What are Your Opinions On Going to Rasp At The age of 18 and after Basic. I have an Option 40 contract, Ranger, Airborn. This is everything I want, But to be honest, I don’t think I’m Mentally Ready and I can just feel it in my Gut that I will fail But I’m hoping that Just going to Basic it’s self will change that. Any tips?

I’m going to Pre-Ranger 29 August-12th September

ThatGuyKaos Hi there. Sorry for the late reply I need to get better at monitoring RU-vid. There’s no right or wrong answer. Here’s the most important thing. Be ready. A lot of the guys that fail RASP and RANGER SCHOOL do so because they’re not physically or mentally ready. Remember this. All special operations training is doable. You get physically ready buy training hard, you get mentally strong by getting physically strong.

ThatGuyKaos If you go to RASP at 18/19 make sure you’re ready before you even hit basic. There are many ways to do this. I can help there if you’re interested as well.

RASP and RANGER school training is brutal. What rangers show on RU-vid doesn’t represent how harsh it really is and they do this on purpose. We take OP security very serious unlike other spec ops groups, and regiment strings along dis information cause they’re always looking for 100 percent and then some. Not 99.9 percent and then some. Example. RASP is fucking brutal. It’s not a stepping stone for ranger school. It’s about even but BOTH ARE DIFFERENT GUT CHECKS! Dudes that complete rasp fail ranger school and ranger school guys fail rasp. If you Complete one of these 2 schools odds are you will make the other one but y’all get my point. Ranger training has always been a mind fuck. Most guys don’t even go straight through selection. Yes gents, I said selection. If you are one of the few that makes it through the first time it’s still up to the instructors to select you or not. Then your own peers evaluate you, and 2 guys from every squad have to go. This is why rangers are the best in the world. Physically tough, mentally tough, academically tough, most important competent. This is why we always have to rescue seals,. They do stupid shit and are not as ruthless. Rangers are killers, savages. But they are overly competent...ALL THIS SAID, THE TRAINING IS DOABLE AND DONT FALL FOR THE HYPE AND GET SCARRED. IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT SAY YOU CANT, and believe yourself, you will be just fine....I need to start making videos.

He has to wait at least 10 months

I really appreciate the kind words man!

I appreciate the kind words man!

Thats awesome bro! Appreciate the love man

i appreciate the kind words bro.

I am sorry to hear that brother, definitely go back and get that green beret!

what did you fail at?

Much love brudda!

Good luck man you will kill it!

Update?

I appreciate that brotha, and yeah man if you get it , just work your ass off!

Yo I'm shipping for basic in 39 days. Then I got 68w ait, then rasp, then airborne. Good luck bro

Look man just fuck it and throw your hat in the ring. Rangers and SF come in all shapes and sizes. Physical fitness is one of those things that anyone can improve as long as you stay consistent.

@@bruhbwoi3618how’d it go

It was heart crushing!

so everything is the same except rft day one

Ryne Yost yeah accept you do everything in a different order

Yep still shitty

Any tips ?

sit-ups is just regular standards, but for push-ups you will have to go 90 or maybe even past 90 degrees and full extension at the top

I appreciate the kind words, but I was 24 when I was at RASP.

I appreciate the support! Thank You so much!

I'm trying brotha, got a filmmakers block right now but it'll be back up soon!

What’s the difference between rasp v and pre rasp

@destinygo4616 you go to pre rasp to prepare for rasp.

@@limbanimkorongo1061 oh wow so they won’t kick you out of pre rasp if you can’t physically do the physical stuff when you get there? I have opt 40 and I’m suppose to go to rasp in 2 wks and I know for a fact I’m not physically ready but I know mentally I won’t give up. I just need more time to physically get ready

@destinygo4616 congratulations, i dont know what they can, do or won't do but pre rasp is to prepare you for rasp, its meant to be 4 weeks, according to the ranger training us he said if you show your ready they will send you to RASP before the 4 weeks has elapsed. Why do you feel like your not ready? I feel the same its going to be the Hardest thing we ever done.

@@limbanimkorongo1061 oh ok thank you. And because physically I’m not there yet. I wish I had more time to prepare. But yes I heard it’s going to be extremely hard

Thanks brother, and they are regular push-ups but chest to the ground, and sit-ups your feet are held. The ruck was Cole Range packing list so it was around 35-45 pounds.

Ryne Yost how many push ups and sit ups?

@@zaehughley6530 its posted in the video

did he say anything about water survial or land nav??

