I’ve never heard anybody say this. the general consensus used to be the opposite: plenty of dumb undisciplined probates could make it through RASP I, but you weren’t really a Ranger until you made it through RS. That being said, they do let women into Ranger School now.

maybe things have changed a bit? maybe i've always had a different (possibly incorrect) view based on the people i've known? (actual rangers vs RS grads)
i think every army officer (and some marine officers) i've ever met has gone to ranger school, and i've never heard rangers talk about how difficult ranger school was.

Ranger School has always been the major determinant for NCOs and officers. ROP/RASP II has been something of a gentleman’s course, and every officer and NCO has to go through RASP II again every time they get promoted.
Regiment is filled with privates who have passed RASP I, but they can’t get promoted into an actual leadership role until they pass RS (I think they max out at E-4).
Everyone who passed RASP I but not RS will tell you RASP is the real guy check. Everyone who has passed RS but didn’t got to regiment will tell you RS is the more meaningful challenge.

For what it’s worth, as far as I know, there have been no deaths in RASP, whereas there have been at least 8 training deaths in Ranger School. I knew a guy in my company who lost three fingers and part of his hand in RS.

Fuck yeah. Don't know why people don't do this more often. If you're unhappy in your white collar job, go get paid to shoot, stay jacked, and jump out of planes

I'm about this guy's age now and still in very good shape. I have cold sweats just thinking about going through Ranger School again at my age, doubt I would make it through Benning phase.
