<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ranger school is an advanced total soldiering leadership school. It will do nothing for your MOS skills. If you go RASP you will open up your MOS to the W1 course which is Paramedic equivalent and thus enhances your combat medic skill and ultimately translates to a solid transition to civilian paramedic and career ladder climbs. Go for the Tan Beret.SGT(P) Private RallyPoint MemberTue, 24 Sep 2019 21:02:16 -04002019-09-24T21:02:16-04:00Response by SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 24 at 2019 9:02 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Do whichever one you can accomplish first. If you pull a dozen NCOs from regiment and ask which one you should do first, half will say one way, half will say the other. It comes down to which route works best for you in your circumstances.<br /> There are a few things to consider for planning. If your unit sends you to Ranger school, you will be stabilized for a year afterwards. You will be promoted automatically to Sergeant without BLC once you are eligible. once you are eligible. Once you go to rasp oh, you still have to attend socm. That's 6 months long and during that time you won't be able to attend any ncoes. You'll need to complete that and most likely spend some time at the unit before they will send you to Ranger school.SFC Private RallyPoint MemberTue, 24 Sep 2019 21:10:45 -04002019-09-24T21:10:45-04:00Response by SSG Rick Robbins made Sep 25 at 2019 1:29 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Go for RASP, that would move you forward. The worse thing you can do in the military or civilian life is not to keep moving. Use the “dead fish float down stream” analogy, Keep moving!!SSG Rick RobbinsWed, 25 Sep 2019 01:29:47 -04002019-09-25T01:29:47-04:00Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 25 at 2019 12:58 PM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would say RASP it would give you a taste of what to expect in ranger school Plus after RASP you would have more opportunities.SGT Private RallyPoint MemberThu, 26 Sep 2019 15:49:29 -04002019-09-26T15:49:29-04:00Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 5 at 2019 9:50 PM
