?
Garrett Kehayes he didn’t pass
Is it possible to sign an 11x option 40 contract straight out of high school and if it is how likely is it. I’m almost done with my sophomore year and I’m not sure what I have to do to expand my chances for an 11x option 40
Brett Appleby If you’re 18 it makes signing documents easier. Make sure you score above a 55 on the ASVAB. Make sure that your PT score is above 250, preferably 270. Make sure you’re doing your push-ups right and I mean RIGHT because if not you will hear 0 0 0 all day long which will lead to disqualification. Make sure you start your enlistment process when high school starts, but don’t let that be your only option. You’ll always have other routes like ROTC.
Stop askin ques and go do
I am a Army Recruiter and 5 people I recruited tried the 11X 40 option. Keyword “Tried”......
It's funny to me how many people ask questions that they could literally google in 10 seconds. LOL... Thanks for the videos! I'm about to graduate OCS and head to IBOLC in OCT. Not sure if I'll get the chance to go to Ranger School but the info is helpful.
Thank you for your service. God bless
Thanks, your welcome.
Nice vid, I would like to see one on S.O.A.R
Thanks man! Makes you think about getting the contract or applying later ya know?
Pretty much how it goes.
I scored a 72 on my asvab and got 114 on my Gt. Yeah, try to score higher!
92, and a 128 gt
but i got the 11b contract so it izzz what it izzz
Justus Hollifield should have gone air force with that score, bruh. Good shit, though. When do you ship? Or how long have you been in the Army if you’ve already graduated?
Alex R december, and my friend who got a similar scote is going into the airforce to be an aerospace engineer lmao. I couldn’t do it tho i dont wanna be defined by my brain
Justus Hollifield well, as long as you’re happy, it’s all good, bro
Probably the most helpful video out thank you.
I subbed. Love your videos man!
Thanks fam! appreciate the support.
I heard that its better to try out for raasp later so that if you fail youll just go back to infantry but if you get the option 40 and fail rasp then they put you anywhere they want.
Good luck trying out for RASP later in your career. It doesn't happen often because the squad doesn't want you to leave. The VAST majority got there because of the contract.
You would still be infantry since that's your MOS. Your unit assignment would be based on the needs of the Army.
Hey, thanks for the shout out and thnx for actually making the video. I gotta say though, I was a bit disappointed b/c I was not interested in the op 40 route per say (given that I've done my hwk since I plan on signing one); I was more interested in your literal view of the guys in the 75thRR. STuff like the 'no shits given attitude' (and btw, what do you mean by that? I mean, I know what those words mean, but I would imagine that regular infantry guys are like that as well right? Especially those from like other hardcore units like the 82nd? So, what's different f about the Ranger's 'no shits given attitude'?). You always do a great job covering the in-house side of things (the contractual side, the formal stuff). But see, I know what I need to know on that side. What's interesting are the anecdotes you drop on us here and there about Army life that are so interesting, raw, and piercing. Like the "rangers look all alike," or the lack of any black guys in the regiment. That's the stuff I wanted to hear about.
In a future video, I would appreciate it if you could go over these kinds of stuff and your general impression about the regiment from the outside. And more about the kinda guys that make it.
Ah, okay , roger Im tracking what your saying now. However when I mean that "no shits given" there attitude towards anything tough is always fearless, like its already done as soon as they are told. They aren't to worried or scared of anything out there. However I haven't got to talk to many rangers except for maybe 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Although Ill make sure to drop some more information on rangers when I get some more info.
DAmn man, it's inspiring to see how on top of shit you are; I mean-damn, I leave my laptop for a sec and you've already replied to my comment! I can't believe you're in OCS and vloging. Any who, thanks for the clarification. Anecdotes like that give me something to emulate in my mindset and training as I prepare to enlist and join the regiment. So, yes, please drop some more info on rangers as much as possible! And less on rules and structure, and more about the demeanor, personality, mindset, and attitude of the guys. And really, the regiment in general. The regiment seems to me to be the most mysterious (as in, there is less info on it) unit in the military. There are a lot of books on the unit, SF, AWG, SEALs, Raiders, PJ, and infrantry units in general + a ton of former team guys out there who do interviews and podcasts...and I've noticed that among all these units, the 75th is virtually unspoken. I've found 1 book on the post-911 regiment (the reaper), and some good shit on SOFREP and that's about it! So yeah man, your input - even if, it's from an outsider perspective - would be priceless to me. Plus, I love the way you put things. No bull shit, personable, and to the point
Alright ya I got it. I probably wont be able to really talk about them to that extent untill I get out of OCS next month. Yea I got you no worries.
