- A lot of you are getting option 40 contracts. And a lot of you seem like you don't quite understand some of the fundamental differences between these two. I hope I may have cleared up any confusion you may have had about the two and which one is actually what you go to with an Option 40 contract.
If you want to send me anything I finally got a P.O. Box!

Rangers Lead The Way.
All the way.

@PQD US 247 lol. Green Berets have a different obj than Tans.
Hell yeah. You know I want to be a Ranger so I take that motto to heart. I’ve started rucking and running everyday. Just being part of something better is all it really means. It’s not about doing the sexy operator stuff, it’s about being a team player. Being able to work with your team makes you a better leader. Sadly, I have a long way to go before I can enlist but that only means more time to work for what I love. Wish me luck! Rangers Lead The Way!
I am but a child, but hey, it gives me a good reason to push and study in school more and get strong.
My son is tab and scroll 3rd battalion 75th Ranger. He's on his second deployed at the moment. The way it was for my son was just as he said. Basic, airborne, pre Rasp then Rasp. Then after his first deployment Ranger school. Ranger's do lead the way. They get little attention compared to Navy Seals but These young men are a elite force and train constant . They are some Bad Ass men!
Yesir. Thank you and your family for your sacrifice for this Country. That is some good home training to raise a young man that becomes a RANGER. God bless you and your family. RANGERS OWN THE NIGHT!
Thank you. I wish I could take all the credit lol. But it takes a very different young man these days to decide to go work his ass off to be something in the military that few ever become and to go defend this great country of ours. It's rare and I salute and respect all these young men doing it. You know the average age in his class was 21.
@@chadrichardson9875 yesir I agree 100% . Take the credit and please forward that I am great full
Chad Richardson thanks for your sons service and for you being a great father to support him. Godspeed to both of you
You just can’t compare Rangers to SEALS, different selection, different qualifications,.. different purpose in life.
Tab is just a school, the scroll is a way of life
Shinobi- 275 I follow you on ig
Gotta be two something to do something.
👌🏽
That is right never been the Rangers school but I have a stroll
d NiCE
My very best friend just went through RASP a few months back, passed it and said it was easier than he thought. He's now in the 75th, in the third battalion, just over 18. He's going to ranger school soon and I'm pretty sure he'll do it with few problems too. Definitely the most motivated guy I've ever known.. We sure miss hanging out though lol
Do you guys kiss

When I was in, after airborne school they asked if we wanted to be a Ranger. I was a 12B. I said yes and they ripped my brand new airborne cover off my head and stomped on it. I throw my bag on the back of a truck and they made us run behind the truck from airborne school to the Ranger school. Then 3 weeks of complete misery began. The only goal, dont quit. We were treated like crap the entire time, we got about 3 hours of sleep a night but at the end you got a scroll and a new black cover. They asked you which of the three places you wanted to go and then "needs of the regiment". You were given the choice to stay your current MOS if they had a slot and you werent infantry. If not you became infantry. RIP an RASP are not the same thing at all. RIP was simply a 3 week gut check, they want to see how much crap they can put you through till you quit, whole purpose is to make you quit. If you completed it, they would send to a bat. Once at Bat you will be trained to do everything daily that you would do in Ranger school. Once you get promotable status you are put on a list for Ranger school. All E-5 and above have to get the qualification tab. Now say you go to Ranger school from regular Army you can request to be assigned to Bat but you be treated very differently till you are worthy of being there. Now RASP, Ranger Reg decided that they wanted to be like Special Forces and have a selection process so they could observe candidates for Ranger Bat. They increased the time frame and created course over just a gut check. Bat life is completely different than any other place. It is more like Marine Recon. I have seen PFCs put in charge of 1LT who came in after they went to Ranger school during summer break at college. When they finally got commissioned and were sent to Bat sometimes they were trained to be Rangers by lower ranking soldiers until they were up to speed. All you do is realworld train and deploy.
Couldn't have said it better.
Absolutely agree!! Amen, brother! RIP is NOT RASP. I had: BT->11B AIT -> ABN school-> AA school (recruiter added due to time lag and schedule for available class start) -> RIP -> RGR school. Had lag time so did more college awaiting AD assignment, opportunity for MOS change due to 5th BN not funded, became 91B medic. Got immediate assignment of B Co 2/75th IN. Loved my 2 years there. RLTW!
