Hi, I am in a unique situation where I am enlisted as an 11B while doing ROTC (not contracted yet). There is an opportunity to get selected for Ranger school after Infantry AIT. However in ROTC, I am looking to commission as an Infantry officer (meaning I'll most likely get sent to Ranger School). If I am to get selected and go during AIT, would I have to go through Ranger School again as an officer?

No. You would already possess the tab. Ranger school is a leadership school not an officer's course.

No, once you complete Ranger school it applies when you make the transition. The Ranger tab is a permanent award that can only be revoked for misconduct.

You can try for selection at AIT I’m sure the Ranger Recruiting Staff are always hovering...but I don’t see why you’d be a good selectee for Ranger school out of AIT due to the fact that it’s a leadership school focused on training that is then implemented across the Infantry Corps. As a private (ROTC Cadet..non contract) the Army’s need doesn’t usually incorporate Ranger Qualified Privates (okay a few from the Battalion..) normally E4Ps and above are the target attendees. I tab out as a Corporal so lower NCOs and someSPC are usually the start point...hope the information was helpful,also call the 75th Infantry Regimental HQ ask for the Recruitment-Retention NCO and they can help you with more accurate information, better that your recruiting station NCO.
