I have been in 2nd Ranger Battalion for almost six years. If any of you have questions about service in the 75th, RASP or Ranger School feel free to ask.

Love your video. Same track my boy (now a man) is taking. 11 xRay option 40 Airborne Ranger 75th RR. Love all my Military peeps who sacrifice so much for our freedoms. God Bless America!!!!

Guy I was in 11B my unit was 101st 1/506 you don't have to be a pt beast. When I went to ranger school I wasn't a pt beast but I had more heart then a lot of the guys in ranger school. I saw a lot of these pt beast guys fall out and fail. I wouldn't accept failing. Any one of you guys that want ranger go for it don't worry about being the most physically fit guy or how hard it is it's all in your mind. You can make it hard or easy in your mind. Don't accept failure.

Usually if you can score an Airborn contract and lock that in you'll at least have the chance to raise your hand and volunteer for the third time for RASP at the end of airborne school, RASP cadre come to pick up all the options 40 cats and also ask for more volunteers. They can steal you from your unit if you complete the selection process. They have priority over every other unit and have the power to rewrite your contract if they select you to the pros. So if you can't get an option 40 ask for an airborne contract and at least have that, because it will open more doors for you like RASP. Be careful what you ask for you just might get it. Keep in mind, it is much easier to get into the 75th Ranger Regiment then it is to stay there. Getting your tan beret is not even the beggining, The beginning starts when you meet your squad leader and team leaders in your squad, then after they finish with you they turn you over to the tab spec 4's. These men become your brothers for life, and I'm not just talking the ones in your squad, I'm talking all Rangers past and present. RLTW!

Probably the most helpful video out thank you.

It goes RASP then Airbrne now, too many people going to the 82nd after failing rasp

I just swore in last Wednesday as a 13F Option 40. I went to MEPs fucking five times before finally enlisting. I had to switch recruiters and was DQ'd medically at one point, but still got an Option 40. Here is my best advice for MEPs. - Don't go to MEPs without an Option 40 Going to MEPs without an Option 40 will be a headache for you and your recruiter. Chances are you wont be able to get an Option 40 contract down at MEPs. 11x Option 40s are so damn popular. Wait until you can reserve an Option 40 before you go to MEPs. It may take a couple months. Be patient. If you go to MEPs without an Option 40 (like I did), your recruiter will try and force you to sign an 11B or 11x contract with no Option 40 and tell you that you can request for RASP when you are already in. Don't settle. I refused to sign anything than an Option 40 at MEPs and pissed off my recruiters, but eventually got my way. Your allowed to walk away without signing. You'll recruiter will fucking hate you, but don't settle. I became a QNE (Qualified Not Enlisted) two times. I refused to sign twice because I didnt get an Option 40 in my contract down at MEPs. -Do not get a medical waiver You cannot get an Option 40 (Ranger) Option 4 (Airborne) or 18x (Special Forces) with a medical waiver. A medical waiver denies you from testing for an Airborne Physical. The only way you can get an Option 40 with a medical waiver is if you passed the Airborne Physical before you got the medical waiver or disqualified. That was me. I passed the Airborne Physical and all medical tests my first time at MEPs, but I was DQ'd during my 2nd time at MEPs during my inspect for a tiny rash. The doctor thought I had eczema. I went to two dermatologist and got two doctors notes to send with a medical waiver. Luckily, it was approved and I had already passed the Airborne physical prior to my DQ. I recommend asking for the Airborne Physical soon as possible once you get to the Medical testing at MEPs, that way if anything does come up you'll already be Airborne Physically qualified. I went to MEPs five friggin times, so if you guys have any questions, just ask.

Good video. He's right about the process of becoming a ranger. But with a 35 min 5 mile, not every ranger would shit on him...

Well explained Bro!! my younger Brother over here in the states with me he going in too.. my dad sent em my dad been in over 20 years

I subbed. Love your videos man!

The first time I took my son into the recruiter 2 months ago, we were told Option 40 was very hard to get, and almost impossible to get as an infantry MOS. We had resigned to taking an 11X spot if it opened up. Right after taking his ASVAB, they called him and told him that several 11X option 40's had opened up. We jumped on it! This was just last week. He leaves on Sep 5. RLTW!

