Ranger schools a great way to lose weight and learn to talk to trees that’s what one of my former sq leaders told me lol
And to get out of staff duty
Facts … my best friend in Ranger School was a bald cypress in a Florida swamp!
Hmmm sounds sus to be to honest, class 10-04 graduate and no one came out the way we went in. We lose all muscle and come out looking pregnant due to the lack of sleep and starvation the body eats all the muscle and stores the fat.
Well he was trying to sound like a bad ass and failed. Anyone that has gone through ranger school and has that tab is proud. Your boy is frontin
@@alexking2476 That's a lie. There's a whole discussion on forums of Rangers saying how pointless Ranger School is as it has no identity on what it wants to be and thus fails at everything because of diminishing returns, with its only purpose being a right of passage.
Ranger School graduate class 3 Feb 15 2001. I agree completely. It's a course for "leaders" to test if they can lead, not just, on their worst day. They do it to test if they can lead if their worst day lasted 62 days, in ways that would break nearly all who tried. You are a leader who cannot be broken if you graduate. But you don't see the aimless in the ranks of graduates.
thanks for sharing brother.
@@GreenBeretChronicles Congratulations on retirement, hope it's all you deserve. Wishing you the best from a Ghost of JBLM. RLTW but CAG drew the map. Go Army!
@@abovethenoise1718 thank you sir.
Class 14-82 here. This guy in the video is absolutely correct, and so are you, brother.
Yes ... I was "RANGER INSTRUCTOR" ( Medical / Tae Kwon-Do "Combatives" ) to "1st / 75th Rangers" at PELHAM RANGE, Alabama, around 1975 ; I believe that LTC PAUL STANG was Bn Cmdr at that time . MERRY CHRISTMAS 2022
Dude, I went to Ranger School in 1988 and at that time my platoon sergeant said "It's just a gut check, you'll learn nothing you don't already know". He was right. (got promotion points, though)
That’s awesome. I just want to make sure people understand what they are getting themselves into
Your platoon sergeant was right. 14-85 here. Last hard class...
What class were you in ?
Yeah Ranger school is different now. It’s 100% a leadership course and less so just a 62 day or more suck fest. Def still sucks but more critically thinking and decision making is put into play now
I served in the 2/75th,and graduated Ranger school class 3-81 as an E-3...Got my E-5 stripes while in Panama 1983..Was surprised how little Ranger school was used as far as points for promotion at that time..PNCOC garnered more points
I'm a cook that worked in the 2nd Ranger Battalion RDF from 91-96 Ranger class 1-93 winter ranger! Ranger school sucked no sleep and starving hallucinating in the desert phase, lol! I got back and was promoted to E-4 as every private that goes to Ranger school in Batt! I will share this in my section. we had 10 tabbed out cooks in my battalion alone! I believe we had the most in Regiment at one point in time!
We were there at the same time, and you are correct sir! I was in C/Co 2/75 from 93-96. Graduated Ranger School Class 11-94. As a newbie PFC in 93, it was inspiring to see Ranger cooks serving chow. Why? Because Ranger Batt set high expectations no matter what the MOS was. Of course...Best chow hall at Ft Lewis bar none! Loved our Ranger cooks.
@@jamescampbell2411 You just brung back some great memories!
“Of those who fail, over 62 percent do not meet the initial physical and skills assessments tests (e.g., pushups, 12-mile foot march, land navigation) given during the first week of the course-the tough, week-long Ranger Assessment Phase (RAP). Ten percent leave the course for administrative reasons (injury, voluntary removal, major violations of course rules, etc.). Thirteen percent leave for failing their graded patrols. Finally, less than 1 percent fail for bad evaluations by their peers, perhaps the only direct measure of leadership flaws.”
For those who were wondering what was stated after the video cut off
Thanks
I'm the 1%
So to be a US Ranger, try to look like Josuke Joestar. Not too big but not too small. If you get injured, just try again.
@@dfmcgee42 yeah I heard people were getting voted out by their own squads.
@@chenbong3929 yeah my experience was a little different. I hate playing the victim card because it's not my character. But I went during the first months of COVID. The population for ranger school at the time was super small because they were only accepting students from Benning and eventually Campbell and Stewart. I did 2 Darbys, and 2 Mountains. I'm not going to lie I got peered my first Mountains for being the "gray man" although I passed my patrols. Lesson Learned. Recycled for 3 weeks and got put with a new Squad. We had great chemistry and they accepted me well, plus I knew the POI in super detail because of clases during Recycle. Then right after Rappel week and at the beginning of Techniques (practice before doing the Mountain Phase FTX) I was switched to a new squad because they barely had 11 people and complained about it.