Yes, i had to attend 91B AIT then went directly to 2nd BN.
HERE'S A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S SOUNDING OFF ABOUT!! Class 5 -93 here! RIP was nothing but weeding out the ones who lacked the tenacity to just keep moving forward. Don't ask me how I slipped through. I had MANY long arguments with myself about wtf I was doing there. My years in 3rd BN were the best, worst, and craziest of my life. Lots of good men, and brothers to the core.
@@11bravogunbunny8 you are correct I was in Alpha company i look back and say I can't believe I did that stuff.
I was USAF security forces. I had an instructor in tech school during our camp bullis phase of training and he was ranger qualified. He had completed ranger school along with airborne school and was a very inspirational individual. It was very cool to be able to see an Air Force guy in my career field go out and complete all this training.
I went to school with a guy that wanted to go 75th and he got a recruiter who didn’t have her facts straight and he had to repeatedly argue with her because her response always was “You need to be 21 to go to ranger school”
I did RIP back in 1981 and ended up assigned to A co 1st BN 75 th... My son is going option 40 in July. I can't wait to see how much has changed. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!
Did you see time on the Isle of Spice in '83? If so Where abouts?
Your son will fail. Fucking snow flake
It was still RIP when I was there in 2007/2008
I attended RIP in 1979 1st Bat.
my wife's name on account WTF
Clear, rapid-fire, concise explanations. I think you are helping a lot of young men understand more about a very big decision they are about to make. You would be a great teacher-keep up the good work.
My grandfather was a Ranger NCO and fought in Operation Husky. He was very proud of that, because Sicily is is homeland, where he was born, and he was proud to liberate it.
Great job distinguishing the two! I wish this video was out while I was on recruiting duty, it would have made it easier to explain to recruits. Thanks!
You're going to make it my brother in arms, Salute Sir.
Thanks for the video, I recently decided to try to become a ranger. After one semester of college I released it wasn’t for me. I was a cross country runner in college and ran up to 90 miles a week and could do an 8k in 25:25, giving me confidence in my endurance, however I’m trying to bulk up because I lack upper body endurance, wish me luck and thanks for the video!
Cant believe how much this page has grown been following since you were around 2k subs. Anyway I go to ranger school in april so I hope to see a video on it soon.
I know it's crazy! I did one on rasp recently but in the mean time Nick Bare has a good series on Ranger School!
How dit it go brother?
“Rameriz, explain the difference between RASP and Rangers!”
cali115 mw2 🤣🤣💀💀
That should be simple since Rameriz is a 75th ranger
"Ramirez, do everything, then do everything again!"
One more very big difference is SM immigration status. Immigrants can go in ranger school but we can’t be part of 75th.
biden said all billets for the 75th will be filled by DACA and illegal aliens first followed by non-whites if he is the commander and sellout. Clearances will also be waived for wet dreamers

To put it plainly. Ranger School is harder than RASP. You will find many more Soldiers that have passed RASP but failed Ranger School than the other way around. Both are a huge suckfest. However, in Ranger School, you go through sleep and food deprivation at a much higher level. Also, Ranger School is more knowledge and leadership based.
This is what Patrick Daniel Tillman did when he join because he wanted to get into the fight. respect.
Gave up everything to wear the Tan Beret , and kaepernick is upheld as some guy on Tilman's level. Only on bended knee , eyeing Tilman's junk , could kaepernick be on any level.
Hey, this was really great! Thank you and God bless!!!
Cant wait till you make that rasp prep video ive been watching your vids for a while, i leave in july with option 40 so i think ill be going to rasp in November or december time frame idk, all i know is that its gonna be freeezzzzinng!
Viktor Reznov I'm trying to get the same contract but a little sooner
Yepp you are going to freeze lol
But at least you get block leave
How tough was it for you to get an option 40 contract? I was planning on getting one the next fiscal year.
Same here, but a lot of people from Georgia told me the winters there are still hot as hell.