Rip Red when he says they give no fuck rangers are like the grunt Frat bros of The spec ops community Who will smoke you out and feed beer down your throatregardless if you're legally aged to do so. There humble but they're not humble because they know they're good at what they do my brother was in 75th 2nd battalion
Haha the frat bros of the spec ops community? Hmm, there's an image of the regiment I've never heard of. But that's interesting. I've picked up on that element from here and there myself...but I guess i'll just have to wait till I make it in battalion to truly find out how things really are.
From what I have gathered, if this is a legitimate way, please confirm. You join the army, complete BCT, AIT, RASP, Airborne, and then Rangers School in that order, with the little things in between??
If you have the option 40 contract, you only go into RASP. That’s your ticket into the ranger batt. Basic, AIT, pre rasp if there’s not a class available, rasp, Airborne school. Ranger school you have to put in for that later
Tylar Roy I just got my 11x option 40 contract secured last month, I ship on the 30th and that’s how it works
They did change the pipeline a bit since I was in but I’m 100% sure they wouldn’t change this ranger school is earned u need to prove ur self during ur first deployment if they like you they will send you to ranger school if they don’t u get released for standards
One thing that I noticed that wasn’t mentioned was if you keep your 75th Ranger scroll after you get out or not. I did find out that you do turn it in when you leave the battalion unless you were In combat with them. The you keep it as a combat patch. I was curious about this bec I didn’t see anyone with it after they got out. Great video man, love the energy. New sub.
Your unit patch would change if you left the unit, but that's the same as with any other unit.
I thought was told by a recruiter it is around 105 the other day
It is a GT of 105 that you need. You gotta remember this was 3 years ago, Rangers are in high demand so it makes sense to lower it a little
@@shanemccarthy439 rangers are in high demand right now? I’d figure they would’ve been more so a few years ago. Is there a specific reason?
Nice video, keep up the good work!
thanks much appreciated.
This video was really helpful! My boyfriend just left for basic training this past week to fort benning under an option 40 contract. After basic training, he does AIT then airborne school and then RASP.
Glad I could help
He's a PoG going to RASP he still has a chance to make it just his basic might not be as physically demanding as Infantry so that could hurt him . Wish him all the luck I start Pre- RASP tomorrow .
Taya McKenzie And I’ll be digging your guts out while he’s gone

@@johntommy220 this is crazy😂😂
I was a 19D with the 3rd Cav. My Friend who just got out, I ETS'd about 3 years ago and am still Inactive reserve, My question is my friend was in for 6 years and there were rumors of him going to Regiment, so when I caught up with him he stated he was with the 1/75th, berore ETS'n I asked him what his MOS is now and he said 19D1V I asked him why he was not a 11 series and he stated he was OJT'd (on the Job Training) to 11B but he carries the mos of a Scout, Airborne Ranger, Does this make any since to you?, I asked him for his dd214 and he never showed it to me..Im just curios if mb he is Bullshitting me. I was thinking about rejoining cus civilian life sux for me. I know I will not have to go through Basic again and prob go straight to RASP. My question is if you are a combat mos and go to RASP do you then got to go to 11X school or do they just OJT you to Infantry, and you keep you MOS nomenclature like 19D but get the V, I heard the V is just for Ranger school. I did try to goggle this but cannot come up with a clear answer. Thanks so much for your service, and talking the time to reply. Scouts Out.
I’m calling bs never heard of that while I was in 1/75
I've always wanted to go military, and just recently discovered option 40 and the rangers (like a year ago). Now I'm not the fastest, strongest, smartest guy out there, but I have the determination to go until the end. I do want to be a Ranger, I really do, but does it sound like the Rangers are for me? I currently train 6 days a week and am going through college for now.
Special forces selection never seemed to me like a physical brawn competition. For example the Guys I see going through RASP all those guys aren't super huge buff guys believe it or not. I was suprised to see how some are pretty skinny. Its all heart bro, believe it.
Sorry LT but I dont entirely agree with your opinion on this. Many Many guys have made it through RASP and Ranger school that were not "beast ". Desire and heart go a long way in completing these schools.
Spot on. The pass/fail standards definitely don't require you to be a "beast". They are also the easiest part of the entire process, it's just about how much bullshit you are willing to deal with and whether you continue to want it bad enough.
Thanks, brother Soldier.
Depending on the waiver you can still get option 40
How do you know?
@@AndresRivera-bj1hk cause I had a moral waiver and got it. But medical waivers are harder cause rasp is rough training
@@comeoutside2881 right on man thank you
can you please make a video on body armor and peoples hight and how it feels when training please :-)
Okay, you must be talking about the IBA but sure I will get around to it.