@@trissren4401 I don't remember hearing anything about land nav (so I assume it wasn't a big deal for him) and I asked him about the water survival assessment because I'm not a strong swimmer and he said it was really easy compared to other stuff and not to worry about it. If everything goes to plan I should be going to RASP in like 8 months so I can let you know how it goes then haha. The main takeaways I got from the conversation were that while it isn't easy, it isn't impossible and as long as you meet the pre-rasp requirements you will be capable of passing. He also pretty much said "just don't be a bitch about it and you will make it". I'm pretty sure he said most failures were people who quit and not due to a lack of ability to continue training. Some were medical and probably some from being underprepared physically, but most were voluntary quitters

@@ChickentNug whats the pipeline like to go to rasp? Im going to speak with a recruiter tomorrow and im kinda afraid to ask for option 40 lol. Can u tell me how u went through that process and how hard u had to study for the asvab jus to get the job

@@trissren4401 sure. I don't blame you for being nervous and I was too. Sorry for the massive message, but it kind of needs to be so I can clarify everything: What might work for you could be different than what might work for me, so don't just do this because I did, but I actually just got a contract to ensure I got the MOS I wanted (68W) and Airborne school (Option 4, not Option 40). My recruiter helped me decide on that because the Army changed how the pipeline works for Option 40s in the last few years. The way Option 40s work now is Basic training>AIT(or OSUT)>RASP>Airborne Instead of Airborne being before RASP, it's after now. They did this because a lot of people in the past went in with Option 40s and backed out as soon as they passed Airborne and didn't even attend RASP. The only issue is that with this pipeline, if you don't actually pass RASP, you will be assigned to a "regular" (not Airborne) unit in big Army. So with Option 40, the big upside is that you are guaranteed attendance at RASP and the downside is you are not guaranteed Airborne school. My recruiter helped me decide on an Option 4 because while RASP isn't 100% guaranteed, cadre and recruiters will reach out to your classes at both AIT(or OSUT) and after Airborne School and ask if there are any people who want to go to RASP. From pretty much everyone I've talked to that has experience with this, they've said that you are pretty much just as likely to get to go to RASP this way because the volunteers are going in to replace people who backed out of their Option 40s, and there are always a bunch of people who do that. So assuming it works out how it is supposed to, the Option 4 pipeline for me looks like: Basic Training > AIT > Airborne School (guaranteed) > RASP (not guaranteed but very likely). This way, I will be assigned to the 82nd Airborne no matter what according to my contract and I can leave once I am ready to go to RASP. Also, if I don't pass selection, I will be sent back to the Airborne unit I was already in before going to RASP in the first place and I will still be able to be an Airborne medic. Even if for whatever reason I'm not able to request RASP during AIT or Airborne, I can still contact the 75th's recruiters and I can get in to RASP that way. Also if you don't pass selection, you're allowed to retry in like 6 or 8 months or something (regardless of what contract you have), so it isn't that huge of a deal if I don't make it through. So for me personally, Option 4 was a better choice than Option 40 and my contract guarantees that no matter what I will be a 68W and in an Airborne unit (which I was told by the counselor at MEPS would be the 82nd Airborne). Depending on your MOS (or just what you want to do) this might not be a concern, but I was also told by a few people that Airborne units are more likely to be line units, so as a medic I will be more likely to be assigned to an infantry unit and less likely to be stuck working in a field hospital (which is kind of 50/50 with my MOS in non-airborne units). So I will still be pretty happy with where I end up if I don't pass selection for the Rangers. It depends on what your motivation is, though and what matters more to you. Do you want to be 100% certain that you will have an opportunity to be a Ranger and not sure you will be able to jump out of planes, or do you want to be 100% certain you will be able to jump out of planes and not certain you will be a Ranger?

@@trissren4401 for the ASVAB part of the question, to be honest I got lucky and scored pretty well both times I've taken it (I took it Sophomore year of HS and Senior year, since your ASVAB score only applies for 2 years after the test date). The ASVAB is kind of like taking the SAT but with more questions about general and kind of random knowledge things like how electronics work (and units related to them like Watts, Amps, and Ohms), auto and shop/ mechanical stuff (like gear ratios, pulleys, car parts, tool identification), and some other stuff like that on top of math, science, and reading. The last 3 for me were pretty easy because it's pretty much just stuff you learn in school, and the other stuff wasn't hard because honestly I'm kind of a geek and have spent a metric assload of time on RU-vid over the years watching videos on how that kind of stuff works. There are also a lot of good apps on mobile and websites on pc that you can use to do practice ASVAB tests. That way you can see how you scored and find out what areas you're lacking in. I think you can schedule a more official practice test with your recruiter, too, and it will be more accurate So make sure you do practice tests to see (pretty roughly, they aren't identical to the real tests) how you will do and find what areas you're not doing as well in. Then, just look shit up on RU-vid and teach yourself concepts in that field (like if you're not doing super well in auto/shop, watch videos on the different parts of cars or videos on the different types of valves that exist). I'm not a very smart person but I scored 92 on the AFQT (like the main score thing separate from the smaller scores for specific areas), which is a pretty decent score. I think the biggest reasons I got a good score were that I found the areas I sucked in and improved them. It's not really as much about how smart you are as a person (because I'm not far off average) and more about how much random shit you know. Some people will need to study a bunch to get a score they like and some don't really need to study at all. Just practice enough that you are confident you will do good enough to meet the requirement for your chosen MOS (and the required GT composite score for RASP which you can look up online I forgot what it is) and make sure you take the test without test anxiety. You'll do fine, it really isn't that hard as long as you practice first.

