Being a Ranger in the National Guard
All Army National Guard Ranger candidates must complete the Ranger Training Assessment Course. To succeed in RTAC, you must be physically fit, mentally tough, self-motivated and willing to push yourself. Do you have what it takes to be Ranger-qualified?

EIB, Mountain Warfare, and GAFB (German Proficiency Badge) and Air Assault were the only schools available. 300 PT. Expert qual, and good NCOER. Only 1 Ranger spot in the whole Brigade and it was for the best warrior winner. If they actually offered schools to squared away soldiers I would still be in. Have to reward your soldiers.

These guys are going for ranger tabs. If they were active duty and in a ranger battalion, they'd get a ranger scroll. Almost anyone in the Army, E-4 and above can go to ranger school if there is a slot. Doesn't make you a ranger, it just means you passed the ranger course and school. It's a leadership school. So you get engineers, gunship pilots and so on hatred the yellow and black patch. Its definitely worth hating if you are an officer in combat arms. It's a course that can help you down the road on NCOER or whatever an officer goes through.

You arr correct. Ranger training is a school that many attend. Earning a Ranger tab is an accomplishment. A Ranger scroll is a unit patch. On the left shoulder, you are just assigned to a Ranger organization. On the right shoulder, you completed a deployment in a 'combat zone'. A combat zone is a place the Army G1 has designated hostile fire pay. But when I see a Ranger tab (short tab), a Special Forces tab (long tab), EIB, EFMB, Sapper, MFF or Jump wings and other badges and tabs I see capabilities and experiences. They do not define then wearer. They inform the wearer and everyone of KSAOs that exist within the person. If you don't have one on your chest or shoulder then you do not draw from experience but you do have an impression of what you think they bring to something. If you wear them then you have earned the right to apply your experiences. Worth noting, some badges and tabs can only be earned by Soldiers in certain career fields (MOS and AOC). In any event, extend respect to any person tabbed or badged.

But again there are 2 types of basic infantry 11B which is your typical infantryman and 11C which is your mortar-man.

I was in the Infantry from 79-82 in West Germany and almost every Infantry Officer had a Ranger Tab, but few if any ever served with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Any enlisted Infantryman with a Ranger Tab for the most part came from the 75th Regiment and they were far and few between. Still the Ranger Tab is a very coveted Tab in the Infantry.

Ranger School =/= Army Ranger
a bunch of these comments are complaining about how those with ranger tabs aren’t rangers. although technically correct, most of these commenters have never been in the army, or the infantry, or the regiment. An Army Ranger is officially someone currently assigned to a ranger unit. However, culturally and colloquially, calling ranger tabbed guys rangers has been common thing since the beginning. An example of this is the best ranger competition. those whining about rangers only being those assigned to the regiment then also have to admit that non-rangers can be the best rangers that year since the competition to be BEST RANGER requires you to have the tab, not the scroll. clearly, army culture and institutions disagree with some of these non-army keyboard warriors
