Ranger School: 4 Minute Breakfast Challenge

At the U.S. Army's Ranger School, you'll get somewhere around 4-minutes to eat breakfast chow at the chow hall during Mountain Phase. Its a lot a food, and not a lot of time. So, it would be a benefit to see how its done. Hope this demonstration isn't only entertaining for you, but serves as a good lesson to prepare you even further for success.

I was laughing so hard during this video. Been out of the military since 2007, but still inhale my food. I feel bad everytime we eat out. My food is gone before my wife is finished seasoning her food. 😅👍

[@GrittySoldier]

Dude tell me about it 🤦‍♂️

[@andrewguzman1734]

@@GrittySoldier Is it that hard to let go of that life? Retired 11A

[@andrewguzman1734]

You guys are dramatic.

[@temujin0911]

the awkward part is waiting for everyone else to finish...

[@ricardosegarrairizarry8396]

Same here! I had to go to some treatment and bariatric surgery to learn how to eat slow. I got out in 2010 and I started to put weight pretty fast eating this way.

[@jeremyaucoin6368]

Brought back some memories! Alejandro Villanueva was in my class. Poor guy was 6’10” and 300+ pounds and was getting the same calories as dudes half his size. He’s in the back row of the grad photo and it looks like he’s standing on a milk crate. I gained about 10 pounds before school and came out about 25 pounds lighter.

[@GrittySoldier]

😂

Rumor has it that when Gritty goes out for breakfast his waitress just brings the check instead of a coffee refill lol. Cheers and happy Labor Day sir!

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

I like this guy so far. I get suggestion videos from different random ranger guys an quiet a few seem to have the"" suck up, I'm better than you"" vibe. This guy seems like a genuine dude.

[@GrittySoldier]

Is am just a dude 😉

[@donaldhenderson429]

Went through Army basic training in 1968 and remember being rushed through the chow hall and to this day I still eat fast .

[@TAVAAR7]

Even before you went over your method thats almost exactly the way I'd approach it for time. If the cereal comes in a little bag than crushing it up makes it soak and go down easier, I do that with little chip bags too lol

[@tylerdixon3290]

Whats funny is I did a version of this just this morning and all of a sudden your video pops up. Definitely gave me some good tips on how to put down a meal especially since I have a hard time eating in the mornings.

[@dusty265]

Great content as always, in the spirt of full disclosure I attended a shortened version of the South Korean ranger school, It was going to be fun the said, imagine doing this with Korean food! there were NO calorie items in a Korean mess hall! but it was good although be it dangerous training and you got a 4 day pass when you got back! that and a ROK Ranger badge that could only be worn in country! I understand in the very late 80's they stopped sending American soldiers there due to the injury rate!

[@dilloncoop2500]

Definetly not just entertainment even though it was really entertaining! I'm a smaller guy that needs to learn how to eat more, this kind of stuff is really motivating and inspiring for me.

[@rwjblue]

Thanks!

[@Cuff_Daddy]

These food challenges are just great and hilarious entertainment. Keep up this awesome channel!!

[@hankrichardson9057]

Man that was a mental recall for me as well, I joined the army in 1999- 2003, and went to ft. Knox KY. As a 19 delta cav scout and it was o.s.u.t training 16 weeks long and the drill sergeants would give us maybe three four minutes to eat at the beginning it seemed less ,so you damn sure had to cram and jam if wanted to get full, it sucked but I made it it was a tough m.o.s. but I really enjoyed it. scouts out.

[@cassidybooth8518]

Any advice for someone who wants to be Calvary scout?

[@smokeylovesfire1589]

As a type 2 diabetic that was amazing to watch. I figured when you went to an event in the woods there I would have been protein included. Maybe some in the peanut butter. . I truly bad no idea!. Thx for your service

[@stephenreid6099]

Mountain phase breakfast was everything!!!

[@markmacyeaple214]

That's how it's done maggots! Don't chew you swallow that food! Love your content! Keep em coming!

[@robertprice9052]

I remember them from 1982. They were good. My attack plan was always eat the protein first. We had beacon or sausage. I ate eggs and beacon first, then pancakes. Dip them in the syrup. Then potatoes and gravy. I choked the milk down on the way out of the door. The best hot meal was at the end of Desert phase (no longer part of the school). Ranger buddy and I got recycled at the end of desert phase. We were sent to throw trash away while waiting to load the AC for Florida. At the dumpster there was an opened Honey Bun with one bite out of it. We pocketed it and got caught during JMPI. It was either out or recycle - the bonus was we got to sneak into the mess hall for food. I think we had two or three days before the next class jumped in, so we got to load the hump!

