Ranger Gives Tips to Survive Ranger School !!MUST SEE!!

[music13able]

wow you know your stuff im guessing you found this out all the hard way?

[genevabuck]

What kind of flashlight is that? Gotta have one.

[Jpago]

@genevabuck Surefire 6P I believe. it is on my LBV but it is not handy to check. It is like 60 dollars, the red lense cover is about 20 at clothing sales.

[thehomas86]

25 years ago a Ranger grad told us to stick with standard Army equipment. I got frostbite on my hands and feet.

[Deluca123456789]

oh and thanks for putting the Nike SFB up i bought a pair good shit comfy as hell

[Deluca123456789]

what is the tobacco situation in ranger school. you allowed to dip and or have tins that's my biggest concern haha not really

[Jpago]

@Deluca123456789 no. In my dads class in 87 they could and thats when started but TRADOC is hard on it now. It also dehydrates you so its a safety concern..

[Deluca123456789]

@Jpago really that's rough i can dip there. well thanks for replying back.

[Jpago]

@Deluca123456789 Yeah, I am cutting back for schools this summer and for ranger after IOBC

[XxDopeXxBoyXx]

@Weedflow420 I'm sure they wouldn't want a stoner walking around with a gun either.

[WeedFlow420]

@jobyslaysdragonz11 i wish i could join im fit and 21 but would not put my life in risk for someone else to get richer i want to be a sent only to protect country!

[martywatkins]

I'm really shocked those Nike's made it.

[davidhlusko]

@USM1985dos no because Recon is almost entirely focused on amphibious training. Ranger does drop a higher percentage of the class. So statistically speaking Ranger is harder. But Recon trains as a team not an individual. That's why more people pass Recon.

[shooby106]

ive been seriously looking into seals or ranger school, unfortunately i just graduated with a bsn and every recruiter pushes me for officer school and to do healtcare, long story short i cant get a straight answer on how to get there from an enlist pov with a bachelors degree( if that at all matters) i just want to do things s*$% no one gets the chance to do and be elite, THis is identical to what i say to a recruiter and they think im F'ing joking, anybody with a clue thats accurate? thanks

[dmesz311]

@shooby106 Just let the recruiter know that you want Infantry WITH ranger and airborne IN YOUR CONTRACT! Make damn sure its in your contract and yes it is possible. If your recruiter tells you otherwise, see a different recruiter. Good luck to you.

[shooby106]

@dmesz311 cool thanks for the advice man, much appreciated

[rocking119]

Thanks for the tips man this would help next month when I live to ranger school

[miked1997]

I'm only 15 right now but i really want to go to ranger school. is there anything i can do now to help prepare for ranger school?

[hollywoodsoldierxxx]

@miked1997 im 15 also. make ssure you take 4 years of rotc at your high school if you can you can enlist as private first class instead of private minus about 12 months of waiting basicly also make sure your tough as nails if you can get involved in sports. make sure you are a master at push ups sit ups and pull ups you need to do ALOT of them in a short amount of time just to qqualify. if its possible run to your house from school instead of getting picked up umm oh ya

[hollywoodsoldierxxx]

@miked1997 part 2: be ready for ruck marches i hear those are serious killers and knock out alot of ranger recruits basicly be prepared to haul a backpack type thing with about 60- 80 pounds of gear in it for 12 miles i think if you slow down at all you get dropped a big thing is work on your stamina. as in work on more being able to do things for long periods of time rather than alot in a short amount of time running helps with that so run alot umm dont worry to much about weightlift

[hollywoodsoldierxxx]

@miked1997be ready to live off very little food and sleep for a long period of time

[hollywoodsoldierxxx]

@miked1997 or you could do rasp first which is preferable its a week shorter and upon finishing you automaticly become a ranger and are assigned a battalion . you can be a ranger and then do ranger school later but RASP is hard as shit to its first 4 day phase is almost an exact copy of the bud/s hell week training phase navy seals have to go through

[MrWarman17]

ounces make pounds ,but pounds make pain

[this1sYiutube]

My buddy went through Ranger school and also said that it was more the "army gayness" that made it suck, and not so much the physical and endurance stuff.

[chesterbesterfeild]

10:17 "butthurt" "gay" "retarded" God bless our troops

[bill3ok]

whats the main difference between being regular infantry and ranger? just like the normal day to day stuff

[infinithope]

iddk what army gay means ...

[browneye77]

Gay is just the current Joe terminology for "This sucks and I don't want to do that". I heard that a lot from my Joe's on my last deployment. When I was a Joe we just said "Fuck the Army" then Fuck It, Drive On.

