[dcFalcons51]

[dcFalcons51]

hey asshole, if you dont have a nice comment to post, dont bother posting. ive seen the comments you make on other people's videos. you're a dick

Passing RIP is the easy part. The hard part about being a Ranger is staying in. Its a high tempo job. If you think its for you, PT your ass off and never quit.

Sorry, I'd rather go for a long tab...2 months of ranger school compared to almost a year and a half of the Special Forces Q course...there's really no comparison...

@20FUTUREMARINE12 Just saw this thanks man I am keeping it up and he is a hero no doubt.

[rangerdoorknob]

188 started and 105 finished? what in the fuck are they doing at RIP nowadays?! I graduated with 42 with around the same starting. And only a few years before these guys. Tsk tsk.

@mckinley1175 he died a fuckin hero bro. you join any branch and i guarantee he will be lookin down at you from fuckin them pearly gates proud as shit. if you want to be a Marine then do it for you. if you want to be a Ranger then do it. i can promise you man your friend is a fuckin American hero and no matter what he would be fuckin proud of you. Keep your head up man.

[mckinley1175]

@20FUTUREMARINE12 I want to be a Ranger but my friend was a Marine and I was suppose to go with him right after high school but didn't and he died in Afghanistan and I feel gotta do it for him.

[20FUTUREMARINE12]

@mckinley1175 why would you switch from being a Marine to going Army Ranger. I decided not to go Marine Corps because my whole family is Army. Marines dont usually go from the Corps to the Army.

[mckinley1175]

@dcFalcons51 I want to be a Ranger but i'm going Marines 1st but how long is rip?

Congrats to Steve!

I've haven't had the great opportunity to go to RIP or Ranger School yet, but from what I've been told, RIP is basically a 2 or 3 week smoke session. Is that right?

Another question...for the guys that don't go to RIP, but go to Ranger School for the tab, do they still get a tan beret but sent back to their units (obviously not being authorized to wear it)?

[deguimerautube]

@deguimerautube Thanks for the timely response, haha... Nah it's cool.

Thank you for the information, because I was not sure how it worked, I thought that they gave both at once when you became a Ranger... Is that why when they go to Ranger school they are called RANGER by the instructors? I saw a training video/documentary where they were trying for the TAB and they were being called Rangers before they even passed. Thank you very much.

@deguimerautube I know your comment is a year long but..... when you finish RASP (which used to be RIP) you get the tan beret and the Ranger Scroll. You get the tab when you go and finish Ranger School.
