Since the Rangers are a light-weight special force group, if my eyesight is extremely poor (I am talking way worse then 20/100 in both eyes) but it is fixable to 20/20 can I still become an Army Ranger if I have the surgery to fix my vision? (I currently use contact lenses and my eyesight is around 20/20 with them.)
- If you pass the minimum requirements for recruitment to the Rangers (I plan on exceeding them), are you gaurenteed a spot if/when you graduate from the Ranger Indoctrination Program? Also if I don't get injured and I am able to do the entire process, am I going to make it to the R.I. Program?
- Does height have any affect on becoming a Ranger, by height I mean like I am 6'3-6'4; is that too tall?
- If their is one thing to focuss on in the entire bootcamp process, what would it be? (I have been told running, although this is coming from normal Army and Navy soldiers, is it the same basic training before the Rangers go through the more advanced training?)
