A lot of things have changed in 35 years. Here is what I found: "The 75th Ranger Regiment is the only unit in the U.S. Army that requires their members to graduate Ranger school -- exceptions given for staff positions (i.e. non-combat leadership positions). Ranger school is not a pre-requisite...

Yeah, good luck finding Chaplains willing to go through RASP and Ranger school. Let alone graduate.

Yes, I know, but anything other than 11X series will only be found at Battalion level or higher. I don't think Jag, Finance, Public Affairs, Chaplains, Veterinarians, and Psychologists are Ranger qualified. That was not a requirement. Chaplains had an almost impossible task in getting a Ranger...

<{dayum}> He is going to find that 'fulfilment' in the Marine Corps? How did he come to that conclusion? The 75th Regiment would never take a Quartermaster Captain into its ranks. He would have to be 11 series with at least 2 years Active Duty in the Infantry. If he went with the 82nd, 101st...

So, how old will this guy be when he makes it to 2nd Lieutenant? I'm betting he will be a 'washout' during Marine OCS. He could be an Infantry officer in the Army. Switch MOS. Go through the Infantry Advanced Course and Ranger school. He would skip Platoon Leader time and most likely Company...

Damn! There is 'stupid' and then there is 'really stupid.' From Army Logistics to Marine Infantry? WTF is this guy thinking? Should have put in an Army packet to go to the 82nd, Ranger Regiment, or Special Forces. I'm sure the Marines are going to love him. When he realizes the mistake he has...

Mastercard. Priceless!

The weight of the dummy M-16 (A1) was roughly 7 pounds. All black - hardened plastic. It was the replica with the 20-round magazine. This is what was used on the Combat Water Survival Test.

Yeah! The guy had balls. A crazy stupid move, but he got away with it. SF TAC NCOs are a different breed than Ranger RIs. I think more professional and mature. As is the Q Course. RIs would have 'smoked' Loomis for doing that shit and talking back that way. I don't think the guy would have...

Here is a good one about the time he went through the Q Course for Special Forces. Again, this has now all changed since the mid-1990s. For Ranger school, I was amazed at how unprofessional the whole thing really was. After all, this was the U.S. Army doing their training for elite soldiers. A...

Terrence Popp and more great stories about going to Ranger school. Crazy but hilarious. A lot of this shit is no longer tolerated by the Army. The good old days. All this happened at Ft. Benning, GA, in the late 1980s. Yeah, no females.

* Edit: Popp graduated from Ranger School in September of 1990 (not 1980) - Class 9. He went on to serve in a Ranger Battalion and later Special Forces.

Love my tabs. PowerPoint was harder than Ranger School. Less than 3% graduate from the course. PowerPoint Rangers are now considered a Tier 1 soldier. <DCWhoa>

Yeap, there is the 1st Infantry Division wearing their unauthorized camouflaged unit patch on their DCUs. The red colored '1.' That is a Class A uniform patch. The 'Big Red One' has been doing that shit for a few years now. This would be the correct patch:

Yes, I noticed the Sapper tab on the other photo. A worthless tab authorized for use starting in 2004. As worthless as a Pathfinder badge. The guy in the picture is just looking for attention and praise. The patch is barely being held on by the Velcro. I bet he's got Ranger or SF plates in his...

Man! I was joking. I can't believe Space Force is sending guys to Ranger school. A complete waste of slots and money. * Why is this guy wearing his tab on the right shoulder?

Yes, I understand Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT), but Ranger school has nothing to do with that. MSRT deals with counterterrorism and the protection of local maritime assets - in water. U.S. Army Delta Teams usually deal with that sort of thing. The sole reason Delta was created. Ranger...

The Darby Queen obstacle course in Phase I of Ranger school and part of the 'Best Ranger Competition.' Ft. Benning, GA. I don't care about the new installation name. Not as hard as people think, but during the competition, it is a timed event. You can only move as fat as your buddy moves...
