Being a Ranger in the National Guard

Why they're not wear helmet?

[@Fate-tv.]

This is misleading. You cannot be a Ranger in the guard. The tab does not make you a Ranger. (This is literally information you can find on the army website. You cannot be a Ranger in the national guard. At least not a real one)

💯Just qualified. They ought to have a NG Ranger Regiment. That’d be cool to see.

@@Usca1990Asis an NG regiment wouldnt work with the way rangers deploy, although there is supposed to be an 18 series natty girl unit somewhere. In that same vein though, Ive heard, but don't actually know, that the SF NG unit doesn't deploy in the same way or on the same types of missions as active duty. I personally wasn't a ranger, but I was 11b with 2nd ID and we had 2nd bat on Lewis with us.

Bruh, Guard member 37 years, one of my baddest friends in the Guard was a Ranger. It’s a play on words. Can’t get a Ranger position for training per sae but you CAN be a Ranger in the Guard. Prior Ranger spent several years with us then went back on active duty and lit it up. One of the best soldiers I ever met and retired as a CSM at Benning.

[@willthorson4543]

These guys are going for ranger tabs. If they were active duty and in a ranger battalion, they'd get a ranger scroll. Almost anyone in the Army, E-4 and above can go to ranger school if there is a slot. Doesn't make you a ranger, it just means you passed the ranger course and school. It's a leadership school. So you get engineers, gunship pilots and so on hatred the yellow and black patch. Its definitely worth hating if you are an officer in combat arms. It's a course that can help you down the road on NCOER or whatever an officer goes through.

[@windsorthompson3821]

You arr correct. Ranger training is a school that many attend. Earning a Ranger tab is an accomplishment. A Ranger scroll is a unit patch. On the left shoulder, you are just assigned to a Ranger organization. On the right shoulder, you completed a deployment in a 'combat zone'. A combat zone is a place the Army G1 has designated hostile fire pay. But when I see a Ranger tab (short tab), a Special Forces tab (long tab), EIB, EFMB, Sapper, MFF or Jump wings and other badges and tabs I see capabilities and experiences. They do not define then wearer. They inform the wearer and everyone of KSAOs that exist within the person. If you don't have one on your chest or shoulder then you do not draw from experience but you do have an impression of what you think they bring to something. If you wear them then you have earned the right to apply your experiences. Worth noting, some badges and tabs can only be earned by Soldiers in certain career fields (MOS and AOC). In any event, extend respect to any person tabbed or badged.

That’s wrong. Just about any mos can go to ranger school since it’s the army’s premier leadership school. However, it depends on the unit I’m in 1/1AD and since we’re the only armor division in the army that’s active we typically don’t see many people with ranger tabs except for senior infantry NCO’s and infantry officers. But again there are 2 types of basic infantry 11B which is your typical infantryman and 11C which is your mortar-man.

a bunch of these comments are complaining about how those with ranger tabs aren’t rangers. although technically correct, most of these commenters have never been in the army, or the infantry, or the regiment. An Army Ranger is officially someone currently assigned to a ranger unit. However, culturally and colloquially, calling ranger tabbed guys rangers has been common thing since the beginning. An example of this is the best ranger competition. those whining about rangers only being those assigned to the regiment then also have to admit that non-rangers can be the best rangers that year since the competition to be BEST RANGER requires you to have the tab, not the scroll. clearly, army culture and institutions disagree with some of these non-army keyboard warriors
