He will go through the RAP program, if that is what it is still called...ranger assessment program. Lasted 3 weeks when I was in it in the mid - 90s.
His mountain experience will be the biggest plus because most recycles are in the mountain phase, as it was with me twice ;(.
If he can get an airborne slot before Ranger school, that would benefit also.
Tell him 62 days of mind games, 1 MRE and constantly thrown into the lead decision maker on patrol. His fellow ranger-candidates will rate him, so keeping your mouth shut and completing the mission are a must. Most of it is mind over body, and mind over stomach, and mind over sleep. Tobassco sauce under the eyelids keeps you from getting stuck by the cadre ;)
Good luck!
It kind of blows my mind the change in him since he went into the military. He was like a miserable caged animal before, was not enthusiastic about attending college, had no idea what he wanted to do. He joined the Army Infantry and blossomed. His squad leader, a SSGT. went on r and r and the NCO’s selected him to be acting squad leader, so that is what he is doing right now. Sometimes some guys get to go the the FOB, where there is internet access, he won’t leave the COP, doesn’t want to leave his men, lol.
I am a proud momma!
