What position does a new E-5 get at the 75th Ranger Regiment?

2014-06-21T23:03:15-04:00

I'm ready to drop my rasp packet however, being a non "combat" deployed E5 11C/11B I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if I would be given a leadership position as I got to the unit or if I would be under another 5. Been in a squad leader position since I was a PFC. I'm making this a career and I need a combat deployment, without crossing opsec is the unit still deploying? I got Ranger School here on July 20 class 09-14. Just looking for some professional help as I take my next step.

You're more than likely going to fall under another E-5. But this shouldn't bother you! You will learn ALOT from another peer that has been in the regiment for a while and deployed with them. Its nothing to be ashamed of! Its not a step down! Do you already have orders to the regiment? Keep me updated man...I know a few fellers I can put you in contact with that would be great benefit!

If you are a performer, then you will be recognized as so in the regiment and be put in those positions they feel you can do well in. I can tell you, going from the 82nd to the 75th is still a steep learning curve especially for our squad leaders, platoon sergeants and young officers.

If you want a career enhancement, get there and do your best. The rest will be history and you wont be worrying about taking care of your career, because it will take care of itself!

You will normally be a team leader- particularly since you will be new and untried.

Most likely you'll start out under another experienced SGT but once you are trained up and experienced you will move into those positions as well as work on that SSG goal so you will be in even better leader positions. Good luck Brother. Rangers Lead The Way
