What else can I do to prep for Ranger School?

The best advice I got before Ranger school was to take it one task, one objective, and one day at a time. Don't ever worry about what your next task will be but rather the task and objective that is in front of you at the moment.

I would highly recommend focusing on your weaknesses that will be brought to light during RAP Week. For myself it was Land Nav, though the course was/is self correcting foliage (the lack there of), trails, fatigue, and other variables can impact performance. So focus on RAP Week and possibly being studious with the academia that will follow RAP WEEK. RLTW!!

Looking at the graduation records, it seems the most effective way to improve your chances outside of being in the 75th or SOCOM is to attend the Ranger Training Assessment Course at the Army National Guard's Warrior Training Center at Fort Benning. Their Graduation rate rivals the 75th's. I believe that RTAC is open to all services.

Get your life at home ready to be without you for a mich longer time. When I went, their were plenty of dudes that had been their between 6-12 months...

Keep getting after it bud! Dont over train for school, injuries are not easy to recover from. The pushups 49, sit ups 59, and 5 mile under 40. These are pretty easy to accomplish yet almost 25% go home right away. Focus on good form and Do exactly what they tell you to do. The 12 mile will be pretty hot and on tired legs so make sure your cardio is where it needs to be. As far as post RAP week... just do exactly what you are told, be a team player and you will be just fine.

Get a Ranger Handbook, cause it is your new bible.

Hey brother, my company produces more ranger qualified soldiers than any company on Fort Carson. My 1SG and a lot of the junior ranger qualified NCOS run a great program. Come see me.

Ranger tab. Nov. ' 66. Be prepared physically but be prepared to be pushed to the limit mentally. In my day in the mountain phase during the week long patrol we averaged 7 hours of sleep per MAN for the entire week. In my day, NO recycle except for medical. You were allowed ONE shot and 9 weeks NOT 4 to 6 months. Charlie Beckwith was our Camp Commander. ARMY RANGER. RVN VET

Running hills at Fort Carson will help you kill the cardio....