I passed both of my patrols, got a major plus spot report (a RI gave it to me for picking up trash), and still got peered out by that Squad. When I protested at the Battalion and Brigade boards, I got shot down even though my Peer comments were all positive and they just ranked me low. I got a Do Not Return for a year, and went forward to my unit.
People say that not having a ranger tab as an infantry officer is bad, that it hurts your career, and that you'll get tab checked and overlooked. Honestly that experience has truly humbled me, and I learned a lot from the training I was taught there. In my opinion, not having my tab made me a better officer/leader because I was looked over by my peers with tabs. And I always had to work to prove myself because of it. I'm not an OER chaser or a brown nose, but I can confidently say that my last 3 OERs have been MQs.
05-08 graduation class, and this man is spot on. Went as an E4, straight through and it just made me better.. but I’d already deployed twice and knew the suck before. Still a valuable school!!!
Do you think the deployments gave you an edge? As you got to see first hand how the army works in theatre
I'm not the same guy but I was a PFC on one deployment and it helps a bit with Army schoolhouse stuff, but schools are TRADOC so knowing the doctrine is usually better for succeeding in those ways. This is how some 09S soldiers have been able to excel in my OCS class while I was used to the less doctrine and more practical way the Army works downrange. That's just my experience. It depends on the soldier. Ain't done Ranger School yet but really thinking about it.
Class 07-04, 100% spot on, if you have deployed on the line before going to the course you won't learn a lot. I went before I had deployed and learned as much from other students in my class as I did from the RIs.
We had foreign students, Batt Boys, GBs, Force Recon, SEALs, and even a few AF CCTs.
@@curtissmallwood6997 100%, just knowing basic SUT and having used them in combat
14-89. Four phases (Benning, Mountain(Ga), Swamp(FL), Desert(UT). It was a GUT check. Biggest Cuts(fails) were in the first two weeks at Benning during PT, Ruck, Land Nav, Swim Test, Runs). Later phases were injuries and inabilities to pass patrols (and just to gut it out) - I was surprised at how many people were cut from the course for not being prepared prior to showing up, and those that just said, “they were done and didn’t want to gut it out”. Ranger School was very much a look into a persons soul and what they would give you, themselves and the team when the chips were down (in a controlled situation that was extended for 74 days). *everyone there KNEW it would eventually end, but they still quit. “It definitely gives you a look at people and also let’s you put the average Joe on a scale as to how he will behave when the Shit really hits the fan on the streets of this country, if things were to go sideways - trust no one.” Outside of all of that, go get the tab.
@user-hy2os3wy7s early 90s was last. Now Ranger School is shorter 62 days versus 74 days.
@user-hy2os3wy7syou should do more research before saying that Ranger school didn’t have a 4th phase at Dugway UTAH.
The very first day at about 7am of the 220 ranger school candidates in my 3-81 class,about 20 were on there way home...
Was 1/75th bat ranger went through school 1983..i saw a guy put a quarter in a tree thinking it was a soda machine from the heat exhaustion
Ranger class 12-92….I went as a PFC….. RANGER school is an ultimate Gut check Course. You have to lead soldiers when they are cold, hungry and tired. It may not have leadership in the POI, but I was being graded at a skill level 3 and 4, as. PFC. You have about a week to figure out what kind of leader you will be when everyone is cold, hungry and tired. Because that train does not stop until you are taking that class photo under the Ranger Tab.
I graduated 1-93 that's funny 1 class ahead of me!
@@danielking9252I wouldn’t tell soldiers NOT to go. It is vital for infantrymen and their promotion. It could be a deciding factor for a leadership position. It’s teaches everyone, even infantryman how to succeed in every position in a squad on combat patrols. You will rotate into every position in the squad, you will conduct raids, ambushes, and recons, you will provide left side, right side security. You will learn what to do and what not to do in every position, and the WHY……..so when you get back to your unit….. you can be a more proficient leader.
