  • Before joining the 7th Ranger Regiment, soldiers must pass the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program, or RASP. The RASP is an 8-week training that creates special operations soldiers who specialize in strike force raids and intelligence gathering.
    In this video, some fellow Marines and I attempt the preliminary fitness test to get into the RASP.

    My son just classed up from pre rasp. He is now in the first phase of Rasp 1. No phone contact with him now for the first 4 weeks of RASP 1, however during pre rasp he was able to call us at will during down time. the horror stories he told of the physical fitness exercises blew my mind.

    Bro respect to you and your Marines, but there are nuances that they are strict AF on. The sit-ups, I love that the Corps makes you sit on their feet to accomplish them it makes the most sense. The Army never lets you, you will do roughly 10 less if the your partner is not as heavy as you.
    Marines tend to crush the pull-up portion which is 6 rep minimum. But anything less than 10 is NOT okay after RASP.
    Push-ups 56 is Army minimum but that will get you booted from anything related to the word Ranger. Most Marines also do push up where they tuck their elbows real tight and only move above their waist. Those don’t fly. Not even in airborne school. I seen a Marine Gunny do 46 pushups at airborne school and he was furious. Cool dude who aced everything else but when they altered his push-up form he lost double digit reps off his pushups.
    Sub-40 5-mile is pass/fail minimum.

    • @NickVarn
      @NickVarn  8 місяців тому +1

      In the Marine Corps our standard for pushups is full body straight and moving with each rep. Upper arms have to be parallel to the ground at the bottom and elbows locked out at the top.

      2:27 middle and right man not coming all the way up. 2:37 better angle on man on right failing to go down to parallel and not coming all the way up. 2:54 RASP instructors would not count yours at this point due to not fully extending. Good on resting in pushup position as RASP cadre are notorious for failing individuals for resting at times they don’t like. Don’t know why most who do these tests never bust out the standards for form on these tests. It’s just a google search away, or call any of the RASP recruiter numbers and I’m sure they’d find a way to proctor a test for your channel.

    Those are the minimums, however it’s all based off a point system

      @@NickVarnIt’s SOP. They make you tuck it away. The mentality is different, from their perspective they try to take away any advantage you have. Because they wana know when shit hits the fan that you know you don’t need that and if you do need that advantage in order for you to succeed than your not the guy. It’s a war like mentality. The mentality for most scenarios is how does this help you in war.
      They would say “your not gna have a strap if your buddies shot and your carrying him” therefore you don’t need it.

    I will disagree with one point. Always have the weights center of gravity nearest your core and waist. As you progress (at least as a Marine 03-) and go from the 35# to 120#+ you will develop greater balance and strength. Having the majority of the weight high makes you prone to falls during actual movements.
