One of my main Darby memories is how everyone was a bit sick, with coughing and sneezing on patrol that would have been fatal in the real thing.

Class 11-74 During the Mountain Phase, I was a squad leader. One morning for inspection, a Ranger in my squad had clipped his flashlight to his rucksack strap, instead of clipping it to his webgear strap -- a silly little error. Ranger Instructors swarmed the guy, then swarmed ME. I had to report for counseling by our TAC Sergeant -- you'd think I had committed a felony. The TAC Sergeant's scolding to me was sparkling clear: ATTENTION TO DETAIL.... and SUPERVISE!

I don't agree when you say that " Anyone can be a leader" Your statement undermines the basic princple of leadership selection that an individual has some trainable qualities and some no-trainable qualities. While the qualities like collaboration & decision making can be trained, the core leadership qualities like courage, unselfishness & integrity can not be trained . Either you have them or you don't. So the armies world over look for these nontrainable qualities in their officer selection procedure. The trailer qualities can be imparted during the training.

I graduated ranger school and went to battalion 1/75th Hunter airfield Ga. in 1984. Went on to the Gulf war and made 1st sgt before I left the military. I remember one of our runnings songs in the 1/75th was called Napalm sticks to kids....I dont think they can sing that today. The first day I was at pre ranger that night they threw a tear gas grenade in the barracks at 3am....if you ran outside without your weapon you got dogged. The worst was a group of alaskan guys... they passed out on every run...it was july in Georgia........lol.

Hey Austin, love your videos documenting your experience becoming a Ranger. Im scheduled to ship out to basic later this summer. Later next year i will make my way to RASP. Just had 1 question, How much time did you have to wait until you made your second attempt at doing RASP?
@AustinCaroe3 ай бұрын
RASP is the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program for the 75th Ranger Regiment. I never applied for 75th and I’ve never been to RASP. RAP week is the Ranger Assessment Phase of the US Army’s Ranger School which is unrelated to the 75th Ranger Regiment. But to answer your question, after I failed RAP week the first time, I started again with the next class. So there was about a 3-4 week gap, if memory serves. If you fail RASP, however, you may not be invited back. It depends on what you failed at RASP. Many a new Soldier has gone to RASP, failed, and then ends up in the 82nd or 101st, or another unit, for a few years before going back. Do not quit. Do not fail. Go prepared. Go confident. Follow instructions and encourage your buddies. Everyday will be a battle in your head. You need to win that battle every day.
@PetruMarianVeres4 ай бұрын
Dear Cpt You have a very relevant view of warfare doctrine. However, acomplishing a healthy mission command system within an army unit is inherrently difficult. It takes time, resources and competence (a lot of competence), things that you seldom have in actual war and that system, in actual warfare is at best temporary. Leaders, commanders and soldiers die and get replaced with other people that disrupt systems regardless of their vision. Good in theory, difficult in reality. Especially in europe, where you have to generate and operationalise an army corps in 3 to 5 months. Cheers

I don't think you should write off complexity. I agree it shouldn't be an excuse but it must be considered alongside fundamentals and principles. Complexity exists relative to the time period it is being experienced.

Class 4-80. No one knew what Rangers were back then. Remember chanting the "Airborne Ranger" cadence during basic. Asked my buddy what a Ranger was. He didn't know either. 22 of us graduated from the original 150+ starting. I made it through by the grace of God. Asked each day for God to get me through that day. Couldn't do anything about yesterday. Did not have the strength to worry about tomorrow. Quitting was not an option. 45 yrs later it is still one of my best accomplishments in a life filled with accomplishments, where it is good to be me! Blown away about the information out there now for any that want to knowledge up before attending the "Suckfest" called Ranger School. Thank you for this!
