Ranger Bugsy, Thank you for your reply and I COMPLETELY agree with all your comments. My son is currently off doing what real Rangers do and I just relayed the comments he made to me. There is a reason why 137 soldiers from 2 jump classes were in RIP hold with my son and 4 weeks later 41 graduated. ...

Hi Rangers, Finally heard from my son and we spoke of this matter. He said Dad, The good from this is we will not or should not have do some of the duties we have done in the past cause of low numbers in support. They did this becaue of low grad numbers in RIP on soft skilled soldiers. As far as the...

Hello Rangers, I am somewhat confused and am sure the Rangers on this board (not support rangers) might be able to clear things up for me. Does this 2 week soft training now diminish what soldirs go thru in actual RIP? Is it still going to be thought of now that any soldier that earns his Tan Beret ...

Hi, Srry definitely wanted to add, the best of luck to ya.

Hi, My question is why HOPE for Infantry. Join enlisted, go OSUT, Airborne School, RIP. Go to Ranger Bn. Get deployed a few times, evintually go to Ranger School. Put in OCS packet on reenlistment. Return to Ranger Bn once you reach 1st Lt. Sounds easy enough to me. Why hope? when its all there for ...

I realize this is an old topic but didn't know that there was another Ranger Indoctrination Program other than Ft.Benning.

ic, Deadbolt, Thanks for clearing that up for me. Then, I wish you to do the best that you can do. I won't wish you good luck because an honor to serve with the best of the best should not come down to luck. It is an honor only for those that has what it takes. So again Deadbolt give her hell. If yo...

Hello, Just curious. Why does one get a retest and another doesn't? Thought if you failed the initial RIP PT test you were out.

Rangers, Thank you all for an absolutely fantastic response. Will definitely be looking forward to them. soldiersdad

Hello Rangers, To any Ranger that is making the trip to Benning for the 2005 Ranger Rendezous. My son is with the 1st Ranger Bn and will be Jumping In to open the event. Would greatly appreciate any pics of the jump-in, if u have the time. Maybe they could be posted here. Thanks, soldiersdad

Hello Rangers, I am going to post what I have heard. Things are going to change in Ranger BNs. Support unit soldiers are being assigned to Ranger Bn's without going thru RIP. They will be able to wear the Bn Scroll of the Bn they get assigned to. They will not be able to wear the Coveted Tan Beret. ...