My father is USMA class of ‘66 when Ranger school was mandatory after graduation, not an option like it is now. If you didn’t pass the first time , you were finished. No second or third recycling throughout chances. Charlie Beckwith was the Camp Commander of the Ranger school back then. He trained the Cadre that put my father and his fellow classmates through the different phases of their training. When my father and his fellow classmates successfully completed the course, Beckwith personally pinned the Ranger tab on all of the men. After Ranger school he went to Fort Bragg Special Warfare School. After that he went to the Defense Language Institute at Fort Bliss and learned Vietnamese. After that he was sent to Vietnam in ‘68 as a young Infantry Captain. His generation are absolutely Rangers. It was a way of life for those men as well. The graduating class of ‘66 had the highest casualty rate out of West Point in Vietnam.
When I joined the army I had no idea what a Ranger was. If I went back in time and told myself you are going to be an Army Ranger I would of though I would be a park Ranger.
Lol same here. Didn’t know squat. Started as ARNG, found out I was a PT stud and totally motivated so when RIP recruiters came I tried to sign up. Was told no you belong to your state. Oh well, 14 years, and a couple combat tours later I ended up medically retired.
@@Coyote-wm5op I can relate to the story you just described. That being didn't know much about different options, so went with the ARNG while in ROTC because that was the first recruiter that I talked to. I don't regret my decision yet, but I now realize that I really want to be a ranger or GB someday. So I'm curious did you finish your contract in the National Guard, or where you able to go ranger before it was up?
Thank you for this video my son just went to the military 2 weeks ago for basic training and I was looking over his contract and I didn’t wondering what the heck is RASP. His overall goal is to become a ranger
80s & 90s Rip was hard core
Why’s it not anymore?
Vietnam Recondo was 3 weeks, with last being an actual combat mission mounted against the VC.
Well I plan on going to the regiment, so I hope it’s not as pussified as you guys are making me to believe.
De Bergerac good luck brother don’t get burnt out, don’t end up Company equipment and being an E-6 at 15 years , get your time in and make a run for ODA or it’s a swamp
Greg Randolph why’s it a swamp lol? And I’m already planning on trying for an ODA after a couple of years
I take exception with RASP and RIP being the same thing. As someone that RIP'd into the regiment in 1992, it was really just a 3-4 week smoking that weeded out people that didn't have enough heart. RASP actually assesses skill building ability and adaptability. We were also not firmly part of JSOC in those days.
To put it plainly. Ranger School is harder than RASP. You will find many more Soldiers that have passed RASP but failed Ranger School than the other way around. Both are a huge suckfest. However, in Ranger School, you go through sleep and food deprivation at a much higher level. Also, Ranger School is more knowledge and leadership based.
RASP was created to supplement the lack of training opportunities during GWOT. Basically, Ranger shows up with "some" skills. It was also required to get the new identifier. RIP on the other hand was designed to get rid of the WEAK men - period. There is clearly a difference in the type of men each program produced. I will tell you as a 90s Ranger myself and a RIP instructor 2001-2002, the 90s process was HARD and the men it produced was the hardest I have ever served with. That is not to say today's Rangers couldn't handle it, or the 90s Rangers couldn't handle RASP. Apples and Oranges. ***Even Ranger School today has changed, not ripping on women, but there is no way the amount of females that graduate today could stand a chance in the 90s Ranger School standards. Not even close... @@FreedomFighter2112
To put it BETTER than Plainly, Ranger School is a TEMPORARY suck fest. It is a school.
RASP is a SELECTION for a WAY OF LIFE, that is WAY harder and Longer than Ranger School. You see a Ranger Scroll show respect they are some of the hardest that walk the planet, you see a Ranger Tab say congrats, you were hard for 2-3 months. @@FreedomFighter2112
I did RIP & went straight through Ranger School……. I had a year and a half in 2nd Batt. between RIP & Ranger School. RIP was HARD because it was the Hardest thing you have ever done at that time of your career. Being in an actual RANGER BATTALION I didn’t think Ranger School was exceptionally hard. In Ranger Batt. we did Ranger stuff EVERYDAY………..
This applies to an Option 4 contract (Jump School) as well.
This contract just guarantees you will go to Jump School but DOES NOT mean you are going to any ABN Unit unless you have it in your contract as well.
Meaning, you go through Jump School and get ABN Qualified then you can still end up in a leg unit that is not on Jump Status.
Going to Ranger School was one of the things I wish I would have done during my 11 yrs in the army (2000-2011). I had several buddies that went. It is a leadership course but you need to be in TOP physcial shape if you want to finish!