I locked in and enlisted for 11X OP40 on July 4th and ship out Sept. 5th. Cannot wait. I am so happy I autoqualified. I got a 91 on the ASVAB. This info helps a lot man, thank you for your time and service

Nice video, keep up the good work!

I have option 40 on my contract. My job is 92r which is parachute rigger. I start with Basic Training. Then I go to airborne school, third is RASP, and last is parachute rigger school. That is the order written on my contract.

Thanks, brother Soldier.

I'm a 15W with option 40. Went to BCT at Fort Jackson and been in AIT for the last few weeks. I'm honestly terrified for RASP 😅 but this made me a little less terrified. Thanks man

It's funny to me how many people ask questions that they could literally google in 10 seconds. LOL... Thanks for the videos! I'm about to graduate OCS and head to IBOLC in OCT. Not sure if I'll get the chance to go to Ranger School but the info is helpful.

Thank you for your service. God bless

22week OSUT, pre RASP, RASP, Airborne, Beret. It’s a new army. Have to go to school ASAP.

Pretty much how it goes.

One thing that I noticed that wasn’t mentioned was if you keep your 75th Ranger scroll after you get out or not. I did find out that you do turn it in when you leave the battalion unless you were In combat with them. The you keep it as a combat patch. I was curious about this bec I didn’t see anyone with it after they got out. Great video man, love the energy. New sub.

This video was really helpful! My boyfriend just left for basic training this past week to fort benning under an option 40 contract. After basic training, he does AIT then airborne school and then RASP.

You can be a ranger with medical waiver. As long as the injury isn’t chronic

Great video!!! Thank you!

Is it possible to sign an 11x option 40 contract straight out of high school and if it is how likely is it. I’m almost done with my sophomore year and I’m not sure what I have to do to expand my chances for an 11x option 40

Update: After OSUT/AIT, you go to RASP then go to Airborne. If you fail RASP, you'll probably be denied Airborne.

I am a Army Recruiter and 5 people I recruited tried the 11X 40 option. Keyword “Tried”......

Im sorry but dont listen to his advice about Ranger school, or any other elite school for that matter. You dont need to run a 31 minute 5 mile or be a pt god to make it through these courses, sure you need to be fit, but mainly you just need to have no quit in your heart and want nothing other than success.

Thanks man! Makes you think about getting the contract or applying later ya know?

Great video!

now do a video on 18x. SF off the street program if you could. I imagine it's about the same as far as requirements. cool video man thanks for serving our country.

I heard that its better to try out for raasp later so that if you fail youll just go back to infantry but if you get the option 40 and fail rasp then they put you anywhere they want.

Hey, thanks for the shout out and thnx for actually making the video. I gotta say though, I was a bit disappointed b/c I was not interested in the op 40 route per say (given that I've done my hwk since I plan on signing one); I was more interested in your literal view of the guys in the 75thRR. STuff like the 'no shits given attitude' (and btw, what do you mean by that? I mean, I know what those words mean, but I would imagine that regular infantry guys are like that as well right? Especially those from like other hardcore units like the 82nd? So, what's different f about the Ranger's 'no shits given attitude'?). You always do a great job covering the in-house side of things (the contractual side, the formal stuff). But see, I know what I need to know on that side. What's interesting are the anecdotes you drop on us here and there about Army life that are so interesting, raw, and piercing. Like the "rangers look all alike," or the lack of any black guys in the regiment. That's the stuff I wanted to hear about. In a future video, I would appreciate it if you could go over these kinds of stuff and your general impression about the regiment from the outside. And more about the kinda guys that make it.

I was a 19D with the 3rd Cav. My Friend who just got out, I ETS'd about 3 years ago and am still Inactive reserve, My question is my friend was in for 6 years and there were rumors of him going to Regiment, so when I caught up with him he stated he was with the 1/75th, berore ETS'n I asked him what his MOS is now and he said 19D1V I asked him why he was not a 11 series and he stated he was OJT'd (on the Job Training) to 11B but he carries the mos of a Scout, Airborne Ranger, Does this make any since to you?, I asked him for his dd214 and he never showed it to me..Im just curios if mb he is Bullshitting me. I was thinking about rejoining cus civilian life sux for me. I know I will not have to go through Basic again and prob go straight to RASP. My question is if you are a combat mos and go to RASP do you then got to go to 11X school or do they just OJT you to Infantry, and you keep you MOS nomenclature like 19D but get the V, I heard the V is just for Ranger school. I did try to goggle this but cannot come up with a clear answer. Thanks so much for your service, and talking the time to reply. Scouts Out.

