a ? about being a ranger!

[headpopper]

ok im about to go into the army...and right now im gonna TRY and become a ranger...but i wanna do stuff in the outdoors and live like in the middle of nowhere and do cool shyt like that out there...soo what do i need to TRY and become in order to do that?

[fade2black_81]

Your thinking special forces, they usually go out in the middle of nowhere in teams of 12 and do as you say it "cool shyt" the mos enlist option is 18x good luck.

[headpopper]

ok that helps me out a lot......i just really wanted a challenge nothing to easy...thanx

[rangerzrock]

i'm probably gonna join in like 7 years cus i'm 13 (still trying to define weather i should) and i'm also gonna try and get into the rangers. ;)

[rangerhopefull_1162]

my dream is to be a ranger, then go to delta. thats been my asparation since i was 10 and started getting interested in the military.

after that, then when im old and fat i will be a sherif. :p just kidding

[ozzi-solja]

Army Artillery or Infantry for me, possible SAS... then bum around and be a politician of something rediculously high paid like that!!! :(

[rangerhopefull_1162]

yea but the regular army is horrible, at least in america. (ex the treatment u get, ur worthless there)

[ozzi-solja]

One, the Rangers won't accept you if you are dumb. There *is* a score you need to reach on your ASVAB. Part of that is English skills.

Two, to be a a SpecFor member, they would like you to be a Ranger.

-On the ASVAB you need a GT Score of 110 to be Ranger, 120 to be a SpecFor.

I've achieved that, and am working on preparing myself.

[darkwinter]

Another route to being SpecFor...

Go in as an 11X with an Option 40 and an Option 60.

The Option 40 means you have a slot for Ranger school.

The Option 60 means that once you reach E-4 promotable, or above you have the option of being interviewed by a SpecFor recruiter for a possible shot.

To be SpecFor you need to be an NCO to my knowledge.

you need to be at least e-5 (sergeant) to be sf. you also need to be airborne qualified.

being a ranger is probably on of the most promising careers in order to become sf. also 11b in general is a good thing to do. or try to get to the 82nd as 101st should be the last choice. "stand up, snap in,slide down the rope - an air assault trooper ain't nuttn' but a joke" ... just kidding they're doing a great job, too.

they have three ranger battalions in the army and they usually operate in battalion strength. you can/have to do courses like mountain climbing, desert, jungle or in the artic.
being an airborne ranger you're already pretty elite. although they made everybody wear the black beret now.

you can read about sf requirements here:
http://alguard.state.al.us/20th/qualification.htm

someone mentioned joining delta force. afaik you have to be sf, seals or at least recon marine, cia etc. and they will pick you if you're top knotch at your position.

the most important thing is to gain knowledge no matter how good you are at shooting people in the sf and above you better fed your brain while in school instead of drinking and doing drugs. (just my advice for the teenagers around ;-))

[rangerzrock]

ok thnx man for the tips ;)

[royal marine]

to do outdoor and mountain stuff u needto be a mountain leader who spends most time hiking and lots of other stuff like that and im gonna be a royal marine in 5 years cos im 13 too and u have to be well clever and well fit and have the strength ofa mind to carry on ....my cup of tea.....ill get in cos of my blood

[royal marine]

about being a ranger it was about........if i were you i would join seals if i was in USA

[byork]

To become a ranger get option 40 in your contract. That will get you to RIP. If you can make it past that hell you will be assigned to one of the Ranger Battalions and you will get your tan beret and your scroll. Once you are in Battalion for awhile you will get a slot for Ranger school. If you pass you go back to Batt with your tab. From what I've heard Batt. life is hard, but rewarding.

[royal marine]

HARD? :rolleyes:

[headpopper]
