What is RRC Selection Like?

[@OG03]

I'm from Georgia and that climb up Blood Mountain is STEEP. Very cool that they're using the terrain up there for their selection.

[@kingtummy4646]

I go there every year I didn’t know they did that

As a member of C 1/75 from 78-82 I enjoy hearing young studs like Mike talk about his experiences.

"Quiet Professionals who aren't quiet".. True statement nowadays.

[@TTH247]

"Quiet" doesn't necessarily mean "silent"

[@joeswoops6684]

It doesn't mean profit off of books and podcasts either.

[@gussieclaymore]

@@defions4208 Yes, it's a good thing that I keep my trap shut about my operational background instead of spotlighting myself on KZbin....huh

[@gussieclaymore]

@@defions4208 I think that you missed my point here bud. Maintaining a low profile has given way to clicks and subscriptions for profit regardless of mottos'.

[@gussieclaymore]

@@defions4208 Yes, you're right.....Rangers always run their sucks and spotlight and aren't quiet and professional.The subject is about SOF members peddling their BS to profit, and not about what the content is generally about. Keep up with the topic...huh

[@cm-pr2ys]

Very interesting. I wonder if RRC holds different selections for the other battalions, or if it's all the same thing.

My recruiter had no information on rrc. I passed the asvab i qualified of all the intelligence mos 35l has rasp. After passing and being selected to be in 75th ranger regiment can you go straight into rrc or you need more years to be qualified

[@cameronoconnor2132]

Recruiters for the most part only know “big army” stuff, they’re going to be very limited on what the 75th does. Furthermore they probably have never heard of RRC. You’ve got a long pipeline if you haven’t gone to basic yet, but pass RASP first, get your tab, and then spend some time being a TL on the line and THEN maybe then mention going over to RRC.

[@dericdomino]

how does this compare to training of the first ranger battalion

[@_Strider1Trigger_]

3:31 gee, I wonder which one... (looks in the direction of the Breacon Beacons)

[@connera93]

Is RRC tier1 ?

[@BTL0523]

Yup

[@ag4832]

Yes.

[@TheInfantry98]

NOPE

[@johnnyultor]

@@TheInfantry98 what lmao

[@joesgotya9930]

They can fluctuate between tier 1 and tier 2 depending on what their tasking and mission is. With that said, it doesn’t take away at any point that they are one of the best ISR units in the world.

[@jg3_75]

When he was deciding between going to selection at ft. Bragg (SF) or going for RRC, I mean… go for RRC. RRC is a tier one black unit, and SF is T2.

[@TheTeamHousePodcast]

He was referring to Delta not SF.

[@inbubbawetrust1577]

@SickCall Ranger yeppers

[@MM-qt8gz]

The only reason why any 11B Ranger would go SFAS is because once you're E6 and your did time as a squad leader on the line... there's really no mobility upwards. Either go Tier 1 or go SF. It's a shame.

[@MM-qt8gz]

@SickCall Ranger I'm actually in the SF pipeline, as I'm writing this. I'm leaving and heading to RASP. I see the qualities of the guys in the Q and man, I am not impressed. Now i know why guys in group are complaining about the shitty guys SWCS is producing.

[@GG-wz3iu]

Wrong, incorrect information on tiers and what they actually mean. It's always people not in SOF who talk like they know.

[@E3742O]

All this “quiet professional” talk people bitch about. They’re not telling about stuff they can’t. This is just like lone survivor, American sniper, Rambo and platoon and shit back in the day, recruiting. Yes they make money, but the military also sees it as a way of recruitment. People listen to podcasts, if you think kids aren’t signing up thinking they’ll be like these guys you’re wrong. Recruitment has dwindled badly because it’s not as enticing anymore when you hear all the stuff that happens, but hearing guys stories does help to get young people to sign up.

No mountains in SFAS, shorter distances, much bigger classes in SFAS, less pre-screening, much easier to get into SF and through the Q vs RRD OTC.

Best recon regt is British SRR

[@MrChristoffer5700]

There is one simple reason why they're not... Money. Their budget unfortunately limits their capability

[@joesgotya9930]

LOL The UK SRR was modeled and based on the US ISA “Intelligence Support Activity” From former British Intelligence Corp Officer Micheal Smith who augmented 22 SAS in Omen and NI - *The extent of the ISAs success was perhaps most vividly shown when the UK Directorete of Special Forces decided to reverse the pretense of a shared history and follow the American lead. In 2005 it set up its own new units, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment and the 18th Signals Regiment in a fitting tribute to the ISAs success* - From his book “Killer Elite” VII introduction And no, they were not 14 Det before hand, 2 completely different animals. Lol
