EP-342 | Becoming a U.S. Army Ranger
We sat down in the Darby Room at 75th Ranger Regiment HQ, Fort Moore (aka Fort Benning) with Sergeant First Class Togami and discussed the history of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the various units within and where they're located, the path to becoming an Army Ranger (both as a civilian and in-service), and more.

@Jstaylor679 Год назад

I’m currently awaiting MEPS and hoping to sign an option 40, I’ve had differing opinions on being able to volunteer in OSUT if I wasn’t able to secure an option 40. If they won’t let me sign an option 40 due to a medical waiver, will they let me volunteer in OSUT?

@himehime1629 Год назад

@@Jstaylor679 Yes, every OSUT and AIT will have a 75th and airborne volunteer program. I don't know how OSUT does it but most entry level volunteers do pre rasp PT to help you get more prepped. I don't think a medical waiver would stop you from getting an option 40 though.

@stevenk5152 7 месяцев назад

I'm prior service myself, and decided if I ever went back in I would go to the regiment. And after watching this, it gave me a lot of hope. While I was in the big army in 2015 I self selected, and didn't think I would make it. But after watching this, boy lemme tell you, it really changed my view and gave me a lot of hope.

Prepare your body to be at its peak, keep yourself from being injured with rest and recovery techniques, diet is key, keep a clean head and mind, no drug no drink, practice self resolve and perseverance. Learn to network both online via network systems and with your peers, lead by example not words or attitude. Lead this way.

@JK56782 Год назад

Graduated OSUT this past December. SF liaison showed up, Ranger liaison did not. Even though my senior Drill SGT specifically reached out to them bc there were a lot of us trying to secure an option 40 contract, never happened. From my recent personal experience, if you really want an option 40 contract, don’t go to OSUT without one. You might have to wait a little bit longer but it will save you the frustration.

@Mentors4mil Год назад

A person can always apply by reaching out to 75recruit@socom.mil or call 706.545.5124. You don’t need an option 40 and there’s nothing that should stop someone who wants it bad enough.

Ranger tabs ... where a person has attended Ranger School and are "Ranger qualified" ... and there is the scroll, with or without the tab, which means a soldier is actually a Ranger, serving in Regiment.

I'm shipping out with a 68W Option 4 contract on September 11th with the intention of putting a packet in for RASP 1 at Airborne School while at Ft Moore. I've been getting pretty nervous about RASP and whether I'll meet the physical requirements, but after talking to someone with my same MOS who is already in the Regiment and watching this video, I feel so much better about it. I can't wait to go and I'm nervous, but this video was very reassuring. Thank you

@MilkAndSpaghetti 11 месяцев назад

How long did it take you to get a 68w option 4?

@ChickentNug 11 месяцев назад

@@MilkAndSpaghetti I was lucky and they just had one first try. Make sure you have your recruiter look in their system for the contract you want before you go to MEPS. For me at least, they were able to reserve the contract and I just had to set a concrete date for when I would go to MEPS and swear in and stuff. If I didn't go to MEPS within like a week of when I was supposed to I would've been barred from reserving another contract I think

@@EckRD I was in holdunder status at AIT for about a month (graduated basic Nov 30) and started class January 4th. I'm currently about 4 weeks into EMT phase of AIT and have 12-13 left until I graduate. Not sure when Airborne will be, but I've heard there has been at least a 1-2 month delay for other people at my AIT so I expect to be a holdover until at least May, maybe June. Unfortunately there aren't RASP liasons at FSH, otherwise I would've put in a packet as soon as possible. I'm still going to try at Airborne, though. I'll be pretty bummed if I don't get the opportunity to go to selection, but at the bare minimum I should still be wearing a red beret by the end of 2024

@MooreThanEnoughMinistries 7 месяцев назад

So I was 605lbs… started wanting to make a change for my life! Down to 450lbs in 10 months and still pushing harder to finish getting this weight off. My motivation is of course my health for my family and kids, but also because I’m 35 and I regret not having joined when I was 18. Now I that is all I can think of is losing and joining. My question is, once I am down to weight. Can I still get to Rangers? At my age and having been this heavy, everyone is saying that I have destroyed my body and that main Army is one thing, but my dream of being a Ranger is gone! At this point I am willing to push to body failure, I don’t care. I just can’t live with regret of knowing that I never tried!

You will not pass medical at this time due to your body composition bmi at 450lbs down from 605 as you have stated. keep working to build your health, lose weight for your health first, even getting the chance for army itself is an honorable duty to strive for and perhaps with more weight loss that could be a possibility if no other medical conditions persist but bmi is a calculated percentage via medical screens

It’s primarily due to many of the individuals who volunteer prior to enlistment then change their mind, whereas those who decide while in OSUT have a higher rate of success. It’s a comparative analysis between two modalities - pre enlistment and post enlistment.

It’s hard to know what specifically was denied unless he received that feedback. They look at an individuals entire record and make a determination as to whether they need a persons MOS at that time and whether they want the soldier to assess.