Yea bro I got a 35 and a gt of 90 something, been a while and I was able to get option 40 on my contract

Good vid man

Not everyone that is a Ranger is the most super human beast. Not always the guys that are the strongest, fastest, and toughest to make it. Most of the time it's the right guy. You can finish RAASP and not be selected to be a Ranger.

can you please make a video on body armor and peoples hight and how it feels when training please :-)

From what I have gathered, if this is a legitimate way, please confirm. You join the army, complete BCT, AIT, RASP, Airborne, and then Rangers School in that order, with the little things in between??

If I take option 40 in high school for the us army rangers can I join the 75th ranger regiment straight after high school with option 40

I qualify for option 40

Good info...

Depending on the waiver you can still get option 40

I just got a 91c with option 40

Here's ur salute big guy officer overlord

I scored a 72 on my asvab and got 114 on my Gt. Yeah, try to score higher!

Ranger school is not hard,it's more mine game than anything,because I went through recond school in January 1976 and Ranger school in may 1977. Don't get me wrong its no cake walk you got to have that don't guit frame of mine and you can make it, you don't have to be able lift cars but you got to be in pretty good physical condition to make it. Back at the beginning of my statement i said it wasn't hard , let take that back its was kind of hard that i think of it.

I've always wanted to go military, and just recently discovered option 40 and the rangers (like a year ago). Now I'm not the fastest, strongest, smartest guy out there, but I have the determination to go until the end. I do want to be a Ranger, I really do, but does it sound like the Rangers are for me? I currently train 6 days a week and am going through college for now.

Know this video is a bit old, bit if anyone who knows could help me out. I'm looking to get an option 40, is a 3 year 11x option 40 contract possible?

I have mild asthma what should I fo

25u op40 shipping to basic July 5th

There is some really screwed up information in this video. - Since around 2006, candidates go to Pre-RASP and RASP before Airborne School. Regiment got tired of paying $50k per Airborne student when classes of 300+ RASP candidates showed up to Pre-RASP and half quit in the first week. But Regiment was still getting stuck with the bill. - Ranger School is not in the official pipeline. It can take 12-18 months for a Ranger to get a slot to go to SURT and then go to Tab School depending on how well they perform at their job. There have been Rangers who have done full enlistments and never been to Tab school. They either chose to keep deploying with their Brothers, didn't care, or simply didn't want to go. It limits your advancement and access to other schools and you'll never hold a leadership position in Regiment; but it has happened. - Everyone from E-6 and up goes to RASP 2, not just senior NCOs. And everytime you advance to the next highest leadership position, you get sent back to RASP 2 to make sure you are still up to speed on the basics. Regardless of rank. Only unit in the US arsenal that does this. - Not everyone that goes to RASP is a 'beast'. It's not about the best guy, it's about being the right guy. You can max on every single physical test and skills task, but if they simply don't like your face, you fail your psyche eval, you don't get your security clearance, your fellow candidates peer you out because they don't like you, or you just don't have the right attitude; you won't get selected. - Regiment needs and recruits for all of the following MOS's, not just the few mentioned: 11B, 11C, 11Z, 12B, 12H, 12R, 12W, 12Y, 13F, 13Z, 17C, 17E, 25B, 25C, 25D, 25E, 25N, 25P, 25Q, 25S, 25U, 25W, 25X, 27D, 29E, 35F, 35G, 35L, 35M, 35N, 35P, 35S, 35Z, 36B, 37F, 38B, 42A, 56M, 68J, 68S, 68T, 68W, 68X, 74D, 79S, 88M, 88N, 89B, 91B, 91C, 91D, 91E, 91F, 91S, 91X, 91Z, 92A, 92F, 92G, 92L, 92R, 92Y, 94E, 94F, 94W, 94Y More info and to contact Regiment directly: www.benning.army.mil/Tenant/75thRanger/Recruiting.html - While it's your best bet is to hold out for an Option 40 contract before you ship from MEPs (even if it takes months), Regiment now has hot desks on most training posts in the US (since around 2015) and do a presentation and recruiting day for most AIT and OSUT classes. That's because so many folks quit RASP or Pre-RASP. If they don't have reps on your training post, email or call them directly at Fort Benning. They can change your orders remotely if your MOS is in demand and the timing fits a Pre-RASP intake. They are a very calm and professional team of guys. If they need your MOS and you are doing well in initial training and your general profile passes the sniff test; you'll get a shot. Regiment are almost always short handed. When I got to my (supposedly) 11 man squad, it was me, two other guys and my squad leader. Two others were away at schools and one other had been seriously injured. Regiment are never at full strength.

