Ranger School Florida Phase

[@linkin622]

25 years later and still remember how much Florida phase sucked lol....all the pain went away when my wife pinned on my tab................ate 9 hotdogs, threw up , ate 4 more...good times , good luck to all who go..."Rangers Lead The Way"

[@USBP464]

Bro, I couldn't gree more. I recycled Florida Phase (finished Class 15-89) and it was the worst shit I've ever been through on my life....ever!

[@tonydawg]

Just took RPA at my unit today hopefully I get slotted soon

[@mikeyob4271]

Thank you for your service. What no beers ? Chaffing,hot spots.

[@mikeyob4271]

Thank you for your service.

[@Swxt-]

Im going in a few months

[@FLJuJitsu]

Water logged ruck, it's making my back hurt just watching this.

[@tokillthedragon]

Look at LTC Larry Perino! He was the platoon leader for 1st platoon, Bravo Company, 3d Ranger Battalion in Mogadishu. He was in charge of first chalk of Rangers during Black Hawk Down!

[@SaundersE5]

Ranger Class 10-82 , Florida phase sucked big time , summer Ranger, no sleep, my feet were shredded. Survived, got tab, no more crap details when I got back to Savannah. Worth it.

[@koskinas97]

Do they train soldiers from other countries too?

[@NoobSoldier2006]

does the army pay for your medical bill if you are bitten by alligator at 2:10 ???

[@nico-v113]

NoobSoldier2006 yes it does

[@GrittySoldier]

For those of you watching because you want to go. YOU CAN DO THIS. But you need to show up prepared and with the right mindset. Ranger School is a marathon, not a sprint. And it will take real GRIT in order to get your Tab. 👍

[@walkaway6353]

AND most important, the "never give up, never quit attitude".

[@camnewton1hunnitdabonemsam980]

People are scared of Alligators, Alligators are scared of Rangers!

[@Glennw79]

15 miles down the road beautiful women are running around on the beach. Worse phase to endure but I love the base.

[@Oldag75]

Florida sucked a mop, but the flat terrain was highly preferable to that of the Mountains. The sleep deprivation really took its toll. A patrol would be filing forward over the dunes in the middle of the night, and would pause -- and you'd hear a crash as some guy fell asleep standing up during the pause, and slammed into the ground. There'd be a sort of low murmur of laughter around... but the problem was, any of us were destined to be the next falling-down guy. 11-74.

[@Joker11297]

Forget the Gators, i was scared of the Water moccasins!!!

[@mickymcfarts5792]

brown recluse

[@andrewmorales6119]

Haha right !!

[@mike247worldwide]

Went through in ‘72. Toughest thing I ever did. All I remember is it was always nighttime. I know shit happened during daylight. But I only remember night. And water. But Rangers Lead The Way!

[@yungstacxs6368]

Theres no greater glory than becoming a US Army Ranger

[@williamshiver3480]

The finest light infantry on the planet

[@ArmyBratSailor]

To me, this is the equivilent of our SEAL's. I'm glad the Rangers do this as it gives them the training they may need whenever the cause calls. I couldn't go SEAL as I was in a critical rating/mo, though I'm happy to see that we are teaching our young men and women now, the specific skills to succeed in any given mission!........If I were within the age limit after my nine years, I'ld go back in! In a heartbeat! My advice to you young men and women,...Stay with it and ride it to the end! Make a career! Retire! Just my two bits! God Speed and God Bless to whomever reads my post.

[@Alexisthewolfy]

actualy seals and rangers conduct two different types of ops

[@wvufb77]

Women do not receive this training

[@driskoll2658]

wvufb77 The United States Army is currently putting a group of women through Ranger School, to see if they can pass.

[@Alexisthewolfy]

well.... now they do.

[@Alexisthewolfy]

It was only recently that women could be rangers.

[@1969darr]

A Tab and Scroll are two different animals. Hell half my Inf Batt were ABN and RNG qualified never got called up for Just Cause Scrolled got drafted into IRF B.Co. lead by the hectic 82nd though want to be's

[@Atony94]

In Camp Rudder, Ranger eats alligator

[@mrdcbsr1]

[@tannama5986]

I am from Indonesian ,iam former special police in indonesian Brimob,i Verry interest to your training in the field or mountain , because similar with my training is a spesial police Indonesian ,bravo ranger my friends all too ,

[@romeogamit7155]

Class 9-98 Steve Erwin gave the safety class on Florida wildlife. Pretty cool, rip.

