Don’t let me make you think it didn’t hurt lol

It’s a tough standard man. I really think they’ll have to go a little easier with this test.

Yeah it’s not an easy test at all

And your point ?

But the right people will pass 😊

lotta people should fail it. that's the point

​@scotth3354 it's literally just the first 30 minutes of ranger school dude, this is way out of proportion

Agreed!

I wouldn’t be surprised with 30mins, that sounds more doable. Shits hard man, for real. I’m curious if you’ve done any training lately since that test to see if you can decrease your time?

@GrittySoldier Absolutely. The thing that smoked me the most was that skedco so I've been running drills with that and the kettle bells. Haven't had the opportunity to take it again but just might test myself to see where I'm at! Makes a great workout.

​@gk7754 normally it is whatever technique you chose, I didn't see a specific requirement for the sked on the RPA 2.0

@gk7754 Hardboiled is right. They let us choose whichever, I opted for the loop over body and walked normally worked the best for me.

Seems a lot like a “Murph”. Just one long suck fest.

I think it's just a different type of test. Running in pt gear and runnings shoes with no weight isn't practical in a combat unit.

For training, I recommending implementing the following events into your workouts: - 3-5 second rush for intervals (3-5 rounds worth for 50 meters) - Burpee EMOM (10 burpees every minute on the minute for 10 minutes) - Farmers Carry @ more than 45LBs are at slow walking pace (this will develop your overall strength & make the RPA 2.0 carry less demanding) - Pre-fatigue run (conduct a leg circuit that will smoke your legs, THEN go run 2 miles. Start by running them at goal pace.)

Awesome! Let us know how you do!

you should see what it takes to be an actual ranger lol

I’m doing 5:30 minute miles consistently straight out of bed. And I’m not completely gassed afterward either, nor do I run as often as I should or consistently and can still get those times, even if I don’t run for a month, if I push it hard and really get goin I can I shave a minute or a little over off. If I wanna puke I can get it down to 4:30ish sometimes a little less but I’m doing 1 mile and done also. And that’s also not in boots or uniform either and I smoke regularly lol, in high school I was close to breaking 4 minutes. Can’t join the military anyway as I have a DUI on my record. I’d love to have became a ranger.

​@@Cody2ndYou can get a waiver

​@Cody2nd talk to a recruiter, you possibly could get a waiver

@@Cody2nd waiverable, there's fucks in the military that get DUIs and still get to stay in

Gassed is progress! 💪 I like to find my “struggle-zone” it lets me know the “real” me lol

Still got a 5 mile as of 2023 it's not been implemented as a test of record yet we will see if it does the same thing when the acft kicked off to replace the apft I expect a 3.0 to follow up the 2.0

Give it a shot and see how fast you can do it! 💪

🤘

You definetly can I took the course at fort Moore you can drag it whichever way benefits you the most

⚔️

The Army did this by making Regiment have a selection, SOCOM budgeting, JSOC elements, and CQB training on par with the boys over the fence. The Army knows we’re different. There’s no issue about it. It’s the dorks getting an inflated ego over a tab earned because we had to be hungry and not take a nap for 62 days.

@@skipbayless5316that’s the best description of Ranger school I’ve ever heard lol, There’s still tons of people on the army that actually don’t know the difference and think the overweight 2ID guy that went to Ranger school in 1999 is a “Ranger.” My point remains but still.

@@skipbayless5316 So getting a ranger tab doesn't make you a ranger? What is the incentive to go? And why do units send their people to complete the course? I had always assumed the course was like selection for a SOF unit but i guess not

@@jimmy12347654buckle up because this is gonna get confusing. No going to Ranger school doesn’t make you a Ranger and has zero connection with the three Ranger batallions that make up the 75th Ranger regiment, which is a special operations unit. Ranger school is just an advanced small unit tactics and leadership course that all military branches can attend but primarily the army. Unfortunately some people that pass Ranger school get a tab that says “Ranger” and call the themselevs rangers when in reality they aren’t, they serve ina. Conventional unit but just went to Ranger school to get a tab. The incentive is it’s a very prestigious school and still very difficult to complete. To be an actual Army Ranger, that is special operations, you have to go through RASP (Ranger assessment and selection program) if you psd that you’ll be assigned to the 75th Ranger regiment and you’ll be an actual US Army Airborne Ranger, (think the guys that saved Marcus lutrell, extortion 17, black hawk down, etc….) to make things even more confusing EVERYONE in the Ranger regiment has to go to Ranger school to get the tab and you have to do that within a year of being in the Ranger regiment or they kick you out. Ranger regiment is a special operations unit that gets assigned to JSOC on deployments with CAG/DEVGRU, etc…. High speed shit Ranger school is just an army leadership course, it’s difficult and sucks, but it’s not the same thing and doesn’t make you a ranger. There a lot of guys on KZfaq that put “Ranger” in the title of everything because they went to Ranger school, the actual special operations unit that makes you a real army Ranger is actually a pretty small place, there’s roughly 3500 active Army rangers at any given time, sometimes slightly more, sometimes less

😂 that’s a good point!

She was keeping a keen eye on me. Making sure I wasn’t slacking or cheating. 😂

I was a Ranger instructor and there are instructors that let people get away with less than perfect push-ups. And then there are instructors who hold students to a standard, and those are supposedly the "a$$hole" instructors.

😊

Man that’s going to take forever

Wow 32? Damn that’s a big difference from 27mins

I’m not convinced it’s coming any time soon….

Might want to try it when it’s cooler, this test is no joke.

Lol Roger that 🫡

Do you actually know many Grunts that run it that slow or that get a second class pft? If so, were they placed in exercise hell? Just asking, because it has been 37 plus years and it was almost unheard of to see a single Marine not get a first class pft. Matter of fact, most guys enjoyed PFT day because it made for a light day with 20 pull-ups, 80 sit-ups and a short 3 mile run.

I passed the RPFT the previous day but got a 29:37 on the RPA 2.0, I had never trained for it before I took it. Id say its like the sprint drag carry but for half an hour. the worst part is rolling up the Skedcos at the end

Barely lol

Not until they decide when the RPA 2.0 will be implemented, if ever.

I know you’re in shape, out of my curiosity I wanted to just see how well you’d do!

Most army guys aren’t a big fan at swimming or like swimming

@@apacheblack138295% of the dudes in my unit are swimmers lol

@@apacheblack1382I’m in the army btw! But I get what you mean

The time limit means you got have a sub 7 mile time just to make the BARE MINIMUM. Very few people are running that in boots with a low HR. i get your idea though

Bro I’m tellin ya. 😮‍💨