Thank you for this video I want to show this video to my parents do they know the difference. I can't wait for the RASP video.
Great video, thanks for posting it! Sincerely, CJ fmr, Sgt. 2/504 PIR 82nd Abn. Vet OEF II.
I was with the 1/75th, Ranger School is much harder than RIP or RASP. I was a RIP instructor my last 6 months with the BN. An amazing experience for sure. RLTW
Dude its different. Physically rasp is harder than rsnger school just sucked more. Thst fact that you don't know this tells me you're not a ranger lmao. Fake ass poser
I went through in the 80s and it was 58 days of suck! But worth it!
Class 14-82 here
I foresee you becoming a great officer and leader. Your teaching skills have improved so much. You may be missed as a Sgt. Major.
I heard some where long ago that officers get credit for success' and sgt. majors get the blame for failures? Is that true?
Thank you I didn't even know what RASP was before this video
Glad you gave this tutorial. I have been trying to explain this for years and years. Ranger school is a leadership course which makes you Ranger "Qualified". That is all. Being a member of the 75th Regiment makes you an actual U.S. Army Ranger.
Thank's for the 2018 update. To avoid the draft back in 1970 enlisted for the 82nd. In order to be guaranteed that unit, there was a designed Airborne Basic Training Evaluation at Ft. Ord California, that had to be achieved before they were gonna waste Jump Training efforts on you. From graduation there i was given a 15 day delay in route to Benning. Plenty of time to get drunk & a little less in shape for it. From Jump School Graduation, their was no A.I.T.. Hell, an AIrborne Infantry Unit was A.I.T. every damn day... with all the advanced bells & whistles attached, year after enlisted year. Rank came quick if your desired efforts were applied. Went from Pfc. straight to ''Acting Jack'' i.e. wearing the buck sergeant stripes with only the Spec. 4 pay, within a year & a half. To hold onto those stripes, often came at the cost of volunteering to, or being volunteered to Recondo, or Ranger School. Anyway that's the way things rolled in my day! -former recondo sgt.

When i get home from school im gunna watch this!
Prior to my fathers second tour he was in the very first RIP with Airborne training during Vietnam.
Prior to his passing a few years back he used to play call of duty. His name on it was RIPsavage. Now i know why his name was RIPsavage as he is Native American. Thanks for sharing
what is RASP, until he said RIP God I'm old

RASP - RANGERS ASSESMENT PROGRAM, RIP - RANGERS INDOCTERNATION PROGRAM.

Used to be rip. Lots of us old guys did rip. Rip sounded to much like hazing. So make it sound nice
Old is when you enlisted for Infantry, Airborne, & Ranger Schools. Pre-Rip, Pre-RASP, Pre-Battalions. Class 5-73. Frostbite 5; Coldest Alive.
And you will CONSTANTLY hear that "The real training begins now"
Awesome Matt Ward《☆》Good luck with Your career. I had a buddy who was active duty U.S. Army helo crewchief Sp4 in my unit at Ft Benning Lawson Army airfield. He was probably the best fit guy in our unit. He managed to get a slot in Ranger school with recommendations from our chief pilot who is a tabbed Ranger Captain who went aviation after his Ranger tour with combat experience. My buddy started his Ranger school at Dahlonega Ga. Mountain Ranger camp. He was there about 3 weeks before he was released on a medical for trenchfoot. He came right back to normal duty in our unit with a P.T. profile until his feet could heal properly. The door was left open for him to go back to Ranger school but I ETSed out before it ever happened. I remember him telling about trying to put money in a tree thinking it was a vending machine LOL. His only mistake that I could see was being dependent on dip like Scoal & Copenhagen. I believe dip was one of the few amenities that were allowed in Ranger school but You're probably better off without it ☻
Good breakdown. Stay safe and have a good ‘un!
4:30 yeup the ideal and best is to have both
6:00 def wish i knew about that years ago having only 4 month deployments unlike regular infantry. I wanted to go rangers myself but i was too old so they sent me to SF. I just wanted the quick high speed training of rangers than reg 11B instead if the 2+yrs training of the Q course.. better lookout for that Ranger school 'major minuses' and 'minor pluses' .
