Not happening. You'll have to report in to your unit first. From there, you may be sent to Ranger school as slots are available and per the determination of your fitness by your Chain of Command to attend.
No. Lieutenants cannot go straight into a ranger battalion after ranger school. They have to serve with a regular line unit before they can apply to become a ranger platoon leader.
To become an Area Ranger, you have to first finish Ranger School.
Well, do you mean simply go to Ranger school, or be in the 75th Ranger Regiment? To go into the 75th Ranger Regiment as lower enlisted, you'd have to enlist with a RIP contract. After you completed OSUT or Basic/AIT (depending on your MOS), you'd go to Jump School, then you'd attend RIP. If you pass RIP, you'd be assigned to one of the Ranger Battalions. Once you're promoted to the rank of Specialist, you can attend the Ranger School (whether you're assigned to the Ranger Regiment or not). If you complete Ranger School, you'll be tabbed and Ranger qualified. If you weren't in a Ranger Battalion prior to Ranger School, you'd then be eligible for reassignment to one.
To serve in a Ranger Battalion, you must be RA - there are no Ranger units in the Guard or Reserve. As for going to the school and not being in a Ranger Batt., the same holds true - while it may technically be possible to be sent to Ranger School from an NG or AR unit, they don't get assigned the slots, hence, it doesn't happen.
If becoming a Ranger in the Army you are required to go to Army language school. There is a few other classes that you have to go to in order to become a Ranger in the Army.
You don't get one that's mandatory. You can get one if you choose. Now im assuming you mean joining the 75th ranger regiment and being a real ranger. Just graduating ranger school doesn't make you a ranger, just ranger qualified. But yes, if you want a tattoo that is Ranger oriented, you can have it.
by promoting from ranger school.
Is it hard to become an Army Ranger? I am assuming you mean an actual Army Ranger, and not someone that went to the Army's Ranger training school to get a Ranger Tab. Yes..... Becoming a Ranger is a serious task. There are no timeouts, no seconds chances. In RIP you will be mentally and physically challenged beyond anything you have ever thought possible. If you have the "Intestinal Fortitude" to fight through all the training and testing in RIP, you will get to continue to test yourself as an actual Army Ranger. The life of an Army Ranger is much harder than RIP, so prepare yourself. It is a hard journey, but, when it is all said and done, very few have more right to be proud of themselves than Army Rangers! Rangers Lead the Way!
I was in SF in the eighties and a bunch of the guys came over from the Ranger Battalions. Also, there are a lot of Infantry units throughout the Army that send some of their people to Ranger School.
Hawk Mountain Ranger School was created in 1956.
If you're in shape and up to the challenge, no, it's not. I've known people in their mid-30s who've attended and completed the Ranger school.
The best way to become an army ranger is simple to expalin 1. For enlisted people: go to your recruiter and ask him about the Army Ranger contract, if your already in, do airborne school, ranger school to earn your tab, then apply for Ranger assessment and selecton process (RASP) 2 for officers: same thing as enlisted exept go to college and do rotc.