[abnrgr1989]

Tip Eight: Durable flashlight, red lense with extra bulbs and batteries, 550 cord, good gerber tool. Sewing kit, and Terrain model kitsupplies

[abnrgr1989]

Tip Seven: Did I mention know the opords inside and out, and the handbook before you get there? No Nobody wants a dummy on his team. Tip Eight: Durable flashlight, red lense with extra bulbs and batteries, 550 cord, good gerber tool. Sewing kit, and Terrain model kitsupplies. Tip Seven: Did I mention know the opords inside and out, and the handbook before you get there? No Nobody wants a dummy on his team.

[abnrgr1989]

and when our on a graded patrol and in the spotlight, they (your patrol) will return the favor. Tipp Eleven: Follow instructions, be safe, never argue with the ranger instructors, and always, always ask smart questions. Show you want to be there, learn from the RI's, and don't be afraid to ask for help, or advice from teamates.et. .

[abnrgr1989]

Tip Six: I use poly pro socks, light weight for wearing under my cotton, or wool socks. Reduces friction, protects your feTip Ten: Don't screw your buddies over, always be a team player, never steal their food or supplies. Always volounteer to do details, pull duty, or carry the radio, or machine gun. It shows your part of the team and not lazy,

[abnrgr1989]

with small unit opords before you go, no sense in learning there as you are tired, wet, hungry, and miserable.TipFour: Be in great shape, lots of 4-6 road marching, light weight..up to 40 lbs. Don't kill your body before you go. Tip Five: Bring quality boots, with good inserts. Bring mole skin for your blisters, and plenty of Dr Skools foot powder.

[abnrgr1989]

Wow..I wasted 3 minutes of my life on this video..these tips are more like a waste of time, than a good idea. Tipe One: Memorize the Ranger handbook. Tip Two: Attend Pre-Ranger if its offered, if not, Take out FM 21-75 and get it down in your head as far as small unit tactics. Tip Three: Be 100% comfortable

[SalemGhost]

What kind of SOG multi tool is that?

i got a qiestion when u get ranger school after osut staying in benning how would one be able to maintain these equiptments???

leaving in feb for cav scouts

did not get airborn or ranger in my contract how would i be able to obtain it before or during basic??

thanks alot

[SideWays8Productions]

About how difficult is the PT? is it like the SF selection, where the first day is 18 hour PT? And what's the "minimum" weight for ruck marches? Some people tell me 35 (under regulation) while others tell me 65.

[this1sYiutube]

@SideWays8Productions Other than assessment or Camp Darby phase, the PT is mostly road marches and long patrols. NEVER EVER shoot for the minimum!!! You go for the maximum every time. You will get DQ'ed or recycled for trying that crap in Darby right off the bat. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

[SideWays8Productions]

@this1sYiutube Well I didn't mean minimum PT requirements, which I never do (I've been training since I was 12) but I mean, what is the average weight for a ruck march? Some people tell me 35, others say 65.

[Reggindriver1]

HAHAHAHA All it really says is get ready for the suck...

[alezatf]

whats that about army gay?

[YayoCummins]

This guy has a channel on Youtube under the name "queensofbattle" hes got videos of combat and downtime and training

[L0stmusic]

I am only a Freshman in High School and I train every single day burn my self out 6 miles in 40 minutes trying to get 35 minutes 200 pushups 300 crunches every other day then swim workouts, pullups etc. Absolutely NO Drugs all in my mental and physical strength for no mistakes i have 4 years of training myself before Ranger School

[vjdsjgc]

@L0stmusic

I admire your enthusiasm, but running 6 miles everyday isn't every healthy. It's good to do it about 3 days a week. Not even here in the Army, instructors won't make you run 6 miles everyday.

But keep up the hard work and good luck son.

[JBird217]

@L0stmusic You can't go straight to Ranger School upon enlistment, but you can go to RASP and if you complete that, you can be in the 75th Ranger Regiment. I think you can go to Ranger School once you're an E-4.

[snikkkers]

@L0stmusic Hey brother way to go on the pt, but I've got to agree with vjdsjgc. To train for basic: do bodyweight calithenics, which you're already doing. Don't worry about runs any further than 5 miles. To train for Ranger School, ruck march like hell.

[yank33g03]

Hey Guys i am a Junior in HS and Im am planning on joining 18x special forces candidate any one that has done this can you help me out on any basic info facts please i cant find much information on the internet but PLEASE HELP!

[spiritwolf50]

@yank33g03 I no Special forces wasnt allways able to go into off the street, but few years ago they started sending new soldiers to pre selection which prepares you for actual SF selection. myself ive been in army for awhile and planning on going to selection. But they have said this pre selection course has 70 percent higher completion rate because they get you young and get you ready, I'd go to a local reqruiter because things change. dont want to tell you wrong

[yank33g03]

@spiritwolf50 Thanks bro definitely will!

[ReconFilmsHD]

last night at fort brag then its off to to ranger school not gonna quit no matter what. wish me luck rangers HOOAH!