I spent 6 months in Ranger School, because I showed up completely unprepared. BUT I had to learn the BIG ARMY’s dirty little secret, which is most Leaders (Officers and NCO’s) don’t understand basic patrolling on Squad and Platoon level. They don’t understand how dynamic the Battle Field can be, so they struggle to adapt, and they don’t prepare students well for Ranger School.
Many try to hide their lack of understanding, by burying themselves and their subordinates in a overly complex planning and execution process. Soldiers usually articulate this as “What the fuck is happening?” Generally, the answer is “nothing is happening”.
This is where the SOF community separates themselves. They understand how dynamic the Battle Field is so they develop “Principles” for everything. These principles allow them to develop a fairly simple plan, that can be adapted to MANY different scenarios. AND that is Ranger School.
Darby is displaying you understand doctrinal Squad Operations with a Machine Gun Team attached.
Mountains is displaying you understanding Doctrinal (Light) Platoon Operations with three squads, and two machine guns teams.
And Florida is the “Run Phase”, students need to display they understand doctrine, but they also don’t allow doctrine to restrict creativity and common sense.
The enemy WILL always get a vote, and when they make a mistake you need to exploit that mistake. BUT units that are trying to get out of their own way, will miss it because they aren’t paying attention. Ranger School is a validation course…
Then why you go to Danger World?
@@SaundersE5what?
Lol you’re such a nerd
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah… You missed the ENTIRE Point Numb Nuts!
@@Rocketrich88 everything you said is absolute bullshit! You never went to Ranger School and I doubt you even enlisted. No one spends 6 months in Ranger School. NO ONE, FOR ANY REASON.
Carry On!!
Going to ranger school after winter leave for the merch. Gotta have a tab flag in my home gym one day
You are likely enjoying yourself there right now. If merch is the whole reason though.. I wouldn't have stayed if I just wanted merch. I hated the tab in RS. I thought the RI's were a bunch of POS's for the most part. This was 2006 and most still hadn't deployed.
@@robf8023 bullshit! Every Cadre at Ranger School are Rangers that are also Ranger Qualified AND deployed! Not sure what horseshit you've been eating but you obviously never attended Ranger School to be talking shit about it or it's Cadre!
Carry On "hero"
Did you got it?
If someone came out of school thinking that - THAT is how you are supposed to lead... we'd be hurting. Ranger School wants you to be the most micro managing asshole as possible.. and often it is what you have to do to get your go. The circumstances are so crappy, everyone around you not being graded are trying to cut corners. RS 05-06
I’ve always believed that there are two types of warriors those that are natural leaders and those that are better at following orders. They are both extremely important to the success of a mission. One cannot survive without the other. Now I believe leadership can be learned but only through experience which is why those that follow usually become great leaders later in their careers. Learning to lead is often easier but learning how to follow can be extremely challenging
I believe this. I'm going through OCS as a prior enlisted and I quite miss being a follower because leadership isn't natural to me. But I've been in that position and now the school is breaking down the follower to build me up as a leader. It works slowly for me but it's working nonetheless. And once I become a 2LT, it'll still be a learning process since we all know how butter bars are.
Having lived both lives is something I'm glad to have experienced. A part of me wishes I had had some NCO time too but it honestly isn't great for some people before going Officer, since you can easily get locked into that enlisted mindset. It depends on the soldier, really.
@@jamesb.russell2942 if 90% sure that I’ll be re-entering the military next year. I now that true leaders inspire those below them to follow.
Let it be known, this is what all hats should look like.
😂😂😂😂
Lmaoooo fuck no.
Give me a clean 59fifty any day of the week
Once talked to a dude at the kandahar airport...had both his ranger and sapper tabs, so i asked him what the schools were like. He said nothing about leadership. Regarding ranger school, his response was "they continuously starve and sleep deprive you into a stupor to see if you can function..."
Ranger school makes you a hell of a gambler
Graduated class 14-82, and you are completely correct, brother. I learned a lot about myself in Ranger School, but if you’re not a leader when you go in, this school will likely break you.
Thank You for saying this. I am so sick of people who know all about Ranger School and never attended it. I never went to Ranger School but I know it's really difficult and I've seen a lot of people go in great shape and not make it. If you're not a female or your father is not a four star general that school is a MF!
I'd have to disagree with this. As a junior enlisted, it is a great teacher and eye opener. I was a PFC running oporders and shit. Can't speak if your a officer, but there is great benefits that can come from it as a enlisted. You learn how to LEAD and FOLLOW.