People need to also know about Rep63 for National Guard Special Forces too
R.I.P was a 4 smoke fest and then get more training when they get to Bat. R.A.S.P is 8 weeks and more to get hands on training with tools and techniques that AIT only briefly touches on. The idea is for them to be ready to deploy as soon as they get to Bat
The infantry school in Ft Benning GA was the umbrella of OCS, Ranger, Airborne when I was in the army during Vietnam. Some really great instructors at that time.
Great video just got an option 40 contract and this cleared things up
When do you leave? I leave July 8th. 11x Op40.
Great video! I would like your thoughts on something. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards (D) served 8 years in the United States Army, during his campaign with tv commercials, interviews, and speeches, he always said "I served as an Airborne Ranger in the United States Army". But, John Bel Edwards in my opinion did not "serve" as an Airborne Ranger because he only went to Ranger School and never RASP (75th Ranger Regt.). He did however "serve" as a commander of a rifle company in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. To this day his official Bio on the Louisiana Governors web page states "Governor Edwards graduated in 1988 from the United States Military Academy at West Point. The governor served eight years as an "Airborne Ranger on active duty with the United States Army" and commanded a rifle company in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Now why would he say this? I believe it was a campaign strategy for votes! The campaign was in 2015 and unless you just woke up from a 40 year coma, Joe Blow civilian voter, from just watching Hollywood movies, views Rangers, Special Forces, Navy SEALS, Green Berets, and DELTA Force, as bad ass American Heroes killing bad guys! What say you? P.S. Thank you for your service!

edwards is such a disappointment.
I agree... saying that he served as a ranger was misleading. Besides, how someone go to west point and come out a democrat is beyond me.
Gov Edward’s should have known better. He is not and never has been a ranger. Now earning the tab and becoming Ranger qualified is a hell of an achievement but he’s not an actual Ranger. He served in the 82nd Airborne. He was a paratrooper and that’s awesome too. He should have been proud of being a paratrooper and left it at that. Gov Edward’s absolutely deserves to be dragged for claiming to be a Ranger
@@allpraisetothemosthigh7770 I assume he is a communist that went to West Point and served in the military because his parents were most likely communists. Oh sorry, if you are not aware, the people with a D after their names are now referred to as communists.
@@thomast8539 I’m class of 95.. we were hard-core constitutionalists.. American freedom, etc. I’m just a nobody though.. he’s a somebody so went off track somewhere.
For anyone worried about not being able to get an option 40 before they ship, I completely understand I was in the same boat! I couldn’t get one and was super anxious to ship so I ended up enlisting as regular 11x hoping to pick it up in OSUT just know that it is very possible but I worked my ass off for years to prepare for RASP and when I shipped I could already score a 300+ I was gonna make sure I was gonna get RASP, so come week 9 the Ranger recruiter came (at this point I already had airborne in my contract which in my experience is harder to get than RASP they had fewer slots at the time but some companies hand them out like candy so experiences may vary) and I was able to secure my Option 40 just make sure you meet and exceed the standards before coming in the Army 300+ pt score gt score of 110+ and you should be set up to get an option 40 especially since Regiment is hurting for dudes especially low density MOS’s in the least get airborne and you can pick it up in Airborne school the Ranger recruiter came in person the 1st week of airborne to recruit guys there just some advice for yall
Airborne in itself is elite. Anybody who is in good shape and makes it through that route is in with a shout.
I would say Option 40 gives not greater opportunity as they still have to pass.
Way to go Brother. You are exactly on point. When I was in it was RIP. The Scroll is the only way to go. Yes I was always referring to RIP. Called me out on that one. Going to Ranger School and not getting the scroll is only going to a hardcore leadership school.
What kind of person would dislike this kind of video? It boggles the mind.
I went to RIP in 1987 and it was actually less difficult than airborne school for me. But I was 18 and indestuctable in those days.
Thanks, that cleared up a lot of confusion!
It’s crazy your in Charlotte NC. That’s where I’m from, I commissioned 2017, currently stationed in Italy.
When I was in it blew my mind how many people didn't know the difference, even people who had been in for awhile.
Hey man I'm considering SF and I was curious if you know anything about the 18x enlistment? If so maybe you can do a video about it.
