Seriously guy, if you had a RANGER standing next to you in formation and asked the same question he is not going to tell you much, so don't expect much here. You should know by now Soclal Media sites are watched by SOCOM. If not then I guess I am the first to tell you. SPECIAL FORCES is the same way, though SF actually signs a confidentiality agreement not to tell others externally what they do without express permission of the Pentagon.

Why not just go for it? If it’s not for you just get out in 3 years

What's Harder - Ranger School or the Special Forces Qualification Course?

It really depends on your personality and performance bud. I was always a joker and very open and outgoing, my experience was very good in the unit. Some others folks were great at what they do, but just not the right fit. There is no cookie cutter answer.

Just go for it and see for yourself. Nobody here knows you, so even if they've spent time in Batt, they aren't going to be able to articulate "how things are day to day" because your "day to day" is going to depend a lot on how well you mesh with the unit and everyone in it. Same as any other Infantry unit, to be honest. Some people fit right in and excel in one place, and not so much in another. If you don't fit in, you'll either be pushed out or hate your time there and move on when you can.