Hey, I'm about to take the asvab and I don't know what job should I take, I love infantry and I would love to be a 11x or 11b but I got a baby girl on the way and a wife, idk what would you recommend me?

If you go 11x would you go to bct, oust, then your unit or bct, osut, then right away to airborne and rasp?

how fast do they run? typically

I have a question. I ship to basic soon but I don’t have Option 40 in my contract and my MOS is 11B. What are the odds that I will be able to become a ranger without it? Would you recommend I cancel my DEP contract before I ship out and sign up again so I can get it, or should I go with it and try to volunteer?

if I make it to become a ranger and I want to go back to ranger school and get my tab and fail the school, would I still be in the regiment?

So is an op 40 contract the equivalent to a recon contract in the Marines?

I thought was told by a recruiter it is around 105 the other day

Do you see more people from ROTC or OCS in Rasp or ranger school?

#Dopevid✌💯

You said medical waivers? Does that include glasses?

Scored a 103 GT score will going infantry then airborne be able to get me into rasp

Lmao I picked 92G with option 40 😅😂

I fucking love you, thanks

I think you can earn your the Tab. Drive Sir RLTW!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you be a officer and be a ranger

What's the difference between a 68W and a 91W?

I’m a 9th grader thinking of joining The green berets. What’s the recommendation of taking this path? 18x or going through some other army operations such as the army rangers. I as well want to know how to train myself physically because I feel like I do have the mentality but physically I need work on that.

did you ever wish you enlisted boot instead of officer?

How much combat do rangers see? Cuz it would suck to be ranger n see no combat.

Well the tab is mandatory for Combat MOS in the Ranger Bat . POGS don't have to get a Tab unless they're an Officer . Also I didn't score a 300 and I got an option 40 . So that's not true at all buddy you have to be mentally tough .

Damn now I don’t know if I want that opt 40

Can you become a tab Ranger if you had to acquire a medical waiver?

What do you mean by physical waivers

I heard that you have to go through RASP after Airborne school now? Cause they got tired of "wasting time" with non dedicated people

Not everyone that goes to RASP goes to ranger school. Depends on Rank

Is it possible for people to go through ROTC and then get into the 75th?

i got a 42A option 40. idk what Human resources need a ranger for, but oh well

Have you chose what area you are going to be an officer at?

what qualifies you for security clearance

I hate college and I don't want to be here anymore, I'm very fit. Suggestions?

Sorry LT but I dont entirely agree with your opinion on this. Many Many guys have made it through RASP and Ranger school that were not "beast ". Desire and heart go a long way in completing these schools.

I just got 11x option 40 contract and I ship out may 24th I’ve always wanted it to be just like my brother but shit man I’m super nervous

I have a question in thinking about joining what's the biggest con about being in the army

Recently I went to the meps, the doctor just touched my hand then straight up told me that I have a skin condition and I need to get a waiver. Growing up, I did not have any medical problems nor conditions, that sht was crazy. So eventually I had to get a letter from a doctor and my waiver was approved. But the thing is, I couldn’t get option 40 on my contract anymore cuz I got fked over by the meps doctor. Guess my only option is to wait till I arrived in unit.

GT for op40 is 105 now.

Do you know anything about getting LASIK before going to RASP? Will it disqualify you?

What's your MOS

can normal civilian that didnt serve join the 75th ranger regiment?

Along with your disclaimer of opinion, you should have also mentioned that you were NOT A U.S. ARMY RANGER.

I have 11x option 40 contract with a 40,000 bonus i leave next month

I got the exact same fucking score on my asvab Lol

12B Option 40

Helpful video man! I'm planning on 11x opt. 40. Can I have your email?

I thought infantry mos was 11B

🇺🇲

You need a 105 gt score not 110

what's a gt score?

The only way to be a Ranger is you have to be liked by the higher ups. It's really that simple.
