75th Ranger Regiment tips?

2014-11-17T16:33:57-05:00

I am in ait and we had a recruiter come and talk to us about being in the 75th rangers. He said he needed people with our mos. (42 a) so I volunteered as got a packet. My question is what should I do/ what are they looking for? And what should I do to get selected.

Hi PFC Private RallyPoint Member - thanks for posting this thread. I found two RallyPoint members who may be really helpful to connect you with. Here they are. I'd recommend connecting with them, messaging them, etc. to get great insights since they are on the ground in the 75th now.

Go there, whatever MOS you have is needed. you will work with people that have been specially selected to serve in the regiment. IT will be a tough road to get there with ABN School, RASP, and as an NCO Ranger School, but it is worth it!

I am one of the few intel officers in the army with a Ranger Tab.

RLTW!

GO FOR IT.
Our class at AIT was visited by a SF trooper looking for bodies. Had to take a written and physical. Got selected and went to jump school. Didn't make it with follow on physical exam (eyes). But DANG is was GREAT.

You might not make it - most don't.
But it will be a great ride and you will kick yourself later for not trying.

Read and memorize the Ranger Creed, then you'll know what they are looking for!

You are just gonna be an Admin Soldier for the 75th... the only thing different is that you will be dealing mostly with Rangers... you will probably be able to wear the 75th scroll on your uniform... You arent going into Ranger selection course or anything like that, but just remember to be squared away and do what you are supposed to...

They want team players but also ones who can lead. Be mentally tough you will have lots of challenges both physically and mentally. They will push you past what you thought was your limits. Rangers lead the way
