What happens if you fail the RASP? Do they usually give you another chance like recycling or they just kick you out from the RASP? I heard RASP, they dont usually kick the soldier out, they just recycled until they make it through, but I wanna make sure if that info is correct. And last question is what is the main reason why people kicked out or quit.

When you fail you'll be sent to the needs of the Army if you're an IET Soldier. As to whether you'll be granted a chance to recycle, that's on the Cadre to decide.

People quit because it's fucking hard. I've successfully passed RIP (before it became RASP), SFAS and 75th Pre-Ranger, and Ranger school. RIP was absolutely the hardest course/selection I've ever experienced. Two thirds of our class quit.

PV2 (Join to see) I was 135 pounds when I went. A lot of people are skinny in the beginning. I can't tell you if you can make it. Only you can.

MSG (Join to see) Lol only if you were a RIP Cadre in 98! If you were, I gotta say those guys were some of the hardest dudes I’ve ever seen. RIP was hands down the hardest class I ever attended and passed. Harder than Ranger School, Pre Ranger, and SFAS.

RASP doesn't change your MOS, it's a selection to join a unit. If you're an IET Soldier who just joined you will be assigned to your first unit. If you're already at a unit and attending you just return to your unit