Okay cool thanks nice hereing from you :-)
Jose Herrera from an infantry guy I can tell you right now the IOTV (improvised outer tactical vest) can be awkward on your body if you don't adjust it and fit it to your person or don't have the right size, in basic you get the old model ACU pattern and most likely a size too big or too small but at your unit you'll get one that for your size and your team leader or squad leader will show you how to set up your kit so you don't look like a POG
Yea bro I got a 35 and a gt of 90 something, been a while and I was able to get option 40 on my contract
How in the actual fuck? You lie bro
Now I KNOW you lyin'.
how fast do they run? typically
Who rangers? Im not sure but for a 2mile its under 13 typically I believe.
I was running around 11 min 2 mile at my peak
Ranger school is not hard,it's more mine game than anything,because I went through recond school in January 1976 and Ranger school in may 1977. Don't get me wrong its no cake walk you got to have that don't guit frame of mine and you can make it, you don't have to be able lift cars but you got to be in pretty good physical condition to make it. Back at the beginning of my statement i said it wasn't hard , let take that back its was kind of hard that i think of it.
I heard that you have to go through RASP after Airborne school now? Cause they got tired of "wasting time" with non dedicated people
Exactly! Loads of people would get their Airborne tab and drop out of RASP real quick haha. I'm going to BCT February and RASP in August as a 35M. 2020 is gonna be a good year!
Well the tab is mandatory for Combat MOS in the Ranger Bat .
POGS don't have to get a Tab unless they're an Officer .
Also I didn't score a 300 and I got an option 40 . So that's not true at all buddy you have to be mentally tough .
All officers have to attend ranger school.
Hey buddy it ms mandatory if you want to stay in batt
You said medical waivers? Does that include glasses?
you dont need a waiver for glasses lmao
Glasses dont need a waiver in the millitary unless its basically blind from what ive seen
Along with your disclaimer of opinion, you should have also mentioned that you were NOT A U.S. ARMY RANGER.
I thought that was obvious
Great video!!! Thank you!
How much combat do rangers see? Cuz it would suck to be ranger n see no combat.
Idk how much they see, Im not in the RANGER regiment. Im sure since they are the world's best they see it though.
Funny how lots of people say that until they actually see combat... it’s not like COD. There are real bullets flying at you, you don’t know what around the next corner or behind the door you’re about to bust through. A lot of times you don’t know where you’re being shot at. It’s not all fun and games like on video games and movies.
Not everyone that goes to RASP goes to ranger school. Depends on Rank
Tre bennett Should be noted that if you want any type of leadership role in Batt then you will have to tab up.
I heard that if you want any respect though you basically want to go to Ranger
Ahhh definitely will be noted.
Lmao I picked 92G with option 40 😅😂
haha , God Speeeeeeed!
How are you liking it?
@@ubcroel4022 worst decision ever 😂😂
If you go 11x would you go to bct, oust, then your unit or bct, osut, then right away to airborne and rasp?
BCT is inside of osut. Its basically your AIT and BCT put together so you would go to OSUT , than to your follow on schools i.e. airborne, air assault, rasp. etc etc
You don't go to Air Assault
I’m a 9th grader thinking of joining The green berets. What’s the recommendation of taking this path? 18x or going through some other army operations such as the army rangers.
I as well want to know how to train myself physically because I feel like I do have the mentality but physically I need work on that.
Don’t bother thinking about any of that right now. If you’re serious and committed, start training now. Even if you hate sports, join a team so you get the training. For your age, running 3 times a week with real effort will do you wonders over the next few years. I’d say when you get into your junior year start hitting the gym hard and really trying to get upper body strength, but don’t stop running. Eat healthy. Don’t even think about getting a contract and focus your time on preparing for anything.
You can go Army Rangers, a lot of Rangers go to Special Forces or Delta Force it really just depends on what you want. Definitely pay attention in school to do well on the asvab and train hard
@@sboat7264 hey I’m 16 and I should’ve started sooner but I want to prepare now , what should I be doing to get my upper body strength up ? And tips etc
@@phonkaddict2119 Don't worry about pushups, that will improve massively during OSUT on its own if you put the effort in. You'll be doing more than you ever could dream of at ft benning. (atleast for inf). Upperbody strength is not a concern unless you go in absurdly weak. Get to a point of being able to do 30-40 chest to ground pushups going in and you'll be fine, you can improve that massively over 6 months. The biggest thing is running. While you're there you dont have as many chances to run recreationally, have time to recover, etc. You run on their schedule not theirs, meaning the day after your 3 mile group run you could have a 8 mile ruck, so you cant push yourself as hard knowing you need the energy tomorrow. So just go in trying to be at a 15 min 2 mile pace. You have 2 years so you have plenty of time to achieve these goals. Biggest thing is nutrition. If you're even 10 pounds over weight your pushups and run times suffer massively.