[@randalldemichel4818]

Thanks Bro! Just what I needed - a tactical response plan to down the Ranger breakfast! Hoooa!

Never got to fulfill my option 40 contract due to a chronic kidney disease but man I remember even in basic just grabbing anything that I could add to my plate… salad, v8 juice, peas and carrots, bread lol and just slamming it all down fast. I also remember eating dried cranberries and them being better than any candy I had ever eaten. What a time.

Thanks for the video, just subbed will keepautoliking anything.

[@doom4067]

It might be so that the instructors have more time to eat and talk. That's what they did at basic back in 2002. We'd have 60 seconds to eat, and then we'd stand in formation waiting for the drill sergeants to eat.

[@victormihail421]

Well, this is a great tutorial for how to eat. Willing to go to Ranger School after I am done with the basic training. RLTW! Semper P!

Its weird, when you do shit like this you have an amazing run afterward. We did the Supertroopers syrup chug and went on a long slow run. It was one of the best runs ever.

[@zwotonner6071]

That was great fun :D. I love watching your content from overseas. I was a conscript almost 20 yrs ago and it totally ruined my eating habits for lifetime. I feel you here. However, I do have serious question on nutrition: Does it make more sense to gain or to lose weight prior to physically demanding military course or school? So should one put on some reserves or rather already get used to the upcoming hardships? Cheers.

[@emmalab02]

Brought back memories from BCT pre-9/11.

[@AWWWMAN80]

Ranger is the best thing I’ve ever done. I wasn’t mad at the weight loss tho. 😂

[@irakennington9701]

I seem to remember there being packs of butter. You put butter on everything as it's quite calorie dense. Other than that, spot on.

[@GGHarvey]

I genuinely thought this is how everyone in the military ate on a daily basis when I joined.

[@HeyMikeyLikesIt2]

Mountain Phase! Thee hardest phase, to me. If I would have recycled mountains, I would have quit. Lucky, my squad jumped into our mission without Cadre. The rest of the jump was scrubbed due to high winds. Once we got half our squad out of the trees, we moved out and made our link up on time. Cadre, said….. No one was there to see your movement, you made your linkup on time. You’re a Go! Do not slack off or I’ll give you a No Go. The motivation of knowing I got a Go kept me driving on. You can only eat this much before going into patrols. Once you’re back in the Barracks, your stomach is closed off to big meals. There is no way to put half of this food down. I was in the latrine, crying because the food was backed up into my throat. And then you get your care package food. I was crying on the bus ride to Florida phase while I was eating chips ahoy cookies dipped in Gobber grape pb&j.

I could not stop laughing my friend, it so reminded me of my time in the Military… ate the same way and I can’t believe how much horse meat I ate.

[@markcollins2666]

Confession of a messhall chow Nazi: (Which is NOT anti Semitic by any means.) In 1990, the Army was going through an overhaul, where it was decreed that OJT qualified Infantry, certain Special Ops support personell, notably 160'th Aviation Brigade Nightstalkers crew chiefs and door gunners, medics, had to attend 11B AIT. And this was a cycle of brains, class, and talent, like I have never seen. There was even a Senior Brother Rat from VMI! Anyway, as an E-6, I was dragooned into being a "barker" That's what it's really called. At Benning, it was really needed, because they had to pass through 1800 people in 90 minutes. I didn't hold to the 4 minute rule, but if there was a table where soldiers were conversing, "Up. Out. Now!!! You're done, get the fuck out! And I didn't care if they had just sat down. I have to work 90 minutes at every meal, and eat last? No fucks given. 4 minute rule?!? You should see Navy Seal BUD/S training, where they go through the chow line,, and are given enough time to eat whatever they got, in the time it takes them o shuffle to the KP's dishwashing hatch,, and exit. Every. Fucking. Time.

Holy cow that was awesome, and the donut. wow. i would have choked to death. lol. love the orange thing too. now if i ever get to prison i know what to do. don't they eat fast? lol

That table looks like my tray did at OSUT, except the cereal was in mini boxes, and the milk was in cartons. One day in the chow hall a DS observed my mountain of food on my tray and said “PRIVATE, WHY DO YOU EAT SO MUCH DAMN FOOD?!!!” I sounded off and replied “IT KEEPS MY PT UP DRILL SERGEANT!!!”

[@GrittySoldier]

😂

[@kitcarsonventures2913]

Luckily, for me, the DS didn’t take issue to my response.