[kungfuiskoo]

Your neighbor thinks your insane? That's because you are insane! You signed up to jump out of airplanes, get shot at, and even worse, go to Ranger School! R.L.T.W.

[kungfuiskoo]

Can you post that book page by page? even if it will be different i would like an idea of what they say.

[Omega1874]

Don't go and be a fucking marine only to transfer over to be a ranger. That's one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. If you go marines, stay there. You want to be a ranger - join the army, get through basic, get your blue chord, get your fatass in shape, apply to ranger school, get your tab, and get into a bat. Just because you have the tab, it doesn't mean you're a ranger; only ranger qualified. Keep that in mind.

[socialmarauder]

what kind of flashlight is that? kinda looks like some kind of surefire with a red filter but I'm not sure..

[bwombough28]

awesome video man, i plan on being a ranger but im only 16. do you have any tips for me to start preparing for it now? i did some research and i think joining the marines first than going to the ranger school would be best, would you agree?

[TheAirborne317]

@bwombough28 u cannot be a ranger when u are a marine.

[bwombough28]

@TheAirborne317 yeah i know that, i wanted to switch from the marines to the army to be a ranger after about 2 to 4 years as a marine

[WhoaFlyingNinjas]

@bwombough28 In my opinion, that would be inadvisable. You should choose what you want to be and roll with it right from the getgo.

[0311SILVERADO]

@TheAirborne317

you can go to ranger school while in the marines, plenty of recon marines do it

[WhoaFlyingNinjas]

@0311SILVERADO I believe he meant he wants to be in the 75th.

Something should be done about this distinction between graduates of Ranger School and Army Rangers problem, it just causes confusion.

[spiritwolf50]

@TheAirborne317 Marines go to army schools for the training. army has more schools than marine that being a biger organization

[spencegame]

lol Army gay

[iguardcalifornia]

@Kodos777 Thanks but i contacted the poster and asked him for permission to use his vid.

[SydnyHoskinson]

ill be going through ranger school in my pursuit of 18B

[CasualtyofWar88]

Nice tip with the ruck and 240. I was an AG until my damn gunner ripped his foot open... Then I became the AG and the gunner for a good while. Wish I knew about that tip back then.

[xXAllThatRemainsxXx]

I have wanted to join the army for all my life and want to be a Ranger but now im really considering joining the marines instead but I still want to be and fight with the army rangers is there anyway I could be in the marines for a couple of years and then go to ranger training and if I pass stay in the army rangers and leave the marines

[USN1985dos]

@xXAllThatRemainsxXx

I'm sure someone has already answered this question, but if they haven't, the answer is no. A very select few Marines can go to Ranger school, but you can't go to RASP unless you are in the Army. But don't worry. If you are hardcore enough for the 75th Regiment, then you should have no trouble making it through a highspeed USMC course such as Recon. If not, then you probably wouldn't make it in the Regiment anyway.

[jasonbournetodie]

For all you aspiring Rangers (myself included) Ranger School DOES NOT make you a Ranger (Spec-Ops)! Repeat: Ranger School DOES NOT make you a Ranger. I'm not sure where this misconception came from, but Ranger School is just a hardcore leadership course.

In order to go Ranger (Spec-Ops) you must go thru RASP to get the tan beret. Then and ONLY then will you join the 75th RGT.

Ranger School isn't even required for the 75th RGT unless you wanna be an NCO or CO in one of the 3 Bns.

-Hooah!

[DerekD7777]

@jasonbournetodie Yessss your right!! I'm so happy now. I thought i had to go to ranger school after basic :)

[citadelboo1]

Where was all this hi-tech stuff in class of 2-82? I'm an old school Ranger.

82-87 with the 1st of the 75th. Rangers are Rangers.

I lost 26lbs. And hated the "Worm Pit" at Rogers. nothing like breaking thin frozen ice at 0400 Then Pt so cold and wet.

Have fun whoever wants to chase a tradition and personal dream. If you are selected never give up. It is not for all.

[omv1]

@masterkorn. my thoughts exactly. Beefcake knows jack dick about how it is in the Army. 18 years in I know but good luck to you beefcake!

[omv1]

@masterkorn. m

[kevinwooten14]

are there any tools that we could possibly get from basic training?

[masterkorn]

@mrbeefcake2500

Don't be so cocky just make sure u get over 250 on ur APFT I've seen people get dropped for airborne contracts ur not a soldier till u pass basic not an infantry man till you get that blue cord ur not a ranger till u get that tab and scroll

[MrBeefcake2500]

I am going to benning feb 6 to basic/ait then to airborne and after, ranger school. I have it in my contract, I am really appriciative of your advice. I have been preping as best I can. thanks - rangers lead the way!

