How well do you have to speak English to be in 75th Ranger?

I'm extremely having interest to join the rangers regiment, however, I was wondering how good do I have to speak English. I got GT score 105 exactly, but when I communicate with people, I'm still having hard time to understand what they are saying when they use expert words or with complicate sentences. Because of that, I'm already being afraid to try out the RASP. Can anybody please tell me?

If you want it badly enough you will find a way.
Best of luck.

If you want to do it then do it.

There have been plenty before you who had language issues and there will be plenty after you

You need to speak English well enough to be capable of doing your job.

From my experience at RASP, If can get the basics down I think you should be fine, at RASP they may yell at you, they may not, but if you are working hard, you should be fine. It would be no worse than Basic Training language barrier.