There have been some changes since this video... If you are going in on an opt. 40 contract you will go to RASP directly after AIT... After you have completed or dropped RASP you will got to Airborne School. The Army has made this change because too many guys were failing RASP and going back to Airborne so our Airborne Regiments were over strength.
Went thru RIP back in '92. Good times!
Thanks for clarifying this for me Matt.
Well, I graduated from Ranger school in 1982 as a Marine. We didn’t quite get the zeal that many Army students had for “ the Tab “ a frequent question asked: why are you going through this course, if you can’t wear the Ranger Tab? The Army, in my opinion, invests too much stock in Tabs, scrolls, patches, insignias, badges and the various Berets. From my understanding, Ranger school was developed to continue the legacy of the WWII Rangers by training leaders in small unit tactics and “ Ranging “ I mean the school predated the 75th Reg by what, 24 years. Graduates were known as Ranger qualified. The Army itself is the source of the confusion between “ real “ Rangers and Ranger school graduates. Just to keep it real,.. being a NCO or above without that Tab, while serving in the 75th, I’ve been told, is frowned on. An easy fix and is to get rid of the Ranger Tab and rename the School,.. if it’s just a leadership course.
Agreed. I went to the Nasty Guard after my four years in the Marines and the army sucks the dick of those with that tab. I was deployed to Iraq twice and saw actual combat as a Marine but it didn't mean anything compared to that guy who passed that leadership school even if he hadn't deployed. It boggled my mind. However, I've met some real Rangers with the scroll patch and they despise those who have tabs! hahaha
Ranger units pre-dated Ranger School by about 175 years seeing how the first ones were established during the American Revolution. The Regiment is deemed "modern day" Rangers, but don't let that fool you in regards to how long Ranger units have been in existence.
Thank god finally for a video where the dude actually knows what he's talking about.
Thank you for your service.
It has changed some since my time (1986), but It was called R.I.P. (Ranger Indoctrination Program) the premise was the same. It got the volunteering soldier ready for the life of Ranger Regiment. As a special note not all Regimental Rangers have earned the Tab, they still have to earn the right to go to the Ranger School as there are only so many slot available in a given class. I myself earned the Ranger Scroll (3rd Batt) but didn't earn the Ranger Tab in1990 while in the 82D Airborne.
Looking forward to learning about rasp from you. How does one go about getting into the ranger qualifying school? And does that help or have any part in getting you into rasp if you don’t sign on with a w40?
Jordan Oliver you will get sent to Ranger School by whatever unit you’re assigned to if you meet the requirements to go. If you do not sign on with option 40 you can contact a 75th recruiter after you have completed initial training and you can receive orders to attend selection
My recruiters try to confuse me by saying ranger school when I’m talking about rasp. Keep your ears open for that. I’ll say I wanna talk about the 75th and how to get there and they will say “ranger school is not a problem, we can get you ranger school” lol..
Craig Moore I'm in that boat littlerly right now
Craig Moore Ranger school really isnt up to your recruiter. Ranger school is actually up to the head guy at MEPS when you sign your contract you might get lucky and get option 40 but the chances of that happening are like slim to none when i went through MEPS i had 40 guys with me and about 25 were infantry but out of those 25 only like 4 ended up with option 40 on there contracts.
Shaun Newton option 40 is for RASP not ranger school.
Could be just me...sounds like he was saying Ranger school I can help with, 75th is outta my control. You're talking to a recruiter i.e. someone who deals with potential recruits about a ranger unit. He has no say so about you ever making it to the 75th.
Craig Moore tricky bastards lol
Thank you so much this helped me out a lot!
My dad an Airborne Ranger. He served from 1997 to 1990. He retired as an E6 Staff Sargent.
Dude I literally just reserved my job 92Y unit supply specialist and it has option 40 for airborne school thanks for this info!
IceCold Matty I have the same MOS brother! Are you going to Ft Jackson for basic?
Dirt 117 Actually option 40 gives you airborne and RASP
Dirt 117 I and tens of my friends got airborne in my first enlistment contract so try again
Dirt 117 what duty station u at?
Ryan George Yep ship out next month if all goes well at MEPS on Tuesday!
It is similar to the All Arms Commando course in the UK. You qualify for the green beret but you are not a Royal Marine.
The AACC is far more difficult.