@@phonkaddict2119 But to answer your question more precisely to improve upper body strength you just have to combine calisthenics with weight lifting. do a few days of only body weight workouts or maybe body weight with a weighted vest and do stuff like 100 pushups, 150 squats, 50 pullups as fast as you can even if it takes 40 minutes. then the next day or 2 days later go to the gym and lift weights focusing on upper body. but dont neglect your legs. stretch every day and try to run 3 times a week, making one of those days atleast 5 miles at a comfortable pace.
I just got 11x option 40 contract and I ship out may 24th I’ve always wanted it to be just like my brother but shit man I’m super nervous
If you're not bullshit, can I email you and ask some questions. I want to be a ranger, currently working out heavy to get ready to walk in the recruiter station and make them want me. My email is ss4broly556@gmail.com. Thanks man
@@jaksahn3370 got it bro
@@James-pg7jc I emailed ya
What workout routine have you been doing and what have you been doing to prepare.
@@phonkaddict2119 cardio and cardio bro I got yelled at by my recruiter because I was lifting weights
I have a question. I ship to basic soon but I don’t have Option 40 in my contract and my MOS is 11B. What are the odds that I will be able to become a ranger without it? Would you recommend I cancel my DEP contract before I ship out and sign up again so I can get it, or should I go with it and try to volunteer?
100% can still become a RAN GER
Make sure you have an airborne contract at a minimum like many guys are suggesting take your time this is your career not your recruiters.

Great video!
Thanks!
I hate college and I don't want to be here anymore, I'm very fit. Suggestions?
Join the Military??
i got a 42A option 40. idk what Human resources need a ranger for, but oh well
hahahahahha
It gives you a hell of a leg up in that MOS when it comes to promotions later on.
Ranger BN needs staff in order to run behind the scenes just like any other BN.
So is an op 40 contract the equivalent to a recon contract in the Marines?
Unsure, I dont know anything about the Marines.
No not at all
did you ever wish you enlisted boot instead of officer?
Sometimes I think about it, however I wouldn't have enlisted ARMY. I would have went NAVY
What's the difference between a 68W and a 91W?
91W was the old designator for combat medic. All combat medics are now 68W.
Hey, I'm about to take the asvab and I don't know what job should I take, I love infantry and I would love to be a 11x or 11b but I got a baby girl on the way and a wife, idk what would you recommend me?
Get a signal or cyber job that way if you dont want to stay in you can get out and enjoy a nice cushy civilian job
11x is the only 11 series u can get bud so who ever told u 11b out of meps is lying to u and I’ll see combat with any job in regiment at least when I was in so if ur worried about ur wife and kid regiment ain’t for u cause than ur worrying about u not going home to ur wife and kid and than ur not worrying about your brother nxt to u
Damn now I don’t know if I want that opt 40
Same man lmao
If I take option 40 in high school for the us army rangers can I join the 75th ranger regiment straight after high school with option 40
Know this video is a bit old, bit if anyone who knows could help me out. I'm looking to get an option 40, is a 3 year 11x option 40 contract possible?
Yes I believe so. but I think it needs to be like 4 to 6 years.
if I make it to become a ranger and I want to go back to ranger school and get my tab and fail the school, would I still be in the regiment?
PS. This has been my dream for a while and I’m a sophomore in HS, I’ve been doing hiit workouts before school everyday, and practice after school.
Is it possible for people to go through ROTC and then get into the 75th?
Yea , branch infantry than when you get to 1st LT put in for RASP
Have you chose what area you are going to be an officer at?
I have chosen I wont know If Ill get my picks till May 3rd though
Thats great news! What are the ideal areas you want to placed at?
Currently my top picks are QM, OD, Chem, Signal and AG in that order
I think you can earn your the Tab. Drive Sir RLTW!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont think Ill be going to Ranger school , but thanks for the encouragement.
@@kidthndr2 sack up and go get you some.
Here's ur salute big guy officer overlord
Definitely not a overlord, just a average guy.
Can you become a tab Ranger if you had to acquire a medical waiver?
no
Ask a recruiter. You can dm on instagram
I have mild asthma what should I fo
What do you mean by physical waivers
when they do the physical examination on you to see if you're fit to serve and they find something they can offer you a waiver like an excuse saying its okay that you have whatever condition it is you have
25u op40 shipping to basic July 5th
what qualifies you for security clearance
I wouldn't know that..