[DJxSGGxNeo]

@MrBeefcake2500 Yay your going to love sand hill it's the best place on fort Benning :)

[ssgn6]

go ARMY issue gear all the way,trust your training and don't fall "ASLEEP"

[ProudMilitaryMom]

Thanks for this video. My Army son is heading to Fort Benning for Ranger School this month. He served his country in 3 combat tours in Iraq/Afghanistan and completed Sniper School. He comes from a family of a Green Beret...and I have faith he will get through this rigorous course. Thanks again!

[justinmaples]

good tips and really funny at the same time

[divecommando]

do you have to bring similar stuff to special forces assesment and selection, good advice and its an honor to talk to a ranger

[SpazWarrior02]

should I get this stuff after boot camp?

[TheOlliemac99]

Do you just join the army and say I want to be a ranger

[MrHumbleJJ]

@TheOlliemac99 haha EVERYONE wishes it was that easy! Sir, do some research.

[dustin720]

@TheOlliemac99 If you're lucky, you can get a RIP contract, but getting Ranger school in it, I haven't heard of that happening...but getting slots is hard enough.

The Watch Is Called A Suunto Core Wrist-Top Computer Watch

[Hollywood357AceQue]

RANGER school sure has changed since I went through 1995 Ice Storm Ranger Class 3-96. All we were allowing was Army issued gear. No head lights, sun glasses, boot insole etc...Oh well, no matter what you wear, no need to RANGER UP and FIGHT ON TO THE RANGER OBJECT and COMPLETE THE MISSION!!!!

[USBP464]

@Hollywood357AceQue I graduated in Class 15-89 and it was all Army issue gear as well. There was Benning, Mountains, Florida and Desert phases. I guess that's changed as well. The best advice I received was "never be last at anything. Don't be the last to finish chow, load up your gear, finish a run or road march, etc. You don't have to be first, but never be last." That advice turned out to be spot on.

[kwonat7]

what kind of watch is that?

[bigkevin182]

Wow, I'm glad I saw this video. ALOT of tips, more than anyone has said about Rangers to me. I Subscribed and also looking forward to joining the Army Rangers and hopefully one day maybe?.. become my dream MOS as a Sniper.

anywayz thanks, and good luck in Ranger school everyone and good luck iguardcaliforna guy.

[divecommando]

@bigkevin182

even if you dont become a ranger you can still become an army sniper

just fyi but good luck

[tobeaninja]

@bigkevin182 yeah sniper isn't an MOS it's an MOS identifier if your 11b. Sniper just means your Bravo 4 qualified. Though you don't need to be B4 to be in a sniper section or scout platoon. Which is where you want to be.

[BieberH0le69]

Back up batteries I mean

[BieberH0le69]

I really like those suunto watches but the core has a battery life of only a few months. Better take a few backups to ranger school. Just a tip

[ao10s]

Just going to post this; it may clarify things for you or you may already know this. To serve in the 75th ranger regiment, you attend Basic training, advanced individual training, airborne school, and then Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP). If you complete RASP, you will be assigned to the regiment. Many guys will attend Ranger School after RASP or after they were assigned to the Regiment. Ultimately, you will attend Ranger school sometime if you want to be a Ranger.

[rafyraf100]

he a ranger!!!! hooah!!

[mild810]

when did u graduate month/year?? and what is your rank? do u really know what you are talking about?

[staaberelli]

Well spoken you get a GO for this video. Got any more on PT for RS?

[caloy6981]

thanks for the pointers

[DevinChief]

what kind of gear do Ranger's use in the woods or in a jungle?

[groves1990]

hey man, im headed to rasp (ranger assessment and selection) here in about a month and a half. this is a really good video for people looking for tips like these, but what kind of smartwool socks did you get?

[mryagermister]

how did you sign up for the army rangers did you just go to your local recruiting office and say i want to be a army ranger?

[Fals3Pretense]

@mryagermister you go in and Tell the recruiter you want an "11x Opt. 40" Contract, that is infantry with Ranger Training as your first assignment. If you can't get it because they are really rare then 11x work but you have to be one of the Top of your class through Basic and AIT and say how badly you want to be a Ranger then you will be able to go to RASP as well.

[mercturd85]

you went through the school, but how about the selection. i dont want to be ranger qualified, i want to BE a ranger. how hard is selection for the 75th

[kage223119]

@mercturd85 Its a big suck fest. as long as you have the mindset that it can always get worse and you don't mind you will stick it out despite any injury or level of misery then it is very possible. During the first phase just shut your brain off and move. If you make it the first month then you will most likely make it. It's no joke, I have seen tabbed sgt's fail it when I made it as a private. Just stick with is the best advice for it.

[IXxAmplifiedxX]

i thought they give you everything you need when you go into ranger school. i was wrong. how much would you say all that gear costs in total?

[RolexMan1997]

[ToughShooter]

@metalwaffle94 Simply attending Ranger School does not mean that you're a Ranger, you are simply Ranger qualified. The tab is just a school, and our scroll is a way of life.