I learned that the 75th takes 13Fs - that's my plan when I re-enlist. 13F w/ option 40 (been working out for a long time - will keep it up).
R.I.P. and Ranger school were the same program. I graduated from class 4-87 and was tabbed. After my first deployment I was scrolled. It all depends on your contract. If you were doing Ranger school you would be returned to your unit (i.e. 82d or 25th or 101st) but if you were R.I.P. you would get assigned to the 75th. But it was basically the same 62 day course.
Yeah buddy, I went through RIP in 1994 :)
Did RIP in Nov 1998 and had to wait two weeks before the class started. 150 attempted RIP and 80% graduated right before the Christmas break. RLTW
80%? Soft Class. lol
Man, times have changed!
I was with 2/75 in late 1970s (Ranger class 11/77), and in 1979 we started R.I.P. and I had the honor of being one of original instructors.

James Stoney I have some questions about the US Army Rangers RIP/RASP... What helps to get through RASP mental wise. How many people get weeded out and what type of people don’t get weeded out of selection? What are ways to get points and be seen by Ranger instructors as a leader?
@@hiclink6318
I don't know how it is today, I was in mid 1970s, so it has changed a lot!
Our Ranger class started with approximately 135 candidates and we finished with about 90.
When I was a Pre-Ranger school instructor, we developed the program to mimic Ranger School, but it was predominantly a training environment, patrolling writing orders, land navigation, etc. so we did not include "hell week".
James Stoney That’s awesome! What helps to get you through the moments that are really tough? Do you think of family or do you just remember that a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory?
@@hiclink6318
Clink, I was in the 2/75 Rangers from 1975-1980, today this is 2019, so that was a long time ago!
I was airborne and air assault, 4th brigade,25th infantry Regiment. Stationed at Fort Richardson, AK. I was too old for Ranger school, just barely young enough for airborne school.
I went thru RIP n 84. I have my Scroll and Tab as well. Would not trade my experiences for anything. Made me who I am today. Sua Sponte...Rangers Lead The Way..
I got RASP'ed at U.S.A.R.B. , Camp Funston, Ft. Riley, KZ 1982 Served DCS for 45B, attached 1/75th HAAF,GA 82-83 RLTW, Hoah!
It wasn’t “RASP” in 1982. Shenanigans
@@Reaghansdad1 Didn't say it was, I said the "selection" was done there, sonny.
Charley Twodogs it was RIP back then...still calling bullshit
@@Reaghansdad1 Yes, I sure a punk like you would, sonny.
Charley Twodogs I’m actually on active duty now...have been since 95. But I fully understand the reason to lie on your tube...your secret is safe with me....my point is, you claimed to have attended RASP in 82....it was called RIP back then...your story doesn’t hold water...but calling me a punk makes it all better
Quality content. Excellent summary and he’s right you know.
RLTW!
Ranger school, if not full Ranger experirnce, may be handy for assignments in other units. Especiall for specialized officers or high rank enlisted. May have occasional associated assignments working with rangers or special forces. Happens at Bragg frequently.
Jesus is lord
No he’s not
@@Mr_Originality yes he is and always will be regardless of your irrelevant opinion
@@tacotruck7934 ok
An update for people watching in 2019. Airborne is now AFTER Pre-RASP and RASP for an Option 40 Contract. Too many people would drop their contract right after they graduate Airborne so that they could just get their wings then leave.
About time, glad the army has wised up.
In the late 70 and early 80 they would beg you go to jump school
Finally something that makes sense, there is a lot of "badge shoppers" that fly under the radar to get something doing the least to get it, YOU HAVE TO EMBRACE THE SUCK !
Why don't those guys just go Option 4? Or is that not around anymore? It's been a long time since I was in so I don't know.
Yep had a lot of rasp guys in my class. A lot of tan berets after graduation.
In the 80s, we referred to it as tab rangers and scroll rangers. RIP was for pre-entry to go to Ranger school.
Same thing with special forces when you enlist it's intent for special forces. thanks for sharing what recruiters didn't say.
11x Option 40 contract, shipping in January
So how'd it go?
ranger school kept the ranger concept going since ww2.
don't forget recondo school in Vietnam.