I appreciate your opinion
I was wondering where you were going to go with this. After watching, I agree completely.
Good to hear
Graduate of Class 05-05. I humbly disagree and so would SH 21-76 (Ranger Handbook). Are there things that one should know prior to attending? Yes. However, if you attending any school you should have a foundational understanding of what you’re getting into. Ranger School is not an assessment and selection.
I went as a PFC and was thrown into several high end leadership positions (Darby - SL, Mountains - PSG, Swamps - PL planning). I learned the basics of planning in what was at the time called Pre-Ranger now is Small Unit Ranger Tactics. That said what I learned in Pre-Ranger was taught again at length during the course. Principles of leadership was also taught THROUGHOUT the course. The number one item that you’re taught is how to serve others while in austere conditions and while being mentally/physically exhausted. Additionally, you will be thrown into leadership positions over people who may or may not be of higher rank and more experienced than yourself (Ranger School is rank immaterial). Your success will mainly be dependent on your ability to lean on the knowledge and experience of those you’re in charge of to make things happen and make them happen successfully. You will be evaluated on your ability to lead, work well with others, and be decisive.
Prior to school, some may have a propensity towards some of the leadership attributes necessary to be successful but the majority do not. Some have a proclivity to being successful due to the stressors candidates experience throughout the 62 days. However, to say Ranger School is not a military leadership course is flat out wrong advice.
Personal knowledge. We had a group of 5 SF guys who had recently graduated the Q and received their long tabs and green berets. They went to Pre-Ranger with my class. Of the 5 that went on one graduated from Ranger School with the other four quitting. Additionally, their team sergeants sent them so they can gain some leadership experience and more knowledge about themselves.
Going to Ranger School prior to going to SFAS will set those candidates up for success in the Q and when on a team. Is it necessary prior to attending SFAS? no. However, I would argue that a Ranger qualified candidate will bring something more to the table.
That 62% failing because of the physical requirements is mainly on the first day and this stat is based of the first weeks. Think about it. If you can’t meet the physical requirements why allow a candidate to continue the remaining 57 days?
It was at one time a school you went to if you were a warrior. Now you can graduate from Ranger school just by being a female. Go to the rear every three or four days to shower. Be gone from 4-6 hours. Recycle any part you fail that same day instead of being dropped.
Many years ago, I was with the 118th M. P Co. 16th M.P. BDE. The only M. P Airborne BDE in the Army. My sqd leader SSG Amablie went to Ranger school. He earned his tab. He told us that hell has nothing on this school. It was the hardest school he had gone through. He went on to become a CSM. Which doesn't suprise me. He was squared away.
It tests your leadership. It's a great measuring tool for your ability to lead
Solid content brother. Aspiring ranger here.
Tabbed out 08-96...even won the skits on MT Yonah!! Hot chow!!!!! And yes you're 100% correct. If it wasn't for Battalion pre Ranger, than Brigade I wouldn't have been as prepared. The rest was just a gut check. A big gut check!
It is a leadership school and it will greatly benefit you in personal life and in your military career. Don’t justify it to give an excuse why you don’t want to go. Every soldier in the military is a leader and will have to step up at one point but yes you must learn to also follow orders. Go through it, you won’t regret it later.
The worst leader I ever had had a Ranger tab
Did they let you use that ballcap at ranger school?
I was looking for this comment😂
While i agree with the OP on most of his points, I disagree on his stance of NOT going to Ranger school. The things you will learn in Ranger school are EXTREMELY beneficial. ESPECIALLY if you are in a combat MOS. I was a medic in 1st Bat in the 80s, and the mental and physical toughness i developed during Ranger school helped me to be a well versed Medic and trainer to the noobs. And successful paramedic, and PA as a civilian.
That being said, if you are looking towards SFAS, Ranger school is a good mental and physical aid. But yes, it's not, per se,a "leadership" course. A lot of soldiers get to the Rangers as low ranking enlisted. You develop that leadership ability as you progress. So, I guess I'll retract my previous statement.... Kinda! 😅 RLTW!
I always heard ranger was a leadership course, never heard anyone say it taught them to be a leader in any capacity.
Ranger school is a feather in your cap that gets you to a leadership position.