[@harrisonford9607]

that is awesome as hell

[@johnrodriguez3870]

To the Marine, Soldier, Sailor or Airman that earns the RANGER Short Tab, You have much Respect from This Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran.

[@SavageJPxx]

@NoobSoldier2006 No gator in it's right mind is going to come close to a Ranger ;)

[@mikeyob4271]

Thank you for your service. Congratulations Men ! 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@thorCast]

this isnt for the army rangers, this is ranger school, open to anyone in the army

[@garycole520]

True, “ real Rangers “ also covet the Tab like anyone else in the Army.

[@pranav5635]

anyone in the military*. sailors, marines and airmen can attend to

[@masterofthenothing]

I know they said if you leave the wildlife alone, they'll leave you alone, but isnt there a risk of getting bitten or eaten by a gator when youre crossing that river?

[@distortionwarrior]

You will get medical attention, but you will likely be removed from the program for not following orders (don't interact with the wildlife) or at least you will be dropped until you get off of medical hold. You and the leadership will likely be investigated and may be punished for the losses, depending on who is found at fault. Also, this is an honorable course to go to, so you don't want to draw negative attention to yourself like that.

[@alexanderstockel6497]

Cpt Myer now LTC was my Battalion Comander in Alaska to date this video 😆

[@jjjflott]

I still remember the Ranger behind me loosing three M-16 's while crossing the river on a rope .....we never found 'em.

[@TheBetito123]

What? Oh god, he got destroyed afterwards right?

[@pfdrtom]

No one has a true tab unless they went through a desert phase!!!

[@Joker11297]

I hated the damn water moccasins! I was terrified of them

[@RIEKSONE]

alligator is no match for a ranger

[@bpagliai55]

Can a JAG officer go through Ranger school?

[@danielj5650]

anyone can regardless of branch or MOS

[@americanoutdoorsman_1133]

Been there done that back in 98!!! Rangers Lead The Way!!!

[@Tip345]

My Grandfather Harold Clutts was a drill instructor in the Florida Phase.... He's a BadA** still and probably could kick my 25 year old but no question

[@PacemakerandButtons]

13-87

[@tommybeasley3791]

wrong the question is, how do you like your gator? in the navy we all ways got asked about sharks.do you see them, what if your attacked ? answer is if we saw one we thought we where bad enough to take it out. and a weapon will fire and kill at point blank range under water. hoo-yah,USA.

[@xNutted]

God bless the US Army ! 11B Op 40 leaving october 29. Giving ranger school my all!!

[@jakeyawesomeoo2603]

Option 40 is rasp (ranger selection) , way harder, 25n option 40 I leave June 22

[@PurpleL4bel]

i prefer paintball .. where i can respwan ...

[@TheSpecialone1954]

Class 10-83 RLTW

[@goofoffproductions]

@SideWays8Productions Yeah but with the world going the way it is a MEU might be the closest thing we have to the battlespace. Yes most branches can conduct an offensive operation, but because of the Marines close relationship with the Navy they are wherever there is a Carrier Battle Group and they arrive with a large amount of air power to back them up. So they might be our first in to be reinforced with what ever units we can mobilize quickly.

[@johnferguson4665]

It seems rigorous, but 8 weeks? More like specialized paratroopers. I just don't see the comparison to Navy seal,swccs or Marsoc.Still a very hard school.

[@GhillieGhostAirsoft]

Rangers Lead The Way to the hot dog stand

[@blackeroni]

Supposedly alot of people have been struck by lightning during the florida phase

[@gmcgmc-xg6hh]

January 1945 WWII, Under the cover of darkness.. 6th United States Army Ranger Battalion and Alamo Scouts fr the 6th U.S Army Reconaissance and some Filipino guerillas. Liberated more than 500 POW camp in the philippines. After surrenders of ten thousands american troops during the batlle of bataan.. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY..

[@tommypwood672]

No offense bra...I couldn't do most of it..but I was stationed at Homestead 79 to 83..air force F4 crew chief..we did the peace river in canoe..Orlando to the gulf gators and moccasins on all sides that would be the mother of all training. Hot..tents..canoes yea mini course

[@artrocks6565656565]

Rangers lead the way!!!! OOAH!!!!

