Nicolas Fernandez 6632266 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello everyone. One of the biggest goals I&#39;d like to achieve in my military career is to attend and pass Ranger School. I also joined in order to do Civil Affairs. If selected would I have the ability to go to Ranger School? Would Civil Affairs prepare me in the small unit tactics / patrolling that Ranger School assesses? Any information from 38 Series / SOF personnel would be greatly appreciated! 2021-01-04T18:25:08-05:00 Nicolas Fernandez 6632266

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most CA personnel are on Ft Bragg, which just so happens to have one of the best Small Unit Ranger Tactics Course (SURT) in the conventional army to teach you everything you need to pass Ranger School. You&#39;ll just have to convince your leadership to send you.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Going to Ranger school requires a school seat. Getting a school seat is the hurdle. <br /><br />Plenty of folks outside of the Infantry and outside of the Army from other countries/Military branches have attended Ranger school. All they needed was a school seat and to pass the screening. <br /><br />Don’t overthink it

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can you attend Ranger school as a 38B SOF CA Soldier. Of course. Will it eat up almost HALF of your pre-mission training time, absolutely. Will the CA course prepare you for the Army Camping School, not at all.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes. It is actually encouraged. My Operations NCOIC went as a MSG.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a 38B in the 95th CA BDE (SO)(A). I can promise you if you show up to the BDE and ask to go to Ranger school, you WILL go! It’s the new hotness and any pre-mission training or METL based tasks required for deployment will be covered during your time at Ranger School and the CSM WILL bless off on it. Your company will work with you on the tasks that you will be assessed on during your time at Ranger School. <br /><br />Good luck at selection and message me if you have any questions!