I am too old for that 41 pushing 42.. and been out of reserve and active duty.. wish I could rewind time 😊
They used to need rangers now it looks more like West point summer camp and recruiting PR school
Well than my boy has got this ❤❤❤
Ranger schools adds points to your promotion score. Then as you progress in rank soldiers with a tab usually fair better then the ones that aren’t. So no it isn’t a leadership school but it helps to get promoted.
Ranger school doesn't sound like fun. I went through Marine Corps bootcamp back in 1988. I'm not going to say I had a blast but I had fun and enjoyed it. In the 3 months, I lost fat and gained muscle. Got plenty of sleep and food.
Sounds like Ranger school is longer, not enough sleep, not enough food, and a lot of exercise and hard work. This is a good combination to lose muscle and gain fat.
You know this guy is legit with the "team guy" hat curl
It appears to be a survival course. Good leaders survive hard times through gret, preparation beforehand, forming a plan however simple and seeing it through. Bad leaders can't do this. If you can get through the school you have a foundation to lead.
It was always told to me that it is an Advanced Leadership Course. It's why having a Ranger Tab is required to be an Infantry PL.
I always felt that Ranger School was essentially the Infantry OSUT FTX just extended to 60 Days.
Normal Infantry OSUT FTX is like 1 Weeks.
seems like a little confusion here between Ranger School and earning a tab vs RASP or used to be RAP which is 61 days and you get the ranger scroll

2. On average how much sleep do you get if you get recycled ?

I've literally never heard that. That's crazy to believe that
Ranger school was easy 62 n through as a PFC gettin after it
Great tip. Had to watch multiple times though. Im a mouth reader but I wasnt sure if your mouth or nose was talking to me.
Why not let us actual Rangers from the Ranger Regiment define what ranger school is to us….it sets appropriate boundaries and mitigates misinformation.
Should the 75th be in charge of Ranger School then? Is that a responsibility they would be willing to have (in addition to RASP 1&2)?
I don’t really have a choice, I’m gonna be in the 75th ranger regiment, and even if I make it through rasp they will make me go to ranger school

Stay home in your ODA silkies. Not for the faint or weak of heart.
I was in the Rangers in the early 80s. Went to Fort Benning for infantry, Airborne school , did my AIT there as well and Ranger school. With that being said in today's world the military itself is not leadership. Our military is weak and broken compared to 80s. Todays military with the new our new generation is a big joke. The government has failed the new generation for many reasons, First they allow the soldiers to take there cell phones out in the field which is a big no no, They now have women in the combat field which is another no no, I have seen UA-cam videos of females and males having sex out in the field ( wtf ) this makes the soldiers weak and vulnerable, How can you perform your combat training with any seriousness if your occupied with free sex out in the field, it's a big joke. Also they pretty much have hot meals out in the field, to much luxury for soldiers out in the field which again makes a soldier weak . My cousin said to me now they have stress cards for basic training soldiers that each soldier gets and if that soldier feels the drill sergeant is to hard on him or her they pull out this stupid stress card and are allowed to take a 1hr break ? Are you kidding me. There is no way in gods Creation I would do any combat with our new generation because they would get me killed because they would be in there cell phones texting there mommy and daddy not paying attention. It's ridiculous. Back in the 80s The military itself taught you leadership including Ranger school or any other school but now the military is not like it was back in the 80s. Army and all military is one big joke now. It's not as hard core as it once was. The new generation is completely clueless as to how the military was back in the 80s. So they will never know, They all think they know it all because this is how are new generation is, They probably think the military is hard but it's not hard at all in today's world, These soldiers today would never make it through basic training in the 80s because they are given to much luxury in today's world. They don't know what it's like to shoot a M -16 with open sights and have to hit your target we had no red dot scopes lol , only people who had scopes were snipers. In today's world if the soldiers red dot fails they will all die because they would not know how shoot with open sights. Ranger School is probably not leadership in today's world but the military in general is not leadership anymore because they are to soft now, they let the soldiers get away with way to much. The reason women are making it through Ranger school is because it's not as hard as it was back in the 80s. There are to many followers out there and not enough leaders in 2023. The new generation has it to easy . The things they think are hard are easy compared to what it was in the 80s. Of course I'm sure all these new generation will disagree because that's there mentality.
1SG tells the truth. Listen to him. He is one of the best. Why? He was a Special Forces NCO at the top level. That is not like being a regular NCO.