Thanks man, maybe in the near future

My pleasure!

bro you will learn everything you need to know in osut before going into rasp -what ive heard from the people in the know

We did forsure man, hope you're doing good brotha!

Honestly just doing bodyweight workouts so push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, running and whatever other type of cardio you want to improve in. For your neck I suggest lying on a bench and literally doing neck curls forward and backward and sidways. Once you can perform that with ease upgrade to a 5 pound plate or even 10 pound plate. Good luck man

Thanks for watching man!

I appreciate the kind words my dude, and just so you know I am nowhere near a professional when it comes to fitness, but i will try my best!

@@ryneyost3076 Thanks man, take care and hope everything works out both in the Army and in the civi world.

how do i get better at land nav???

Go have someone put markers in the woods, print out a gridded map of said area with the markers on the map a and compass so you have your north beariNg and go at it do this 10 times with different markers and different terrain and id say you got it

yes

u prb will be fatigued during rasp so have a good buffer like 20-30% more at peak conditions

One thing I heard a seal say is that your never going to get faster/stronger at BUDS or whatever your going too. So be so far above the scores that you don’t have to worry about passing it even with a broken foot and the flu.

They could have changed it!

I believe that is the entry test. Entry as in, what you would take at pre-rasp. I could be wrong though.

Honestly I'd train past the standard posted here. It's a win-win, anyways

Keep doing them but push pass 58. Do 58 then go for 82.

I gotta trick that got me to 103 in the 2 minutes. It was shooting for a goal that’s way higher that you can do. And telling yourself your not allowed to get less. So if your max is 58 tell yourself your not getting less than 70.

There was not anything specific I did to prepare for RASP, I just did the more intense pt programs in AIT and that got my running up a lot but most of RASP is really mental man, and Pre-Rasp will get you prepared for RASP. I also appreciate the love and support!

Alrighty awesome awesome man appreciate you responding and defenetly keep trying man I know you said you weren’t going to right away and you had other goals but hopefully if you give it another shot your successful

Also I didn’t realize this is what you said but our builds are polar opposites lol, I’m 6’3 and was 230 in rasp

lol well yeah lol your right lol

I guess I meant that you looked like a heavy set guy, not fat just big....and me for my height I’m about the same...that’s what I was relating to lol

The information is not really outdated if the for sure events are still the same, but my class got wormed a lot too, that was only because we had people messing up all the time. Thanks for the information.

Pre RASP you will have your phone everyday, but in RASP my class did not get to have our phones until the weekends and phase 2 we got our phones taken away till week 7

Ryne Yost Thanks for the intel! Will we be able to send and receive mail throughout? Excluding the field of course.

@@teaganbernshausen4566 I mean you can have stuff mailed to the ups store on post in Benning and pick it up on weekends

Aye bro u got gram or something I can hyu on ? I’m tryna hear about the pipeline (in hs)😂

I mean they teach Land Nav for a whole week and tell you everything you need to know, but a tip that I think helped me on the Land Nav test was that I should plot all my points and then go to the farthest point first and work your way back. Hope this helps.

It is timed, 2 minutes for push-ups, 2 minutes for sit-ups, 40 minutes for the 5 mile run and there is not time limit for the chin-ups.

5 miles

in 40 min

Yeah man!

@@ryneyost3076 this might be a stupid question but is it 2 minutes for push ups and sit ups at once or do you get get 2 minutes for push ups and then another 2 minutes for sit ups. Hopefully that made sense

@@magmapopcorn8311 2 minutes per event

@@magmapopcorn8311 Not a stupid question at all my man, but tis 2 minutes for each event so 2 minutes push ups, 2 minutes sit ups, 40 minutes for 5 mile run, and no time limit for chin ups

It wasn't that bad because once you put into perspective that you are not the only one and you are sucking together with everyone else it is not that bad!

I appreciate it bro.

@@ryneyost3076 🤙more than what most would do.

uuummm I guess however many times you want as long as your leadership will send you. Hope this helps.

Yes they let me wear glasses

Ryne Yost I have bad vision as well. I currently wear contacts(which I know they won’t allow), but are you required to wear a certain pair? Also, does it make training any harder, having to wipe them off or not being able to see if they get dirty or fogged?

@@braydenkukla1858 aslong as you have something that can correct your sight to 20/20, your fine.

yes chin ups

I volunteered!

@@ryneyost3076 hey man I loved your video. So you said that you volunteered, how long were you in the conventional army?

Thank you!

all uphill from what ive heard, so train for that

they make you do 6 chin ups
