What is it like to be a 88M in the 75th Ranger Regiment?

I want to go to Ranger School, and then try to go to Ranger Bat. But, I'm curious as to how support elements are treated in a infantry environment such as the 75th?

Honestly speaking just because your infantry doesn’t mean you won’t be subject to the regiment training etc. if you want to or trying to go into the regiment best option is to go ranger bat.

You’ll be in E CO so you’ll be driving trucks, not combat trucks but like fuel and logistical and you’ll be operating heavy equipment and stuff. You’ll be sweeping the motor pool as well!

Well, have you ever driven a vehicle? Well it's like that, but you'll have a beret in your cargo pocket.

Go to Ranger battalion first, then Ranger School. You'll be a lot more likely to pass Ranger School the first time if you do it that way