I agree with a lot of this but not 100% on the premise. Every candidate rotates through several leadership positions during the course and that is what most of the grading is based on. I don't see how that equates to "leadership is not in the POI" -in my opinion that's because the entire course is about basic leadership under the most stressful mental and physical conditions. Ask this question- "can you pass Ranger school if you fail all your graded leadership positions " - of course not. I hated every minute of Ranger school; but in my first assignment as an Infantry platoon leader I began to see the genius of the course.
one of my friends was top candidate as a Canadian soldier on his ranger course.
many don't know that we often have a candidate on the courses
Also another friend took the course in the 70s and he had two turks on the course and one passed and was promoted the other was a return and he dissapeared
Looks like that hat has been ranger school.
Hello sir, first off I’d like to thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country. I had a question about attending ranger school, if I were to go to the Air Force, could I still go though Ranger school?
Yes ranger is open to all the branches, however you have to apply and get accepted to go, your work must require it
@@GreenBeretChronicles Alright, thank you sir.
@@GreenBeretChronicles thanks
I wonder what someone with a Ranger tab would say about this.
Best advice I got before heading to Ranger School was “No one has ever graduated Ranger School” translated “No one single person has ever graduated”, the only way to make it all 62 days is to work as a team and always put your classmates before yourself.
Hey man what's going on with the craziness at 3rd group?
It had to happen man.
Where did u get that hat !!!!
Imo, leadership has nothing to do with any schools in the military. WLC, BOLC, Sapper School, Ranger school etc. Either you are naturally a good leader from experience gained or not. You can go to no school at all and still be a good leader. Rank don't mean you CAN lead.
I agree..
True . There are US Rangers that are good leaders that did not go to Ranger school . Have to learn and make yourself a good leader each day .
I believe it is and isn't. It's a leadership school in that you are graded based on leadership positions and they hand out leadership awards at the end of class. But, leadership isn't a "class" that's taught as part of the school yet, you learn ways (self-taught) to lead others when they are a cold/hot, dirty, hangry Zombie.
Facts.
I'm not paying attention in just lookin at your hat
Every SF guy has a hat that looks similar, I’ve had it for 14 years now
Same lol
Bro you bend the fuck out of it like that ronin dude
Here is a link to the first chapter of the ranger handbook. ua-cam.com/video/BoqytqjGR6w/v-deo.html
Thanks chris
That's Cap. Ranger School is a leadership course absolutely.. Looking at your Tabs I see you're not a graduate of US Army Ranger School. Ranger School is a 62-day small unit tactics and leadership course that develops functional skills directly related to units whose mission is to engage the enemy in close combat and direct fire battles
You’re right I don’t have a ranger, I chose to deploy with my team instead of going to ranger. I learned everything I need to learn on that deployment, ranger school not needed. Thanks for the comment
@@GreenBeretChronicles I'm not trying to diminish your spectacular accomplishments but you said Ranger School is not a leadership school. BTW I recycled every phase except Florida 9-91
I understand sir, we will have to agree to disagree on this one. Thank you
Still going to ranger school.
Disagree somewhat. The only way to get through Ranger School is to get a "Go" in various leadership positions. Being physically strong and tough doesn't get you through.
I do agree that they don't teach you how to lead. You need to already know or pull some leadership skills out of your 4th point of contact.
Lol it's let's get hungry tired try to get cokes out of a tree. And not quit. Just don't quit. Everyone hurts everyone's miserable. Come ready and with a man heart

@@GreenBeretChronicles great(B)advice I like that word typo or no. I'm gonna throw out my first team leaders name he's never been off grid this long last I heard a Bragg hooker played him and he got her pregnant and so USASOC was going to make an example of him or someshit. He was a MSG he spent 10 +years in a team previous in Germany, BUT when he and HIS old lead came through on TDY I'd buy pizzas and beer and let everyone crash in the living room. Do you still have SoFnet access. I haven't heard or seen him in over prob 8 years
MSG Raphael Perez. Last thought at the dog bite/ train house
This is not true in all cases. I gained a lot of lessons in leadership from that course. I recycled every phase for patrols and here are some of the major lessons I learned as a junior officer with minimal leadership experience at the time.
1. Don’t blindly trust people that have poor reputations with competency and attitude. It’s easy for a junior officer to blindly trust another Soldier just because they’re an NCO. There are a lot of incompetent Officers in the Army and more incompetent NCOs. That’s just because there are more NCOs than Officers. It takes a mature leader to be able to place the mission first instead of appeasing an incompetent Soldier’s advice.
