Yea for sure, most of not all active duty schools are open to guard, reserve and other branches of service. I recently graduated master gunner school and we had guard, marine, and even an international student from Morocco. If you can meet the standards and get your unit to bless off, you’re good to go!

Yes the Ranger cours was opeaned up for all service brances and MOS's about ten years ago.
The best thing to do is go to the Fort Benning, Tradoc website it has the link for the Ranger school.
With all the info to go to ranger school.
If your unit has the funds for you to go and you are in the shape to go. Put in that Da form 4187 and requist to go.
There are some things you need to have down backwards , forwards,And side ways.
1. The Ranger Creed.
2. The knots.
3. The Will to never quite. You will be hungry and dead tired all the time.
4. if you get a solt. All ways be at the front of the line.
From the start. like the P.T. test.
At the front of every thing on the DARBY QUEEN.
5. NEVER BUDDY FUCK ANY ONE IN SCHOOL. IT WILL COME BACK ON YOU.

Yes. The National Guard also runs RTAC which is a type of PreRanger course. It has a very good selection rate for people to pass Ranger School.
