What Does It Mean to Be a Ranger? | SOFREP

Upon graduation from RASP, you are endowed with a “scroll” and you are a Ranger. Period. If you didn’t deploy, if you were kicked out, if you were dishonorably discharged, and if you didn’t get your Ranger Tab, you are still a Ranger because at one point you were endowed with the responsibility of being one, practically speaking. You were trained as one and held to that standard every day as a part of your job, beyond some school that inevitably ends. The military sees you as one and your scrolled brethren see you like one, no matter how much they do or don’t like you.
