That makes more sense....
Isn't airborne in itself pretty hard?
Well if he wants to be airborne all he has to do is wait for a slot to open in jump school. Then he does his jump training and when he passes they give him his jump wings. It's not difficult it's just that everytime you jump (go airborne) you get a bonus refered ro as jump pay.
Ranger School is tough. Only so many are gonna pass so they train the hell out of everyone until the desired number of recruits quit. Same as sniper school. They weed out the best then flush the rest. You have to REALLY want to be a ranger in order to become a ranger. Rangers aren't quiters, so the instructorsfigure if they can't make you quit if you will tackle whatever obsticle they give you and if you will take whatever **** they give with a smile after 48-72 hours with no sleep you have what it take to be a ranger.
When they call for rangers they expect men that won't quit, men that will do whatever to achieve the objective, dying if necessary. When they call for rangers they want men who are toodetermined to fail.
Ranger school puts you through a lot. LRRPS, Delta Force and Special Forces/Green Berets all recruit most oftheir canidates from the rangers. Rangers are basically the Army'sbest of the best so Rangersare groomed for Special Forces.
Are youhoping to be an airborne medic? AKA Para-medic.
Yes I'm hoping to become and Airborne medic. I've read a little about ranger training but not too much...but it seems tough, and I heard it was. My sgt keeps telling me that too. I think as long as I have enough motivation and I am prepared by running alot/working out, it will still be tough, but not as tough as if I just sit around and do nothing until Basic.