Ranger school was established during the Vietnam Conflict to train officers in the way of Rangers. After WWII the Ranger Bn’s were disbanded and weren’t reactivated until the 70’s when the 1st r Ranger Bn was formed in Ft Benning then moved to Ft Stewart then on to Hunter Army Air Field.
Joseph McGraw
they airborne ranger companies during the Korean war
Ranger's were reactivated 2-1-1969 when all LRRP's became 75th Rangers
Joseph McGraw Ranger School was established in the 50's. Viet Nam saw the establishment of Ranger Companies
Leave on Monday for OSUT, opt 40. Can’t wait
Sua Sponte served at and assigned to 2/75 Ranger Battalion Ft Lewis Washington late 70’s thru 80’s.
I've got a tab
Okay 1 yes you dont have to be infantry to be in the regiment but anything other then and your dirt on the bottom of there shoes go ahead and see how an 88m option 40 gets you...and also yes with the scroll your a badass to all the simple folk and its something to be proud of BUT again your dirt on the bottom of all the badasses shoes until you get your tab
When i was in training it was rip then ranger school then i went on to q school but glad to know what its being called now days
It sounds very much like we have here in 🇬🇧...in any branch of the British military you can do P company (paratrooper) earn the maroon beret and the all arms commando course (Royal Marines) and earn the green beret however unless you enlist in the Royal Marines or British Army paratrooper you’re not really them...
But walk around the ranger regiment without a Ranger tab, you salute everyone that has one no matter your rank. At least that how it was in the 90's.
Hooah!!
I’ve been wanting to join the 75 ranger regiment, I got to get my 5 mile run down a few minutes but I got a couple years to do that before I join army.
CORNDOG AKA JDOG hey best of luck to you !
CORNDOG AKA JDOG You can't plan to join delta,delta picks a handful of people and is only a 5% graduate rate, just stay in your top shape and make good decisions, focus on Ranger right now, and see if you enjoy it, HOOAH!
Keep in mind that 5 mile run at Ranger School is tougher than individual run. It will likely be over uneven terrain along with smooth pavement. It will also be when you are not fresh due to prolonged food and sleep deprivation.
I don't think talking delta on the internet is the exact way to go
Europa H2O Alien I'm planning to go to delta headquarters and renouncing myself as Commander and then I'm going to fight the intergalactic space demons then join their dimension and have the power of God to exterminate all life forms on other planets and wipe out all intelligent alien life forms until humans are the only intelligent humanoid lifeforms, I can currently run the entire tour de France 10 times, and then after that warmup I swim across the Atlantic ocean at mach 500 speed and can jump to the ozone layer. Any workout tips to get better would be appreciated!
I enlisted for 75th Ranger Bn, it was in my contract. I had to pass 11b/ abn school/ ranger school/ then RIP, then I got assigned to Rangr Bn 1/75, HAAF, Ft Stewart GA that's how it was done in 1978
Marine Corps has a RIP as well Recon Insertion Platoon. It’s good gut check for 10 plus weeks waiting for the school. Don’t lose your rope if you go
It's nowhere prestigious as Ranger school.
Let me help some of my fellow online learners here. Fast forward to 3:52. This young man may be a great soldier, but he needs to get to the point quicker. You will thank me for it. God bless our military!! God bless our Rangers!!
Being in 75th you can always get kicked off the island. Having the tab is for life.
If you were on the 75th then you have deployed which means you keep the scroll for your career on the right shoulder. I've never meant a Ranger that hasn't deployed. However, I have known a bunch of tabs who pretend they are actual rangers. They are not. All that means is that they completed a leadership course essentially. Only scrolls know what it's like to be a ranger.
@Fair Minded I don't deny that it's an accomplishment. I'm only pointing out why career soldiers want it over the scroll in some instances.
Fair Minded it’s a rite of passage for senior officers from what I’ve heard
Can I have a two year contract in the military?
@@4agony777 , depends on how long your training is(BCT/OSUT/AIT/Selection. Your contract starts after you graduate all of your qualification trainings. Short answer, the military wants their time back
Awesome I always wondered about that... I was a marine then when army...
Couldn’t get an opinion 40 back in late 2001 because I had bad credit. They wouldn’t give me the security clearance. So I signed an airborne contract and went to Division!!! I freakin loved Division. Deployed to Afghanistan in 2003 and Iraq i 2004