2. Be empathetic. The worst people to work with were the individuals that lost their shit over people falling asleep. Everyone fell asleep on patrol because we’re all human and getting unnaturally deprived of sleep. I would lose a lot of respect for people that made falling asleep a personal insult because they act as hypocrites. Just be gentle when you can and stern when necessary.
3. Don’t do everything by the book. Decision making can be simple and fast if you quickly evaluate what will happen if you DON’T make that decision. Whichever option would have a worse outcome if you don’t make it, then that’s the right decision.
4. Be comfortable with assuming tactical risk and have a justified reason for it. Don’t just cut corners to cut corners.
Ranger school won’t teach you how to be a good leader in garrison, it teaches you how to be a good tactical leader, decision maker, and member of a team. Just because you have a tab won’t make you a great leader. Ranger school is about 85% luck and 15% competency.
Definitely saw a lot of guys pass their patrols that shouldn’t have but got lucky because RIs have different opinions and sometimes aren’t always watching. I would argue that people who go straight through have less lessons and experiences to learn from.
U know black ppl don’t wear our hats like this 😂😂😂
I am a soldier of the Philippines, can I train there with the US Army Rangers
Had plenty of foreign soldiers from all over the world including the Philippines attend ranger school when I went through which was pretty recent ask your leadership for an oppurtunity
@@wagnerburke2765 wow that's crazy I never knew other countries could attend
@@SuperSohSo people all around the world go. Ranger School is the worlds most premiere leadership course. We had a local interpreter in Afghanistan who graduated from Ranger school
@@curtissmallwood6997 can Civilians go
Still have to go after rasp
Someone needs to replace their hat hahaha
6-96
School was an Army leadership test.
and gut check. RLTW
Does anyone know how u fail admin in ranger school?
It does teach you how to lead small unit tactics in adverse conditions. Its not going to teach you the Ideal leadership of a big army NCO micro managing privates in 3rd ID garrison. Working with big army infantry NCOs its embarrassing how little they know and definitely should go to ranger school.
Why is your hat look like that
What about them females though? Infantry battalions and infantry battalions!
Had some of the biggest, most toxic assholes with tabs lol
It happens
Wait so what’s the 10%?…
damn kenan i didn't know you were a vet
Tell the Sapper School is the leadership school. Yes? No?
Its simple, men are stronger more explosive faster and more durable due to biology. If a man has some level of training (1 year of weightlifting and 1 year of whatever he needs to know about his position) he will significantly out perform a fenale who has decades of training. Unless a woman takes PEDs she cant fight with men. Only exception is in snipers
What happened to your hat?
You need to get a new hat
Are you a green beret or no?
Not a Green Bean.😂
Honestly, when I see a tabbed dude, it tells me they're ambitious and can deal with suck.
Doesn't imply they're a good leader, though.
You wanna be a good leader join the marine corps
It's small unit tactics, while it may be a feather in your hat, why waste time if you want SF? If I'm going to SFAS, why on earth do all the admin shit and do the two to three months of training? You could be passed selection and waiting on airborne or q course date.
Facts
My friend just graduated ranger school he said it was the most easiest thing he’s done , that’s cus he bench press what I dead lift 😂
You made that up.
That is a properly broken in hat my man
Great way to get lost in the woods. Go to ranger school if you want to get lost in a swamp at night
Respect the hat!
haha, thanks
Credits to the prestigious FNG Academy for schooling me on the hat and showing me a new channel to subscribe to. Thank you for your sacrifice.
@@trentonloftin9871 exactly where I came from 🤣
@@trentonloftin9871 Trenton, welcome to the channel. I hope you enjoy. let me know if I can help in anyway.
Need someone to lead you on how to fold a hat bill
Hat like that?
I disagree in part. Ranger School (72days) taught me allot about myself and who I really am under Duress. I did a thing or two I was not very Proud of and those 2 things are still Thorns in my side. It taught me about Other Leaders and just because they got Officer Rank hanging from their collars doesn’t mean Diddly! They Whine and cry and quit just like everybody else if not more. Ranger School was a check the Block for me because by the time I got there, I was already a BMF! ( BAD MOTHER F***ER)
😂 bruh drop me your address so I can get your a new hat.
Hahaha I’m good
