Joined the army at 16 and went to fort lost in the woods in 83, didn’t even know what a sapper was. Got assigned as a sapper to the 81st infantry division, part of the engineer regiment. 718th combat engineer/eod/sapper company. Spent two yrs in as a sapper and they wouldn’t let me reenlist, so I was out and a veteran at 18. Called the different branches, no one else wanted me. Called the coast guard, and spent 8 yrs as a chef in the coast guard. Volunteered for quick deployment units and I went to the navy dive school. So, I can honestly say, I was an underwater sapper that could cook. I think I’ll invent my whole special unit. Coast guard, under water, special deployment, cook squad. When ppl are hungry, nothing can stop us from getting there and save the world from hunger. I’ll vote for that.

SF tab is a unit, not a school, Ranger tab is a school not a unit. To be an ACTUAL Ranger that is a special operation unit, you have to pass RASP and then get assigned to the 75th Ranger regiment, that’s part of USSOCOM, and falls under JSOC when deployed. Ranger school is nothing more than a leadership school that ANYONE in the military can attend. It doesn’t make you a Ranger. 75th Ranger regiment, Special forces, and 160ty SOAR are all Tier 2 special operations units in the army. Equivalent to SEAL teams and MARSOC.

Yes and no. You still have to go to q course before making it to that unit and it takes anywhere from 12-18 months where RASP is 8 weeks and I think Green Platoon is even shorter. You also get to keep it if you move on to any other unit. So unlike the airborne tab it is separate from your unit. You could also be a part of Special Forces and not have a tab if you are in a support unit. You could also be a part of SOF-D, Delta force, or whatever they are calling themselves today and be an operator and not have a Special Forces tab. Special forces tab is a pretty unique.

@@NunyaBesnas regardless, one gets you into a unit, the other does not. If you have a long tab you’ve served in an ODA at some point, having a Ranger tab doesn’t make you part of the ACTUAL Ranger unit that is the 75th. Group support is not SF and obviously doesn’t have the tab, I was part of the 75th and worked extensively with SF

Fun fact. All Sapper School Instructors have to be BOTH Sapper AND Ranger qualified. So….not too sure which is “ harder” but Sapper school is accelerated and more specialized so maybe would push more towards “harder” in the need more intelligence factor. Only 11 of the original 50 in my class actually completed.
@destroyer0685Ай бұрын
But remember this ladies and gentlemen: tabs of any sort dont pull PMCS, the tab doesn't qualify on your assigned weapon, a tab doesnt do range cards or stand inspections, dont write OPORDs, call for fire, feed and fuel you, fill out leave forms or write letters to family members. Soldiers do that.

@ViktoriousDead3 ай бұрын
First off Ranger school doesn’t make you a Ranger, RASP does, Second off 75th rangers have more master breachers than any other unit in the military, and we handle explosives and build demo basically monthly if not more. Your average team leader Ranger would be better at building a door or wall charge than any big army engineer

When watching this video, one should note that this is an officer talking about which school is harder. And he's ONLY tabbed as a Ranger. Maybe he failed Sapper school because it was too hard? 🤷🏾♂️ No se. Pero he is definitely biased. But it's cool. Haters are gonna hate. Its what they do. Sappers lead the way.
