My name is Josh, 2nd Lt USMC. I graduated from OCS July 2, 2009 and report to TBS in October. I know that some Marines are given the opportunity to attend Ranger School, so I wanted to look into it.

We actually have several Marines on the board who have earned their Ranger Tab. Rat and SOTB come to mind at the moment, but I believe we have a couple more.

Welcome to the site, and thanks for the job you're doing, Sir.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

Welcome, LT. Actually I have nothing against Marines, I even have a brother-in-law in that category. There were about 20 Marines in my Ranger School class. They fared just about the same as everyone else. Best of luck to you in achieving your goals.
