    RIP = Ranger indoctrination program
    It's the program you go to, to become an Army Ranger, meaning you are transferred to the 75th Ranger Regiment upon graduation. It is the Army Ranger selection process. It didn't really teach much about how to be a Ranger, and soldiers had to learn on the job once they get in.
    In 2009, it was replaced by RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program), with RASP I for E4 and below, and RASP II for E5+, O1+, WO1+. It provided more informative training. Upon joining the Rangers, you earn the Ranger scroll (which is a unit insignia), and the tan beret.
    As for Ranger School, which is open to the entire military (all branches), it earns you the gold and black Ranger tab, and makes you "Ranger Qualified", but doesn't actually make you a Ranger, and does not transfer you to the regiment, and does not yield the tan beret.
    Rangers are expected to at some point attend and graduate Ranger School. Ranger School teaches you a lot about leadership and small unit tactics.
    Rangers lead the way! All the way!

Which sucked and went on I feel like all night. We did eat and drank water though. His friend began to throw up on the road march, which was fast af. The medics took him right then, they called the ambulance for him. One of the RIP medics told us they had renal failure but would recover. Never saw them again. The liver failure guy went down right at the end doing cardiac hill repeats, he went from looking normal to being yellow as the sun. He started throwing up. I thought he was dead. Ambulance came and swiped him up. I saw him on post a few months later after he recovered some and he had a genetic liver disease. Got out the Army.

    In 1973 when I went through the Benning School for Boys there was no RIP or RASP. You had to have completed Infantry basic at Fort Polk, then passed Infantry AIT and preferably earned an EIB at Benning, then completed Basic Airborne training before being allowed to attend Ranger school. I passed and was assigned as a 2LT to 1st Bn 75th Infantry RANGER (A) at Hunter Airfield, Fort Stewart GA where I got my Black Beret.

In starch and spits from graduation. Right face run we did the downing mile then back to the camp up the cargo nets down then up the other side back down up the ropes and then to the bleachers. The instructor invited people to quit. About 20% did. They all went to Italy 🤨😢 as punishment for failing RIP. The rest of us were allowed to sign in for the class to start the next day. 😂

Personally I wasn't there and I see the merit in making soldiers who don't quit but I think they over did the running. I would also assume that's why today they look like.... the special forces soldiers you'd expect. Big, strong, lean, et cetra and I know for a fact they don't run quite like they used to. Still beat the hell out of them but in a different way.

    Won't get to many men like him anymore...just certain generations are legends like the men of WW1 and 2 . I have no doubt they might be mythical to ppl 100s or even thousands of years from now.

      Not really. They didn't lose a single guy for 18 months. They just had to leave eventually.
