Sapper Versus Ranger

[@DemocratsRPedos]

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.

[@Chiefs1582]

I thought sapper school was only for engineers

[@Dj.MODÆO]

It used to be but now they opened it up to spec ops to learn demo

[@travelingspartan2035]

Was. In recent years it's been opened to every MOS like Ranger is, although I think engineers still get priority for slots.

[@landenjones9374]

​@@travelingspartan2035 yes combat engineers infantry men and sof units get priority over everyone else

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.

[@NunyaBesnas]

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.

[@ViktoriousDead]

@@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

[@jackburton5483]

@@ViktoriousDeadyes, therein lies the difference between the scroll and the tab, people get confused.

[@johnwayne1409]

I'm a ranger, a Forrest ranger, a real ranger.

Sir, you make so much more money than us enlisted. Get your tapes sewn on

[@ServantofLeaders]

It keeps me humble!

[@Fiddlefaddle115]

Can we talk about a gigantic leap forward in warfare by graduating the world's first Space Ranger?

[@Johnny-zd6vg]

Trump created space force remember?🤣😂🫡

[@sashagarcia6205]

sapper you have to be smart , ranger you have to be dense

[@raymondr.16]

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.

[@destroyer0685]

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.

[@ronnierandolph717]

I attended Sapper School when it was only for Engineers... and before there was a tab back in the late 80's

[@wakinyanredwolf6949]

Funny and I did enjoy it. Too bad Rangers don't get to play with explosives like Combat Engineers and Sappers do. But man, Rangers do talk good.

[@ViktoriousDead]

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

[@jackburton5483]

☝🏼see this kids?☝🏼 that’s what we call facts.

[@NunyaBesnas]

Anyone can go to Sapper school now? When I was in only 12 series could go.

[@oreozzz012]

I thought engineers were the only ones who were able to attend sapper school?

[@shaynebartlett7900]

Oh my god that was fantastic. Thanks for the support have been feeling shitty lately.

[@waterbornesapper7953]

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.

[@Johnny-zd6vg]

SEALs🤷🏻‍♂️

[@iwilrage]

Everyone needs a tab, everyone needs a beret, everyone needs feel special. Standards just need to be lowered

[@outlawtanker9978]

That’s fun as fuck

[@manuelsanchezdeinigo3959]

In OEF 2010-2011 RC South Kandahar RC East Ghazni Afghanistan it was The Sappers that lead the way all JSOC was behind The Sappers ⚔️🇺🇸⚔️

[@stinkymccheese8010]

Thought Sappers were just specialist.

[@cyber_crypto]

Rangers Lead the MF Way!

[@larryclevelandUSMC]

U.S. Marine retired 27 years. Ranger School graduate 6-88. Marine Drill Instructor Parris Island. Ranger School was challenging no doubt, but USMC DI school was pretty brutal.

[@alvinbonny1562]

A marine can go ranger school ? If so is he authorized to wear the TAB on his marine uniform ?

[@TehBurrito77]

As far as I've seen, A Marine can go to Ranger school with both units permission but it doesn't give them anything but skills and a Certificate. Unlike Airborne School and Diving School which would allow badges.

[@arennaz]

A “tab” on a Marine uniform??? That’s a big NEGATIVE.

[@Maniac1607]

I've heard Marines either sew it under the flap of one of their chest pockets or carry it in their wallets.

[@jessehernandez8041]

Women Army Rangers. Are standards being lowered. Or are they as tough as men?

[@RyanNelson0402]

Posting this on TIK TOK to give our chineese friends direct access to aggregated information should be a war crime at this point....

[@hellbreaksloose5536]

I can find this information on wikipedia and also the Army’s official website.

[@ServantofLeaders]

Yes. That’s where I found all the info as well to prep for this video….

[@ArtjomKoslow]

I think the Chinese are smart enough to just google Things. If you want classified military Files- War Thunder Forum.

[@paddyret7968]

China now knows anyone can attend sapper school. It's so fucking over. It's never been more over than it is now. Might as well boot up duolingo and start learning mandarin right now bucko.

I did my training at ft benning Georgia and deployed to kanahare. Got my CIB.

[@Blackout2815]

Same physical standards and check points crammed into two weeks; there was no 3 mile only 5 and a 6. Harder 12 mile. More STUDYING lmao. Also cadets could probably pass ranger school too if it didn’t fuck with the school year 💀 some are more in shape and smarter than a few officers, coming from an officer

[@nbutter2779]

N is for Ranger huh? You know that's not how English works right?

[@SentinelAntioch]

It was obviously a joke, ya ding dong.

[@whatsup4885]

That's how english works in the rangers 🗿

[@Clancy192]

Sappers are low skilled worker bee engineers. Rangers are the world's best Infantry. Sapper tab is a joke.

Did someone lose their girl to a Sapper Daddy?
