Weak SITREP. Please explain RASP to us old Rangers.

You are still welcome here, but many of us are curious.

Our RASP class started out with 118 or so and graduated about 42. Its a phenomenal program with a lot of experience being brought in to train up those selected from Phase 1. I wont get into specifics on here, but basically the info put out by the Regiment/Army on preparing new Rangers for deployments in the Regiment is true, and they execute it very well. Within Phase 1 are two Phases 1 and 2. Phase 1 is more along the lines of RIP, while Phase 2 is more of an OTC. To give you a minor detail, we split up about 20k rounds of ammo for 28 guys while at the range.

It is amazing looking at how the Ranger path to glory has evolved.
