Becoming an Army Ranger is a challenging and rigorous process that requires a high level of physical and mental toughness. The training to become an Army Ranger is considered one of the most physically and mentally demanding programs in the U.S. military. Here are some of the requirements and challenges that must be overcome to become an Army Ranger:

Physical Fitness: Army Ranger candidates must pass the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), which consists of push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run. They must also meet height and weight requirements and pass a medical examination.

Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP): This is a rigorous selection process that includes physical and mental tests, leadership evaluations, and a land navigation course. The process includes a series of evaluations to determine if candidates have the mental and physical toughness necessary to become an Army Ranger.

Ranger School: This is a 61-day course that tests the physical and mental endurance of candidates through a series of intense training exercises, including land navigation, small unit tactics, and combat operations. The course is designed to simulate the conditions of combat and is considered one of the toughest training programs in the military.

Continued Training and Development: Even after completing Ranger School, Army Rangers must continue to train and develop their skills to maintain their readiness for combat operations.

Overall, becoming an Army Ranger is a highly challenging process that requires a significant commitment of time and effort. It requires a high level of physical and mental toughness, as well as the ability to work well in a team and under stressful conditions.

TFW you present a bunch of scripts at an internal check-in and get a great reaction.

Then the Account Director writes up a contradictory report with a totally different take on the meeting. It lists their “concerns” and suggests that it was “a good start” with some “possible territories to explore”.

But they don’t realize you recorded all the positive comments and feedback. 🤔