No felonies , us citizen , over 18 and such pretty basic I’m actually a 11b w option 40
Aleksandr Blain how’s that mos ?? I got offered 11X with 40 option ... and a 40K bonus
Can you be a officer and be a ranger
Scored a 103 GT score will going infantry then airborne be able to get me into rasp
U need a waiver
can normal civilian that didnt serve join the 75th ranger regiment?
EyeZ_28 bro what?
Nigga you better join the army and get yo shit straight
The only way to be a Ranger is you have to be liked by the higher ups.
It's really that simple.
Not true.
@@kidthndr2 You don't think it's a coincidence that so few Blacks ever make it in, while guys who are less athletically gifted & aren't even that good as infantryman still somehow pass selection? It's a Good Ol Boys club...
I qualify for option 40
Good vid man
Thanks man I Try
Do you know anything about getting LASIK before going to RASP? Will it disqualify you?
I dont know anything about that sorry.
Recently I went to the meps, the doctor just touched my hand then straight up told me that I have a skin condition and I need to get a waiver. Growing up, I did not have any medical problems nor conditions, that sht was crazy. So eventually I had to get a letter from a doctor and my waiver was approved. But the thing is, I couldn’t get option 40 on my contract anymore cuz I got fked over by the meps doctor. Guess my only option is to wait till I arrived in unit.
Yea man, just bide your time and wait!
seems like they're out to fuck you for everything at MEPS lmk how it worked out
I just got a 91c with option 40
Good info...
GT for op40 is 105 now.
Damn thats crazy alright.
Craig Guerrero 110 now
What's your MOS
Im going to be an officer.
Yeah but for what MOS. Example: 31A MP Officer, 11A Infantry Officer, etc.
Im going to be 92A Quartermaster officer
#Dopevid✌💯
thanks.
kidthndr2 your welcome👍🤗
I fucking love you, thanks
Thanks for the support.
I thought infantry mos was 11B
It is
Or 11C
I have a question in thinking about joining what's the biggest con about being in the army
I can't answer your question for you, because everyone is different. I didn't like basic, but thats me! Some people might like it.
kidthndr2 what's your biggest con now Im prepared for basics to suck
As of right now I dont have any.
kidthndr2 ok thanks
I have 11x option 40 contract with a 40,000 bonus i leave next month
How did you get your contract man, I qualified at MEPs but they say that there are no Opt. 40s available. Did you have this problem as well?
Jon W it depends if theres slots opened i was just fortunate, you should ask your recruiter to keep checking for it and dont join until you have a slot available
You need a 105 gt score not 110
On the ARMY website it said 110. Just going off of what It said up there.
It now says gt of 105. Also, I have a gt of 105 and am joining with a ranger contract.
I got the exact same fucking score on my asvab Lol
haha good stuff
Helpful video man! I'm planning on 11x opt. 40. Can I have your email?
ybemerica@gmail.com
12B Option 40
Good luck.
Thank you, I've stopped working so I can dedicate as much time as needed to training and I still have over a month until I ship for OSUT. From there, as you know, it's Jump School, then RASP. If you or any of your viewers are interested Ranger Regiment has a 12 week selection prep workout on their web site.
Thanks. I've been training hard for the past few months and sill have another month and a half till I ship for OUST. Then, as you know, it's Jump School, and finally RASP. If you or any of your viewers are interested Regiment has a 12 week selection prep workout on their website. www.benning.army.mil/tenant/75thRanger/content/PDF/12%20Week%20Ranger%20Assessment%20and%20Selection%20Program%20Training%20Plan2.pdf
what's a gt score?
General Technical Score, I think its like math , science and another section
🇺🇲
This guy has no clue what he is talking about
Yeah...he is. And you know why??? Because its his OPINION!!! And he said that at the beginning of the video. And if its his OPINION...he can say anything and be right. Details...pay attention to the...DETAILs. Bra. ps...red,black and green...ALWAYs.
blackprideworldwide this is actually super accurate
Wow................I hope you're not gonna be in a leadership position in the US ARMY............You are flaky............
Negative! Being in a Ranger batt. doesn't make you a ranger, having your tab does!
hahahah ok
Troy Graves You are a misinformed idiot. I was with 1st batt 6 years, the scroll makes you a ranger, not the tab.
I hear you but just because you cook in a kitchen doesn't make you a chef. You're half way there, go all the way and get your tab! I can't even see how you could do an enlistment in a ranger batt. and not get your tab. As regular infantry you had to get your tab just to be in the scout platoon.
Lt. Joshua
Salute, sir.
Absolutely wrong lmao. Having the scroll and tan beret is a ranger. Everybody in batt is a ranger. The tab just means you went to ranger school.
