The tan beret and the Army National Guard...

Post by Rabidus1 »

Rangers,

The unit I am being assigned to is a NG LRSD on airborne status...It has been said that shortly after I graduate from BAC and arrive at the unit, I will be sent to the 14 day Pre-Ranger course at WTC in Ft. Benning, GA. Shortly followed by Pre-Ranger, I will be sent to Ranger School if I can put in work and prove myself worthy to the unit to be sent to the school.

I know that the tan beret is presented upon graduation of RIP. Being that I will not have to go through RIP, my question is, will I be authorized to wear the tan beret in my NG unit if I have what it takes to complete Ranger School and earn the tab? I would greatly appreciate any information!

AHHHH NO!

You will wear a Maroon Beret after completing BAC and assignment to your unit. That will be with beret with unit flash and crest. Don't show up with a 507th PIB flash and crest ....if you do.....your stem will be showing.

Most of the time you will wear a PC though.

You will ONLY wear a Tan Beret if you are assigned to a Ranger unit and make it through RIP/ROP.

If I were you I would go "Thrash" yourself. ie do some PT...you will need it.

Without realizing it, you just answered your own question right here. Assuming the best and that you actually complete Ranger school, you will be awarded the coveted Ranger tab. This is your reward.

RIP = tan beret
Ranger school = tab

p.s.
I guess you'll just have to be content with the black beret they frisbee you after basic that the Rangers used to wear.... And while you are wearing your new black beret, feel free to enjoy all the esprit de corp that you get while wearing it.... :roll:

What you are supposed to do when graduating each school is wear what the instructors wear...ie,

After BAC- show up to your unit wearing the Brown Round.

Rabidus1, I see a challenge. I expect you had better start increasing your PT. Cams and I will be sitting on the sidelines drinking beer and eating popcorn.