[@kaybevang536]

That’s why Florida Men will play a key role If Ww3 happens because we will never know what Florida men would bring to combat 😂

[@ryanroosterr]

is ranger selection before or after ranger school?

[@Joker11297]

Before Ranger School.

[@showsy8216]

3:15. SFC davis! Echo company 233 medical battalion!

[@roncav53]

Was there in 1969, it was called Aux. Field # 7 now Camp Rudder.

[@SnowyHakone]

WHAT

[@ssgn6]

509th airborne we did it every day C/509TH pathfinder

[@goofoffproductions]

@SideWays8Productions Why assault a beach? Because Airborne are shit out of luck if they don't get resupplied. Remember Arnhem? How about Normandy? Guess we wasted all those troops on the beaches when we could have just had all our forces jump over the defenses. If the Airborne jump into an area they need to be resupplied at some point. And the only way to resupply them suficiently is by land. Oh and they have no heavy weapons.

[@hawaabdi5079]

Can you go direct to ranger school from high school

[@scouttroop291]

if water too your arm pits time put that pack in a trash bag let it float all gear should be in a liner at the start you know this

[@goofoffproductions]

@SideWays8Productions Air dropping tanks isn't economical and besides the largest amphibious operation in human history was conducted by US Soldiers and not Marines.

[@joshuamccormack6725]

looks fun

[@jjjflott]

Everyday .

[@killerhippo10]

..what?

[@eeasycompany101st]

yes

[@greysonhackett911]

Watch out for Florida man!

[@WILKINSTV]

I don't think i would have a problem in Florida considering i live here.

[@TheMillionairesMentalist]

What are the red and yellow attachments on the ends of the weapons?

[@blankdeezy7352]

I forget what they're called but they screw into the barrel of the weapon to prevent you from shooting anyone

[@comedyspot2168]

Daniel Chan BFA’s they’re to stop a live round from being fired and to keep air pressure in the chamber of the weapon to shoot blank rounds. If the BFA is loose on a weapon it has a higher probability of jamming if the BFA is tight it will fire realistically without the actual projectile being shot

[@kaiuluitova6369]

Its for protection from firing blank rounds Protection for your mates Ppl can get hurt from blank rounds

[@jabber1990]

BFA's

[@bilsy28]

How do they decide who gets what gun? 2:24 Or is it the one the student is qualified to use

[@thegreycat9109]

[@Johnny53big]

[@williemetoyer1]

[@222Bodylotion222]

Do they have free between this three phases?

[@vauxvids]

[@Johnny53big]

öööh vagy Totn??

[@VastGameMaster]

Let them have their moments.

[@thefivefamilies1]

@rwpanfil not really anybody can be a marine not every soldier can be a ranger just ask my cuz in who is a force recon marine who failed Ranger school

[@feinferno]

Gators are not naturally aggressive. Now yes if you do get t close a gator will strt to hiss and snap butthey dont really bite people. i live on raibow springs and i swim down it everyday once i swam above a 12 footer i didnt mess with it and it just kept going..But i wouldnt advise anyone to do it because i learned abotu these animal so when i go into the army ill no how to handle them in i encounter them

[@SurvivalSkillz1]

good thing I live in Florida and used to 100+ heat

[@mickymcfarts5792]

humid?

[@SideWays8Productions]

@goofoffproductions I know that. Which is what I'm kinda saying. The Marines are slowly losing their resourcefulness, now that almost any branch can land their forces in multiple ways.

[@SideWays8Productions]

@goofoffproductions Lol, airborne can drop tanks, vehicles, supplies, everything. I've seen it done before. Of course there will always need to be beach landings. But thats never the "tip of the spear" assault. like you said, it's just to resupply and reinforce.

[@TheGnarkill9095]

is this a joke? I can't see a gator for the life of me!

[@cassiespencer6134]

'RASP' IS Ranger School. It used to be called RIP. After you graduate from Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) you go to Airborne School for 3 weeks, then you go to RASP which is 8 weeks. Some guys go to Airborne School after RASP though.

[@YellowAlien04]

No it's not. RASP gets you into the 75th Ranger Regiment. Ranger School gets you the Ranger Tab.
