From their treks to search out the Redcoats during the Revolution, to their unparalleled courage on the cliffs above Omaha Beach, and to their lightning strikes during Operation Desert Storm, the U.S. Army Rangers march through American history as the first to go "in harm's way."

on 6/10/2008 This sounds like Cliff from Cheers........however, actually the Rangers in America date back to Roger's Rangers in the 1750s during French & Indian War and the Ranger Battalions have seen action as recently as Operation Iraqi Freedom. An individual Army Ranger School graduate can be part of the Ranger Battalions or complete the school and join a combat arms unit. Completing the school makes you a Ranger and you are authorized to wear the Ranger tab on your uniforms from then on as a sign of your expertise, regardless of unit assignment.

on 5/11/2008 Well, if anyone still reads this, intelligence in terms of the studies you pursue in college, as well as being physically fit brings you well on the right track. I, myself, am attending West Point in the better half of thirty days, and this is certainly a possible career choice, that is if I can become a top notch swimmer. "Anonymous" was correct in the fact that 52 pushups, 6 pull ups, and 62 situps are very easy requirements. The two mile run is what I would think gets most people down.

on 1/21/2007 Does someone's college education help or hurt their chance of being a army ranger? I am a relatively soon to be Theoretical/Statistical Math Major graduate. Also, what is the best way to go about becoming a fit to be a Ranger if you have gained a few pounds since high school graduation?

on 12/22/2006 You don't belong in the Regiment, Anyone reading this trying to research the Regiment doesnt belong. I didnt have RIP in my contract or Airborne but guess what I now belong to the 75th so anyone who thinks that they can become a Ranger just by having it in your contract guess what youll probably be the ones who fall out becuase you didn't earn it like me. But lemme tell you, it feels damn good to have that Tan beret on top my head and all the women to go along with it. Seriously, anyone can make it to the regiment, the only thing stopping you, is, well, YOU. You will defeat yourself! So stay positive and make it through.
