What happens between RIP & Ranger School?

[tsg1965]

Thank you for the warm welcome to my Intro.

I have read through the different related topics on this site and my questions lie between the main focuses of explanation.

I spoke with my son on the phone (which is rare in basic) and the concerns that he and alot of fellow "Ranger Hopeful" recruits have is not with RIP or Ranger School but down the road. It is what occurs between RIP and Ranger School. They are under the impression that after RIP they would be assigned to the Ranger Training Battalion for up to a year getting "Smoked" and experiencing high speed/high speed training daily. Would one stay at Benning or go to another Ranger Battalion etc.?
Where as, if they go to a unit after jump school they will receive more practical unit training or go overseas which will prepare them better for the Ranger training down the road.

With that said. What is the traditional assignment and expectations of a soldier between RIP and Ranger School?

Any clarifications or experiences you share I will forward to my son.

Regards,

A Ranger Bn where they will trained more ....they well be hardend more ...they will be deployed to combat. and they will do their job as Rangers. One day their team leader and squad leader will say that they have a slot to go to school then they will get a tab.

But as long as they wear the scroll they are Rangers ....It is painfull, dificult and fraught with danger and pitfalls. He if he doesnt quit and he doesnt get DX'ed he will look around and realize that in a year that only a hanful of people remian from his RIP class.

RIP only insures that you might have the mettel to make it in a BN. Only the man can wake up everyday, look in the mirror, and decide he will not quit today.....and he will continue to be the best.

As the CSM stated...RIP---> Ranger Battalion--->Combat with their Ranger Battalion--->Ranger School once they are deemed mature enough to pass--->Back to Ranger Battalion--->More combat

An excellent career path, indeed.

I have seen many RIP graduates admonished: Yesterday was the last easy day. Now the tough part begins. You earned your tab and beret. Now it's up to you to keep them.
