If I remember correctly Tunnel Rat, Crankcase and Dart's filecards state they went to Ranger School, not necessarily served in the 75th (unless I missed a filecard someplace). Skydive states he was an instructor at the Ranger School. Does one have to serve in the 75th before becoming an instructor? I thought the two entities were separate? The 75th Rangers have their RASP school (which is separate from Ranger School).
Also a general questions....is the Ranger Creed used by soldiers in the 75th Regiment or by anyone who has graduated Ranger School?
All of these would be speculation.
Although Ranger School is separate I would not treat it as so. Skydive
Crankcase -Because he got to go to SAS school. he must be a Ranger Ranger
Tunnel-Rat -Because he went to Grenada -Only Rangers and 82 Airborne went to Grenada
Repeater - He wears a Ranger tab on his hat. I see that as a slight of hand to promote his Rangerness. Do non-75th Rangers wear a tab on their BDU lids? I don't know. I would assume they were it on their Dress uniforms and maybe their Work BDUs. But if it ain't your unit then why wear it so prominently on your head? I think under current grooming standards its a violation to have anything but Rank on your Patrol Cap. Maybe this is why he never gets promoted?

One picture I have seen of this not being the case was back in 1986 when I guess you could. This guy is a Ranger BTW.

The others I don't know. I don't have anything that would lead me to believe one way or the other that they are part of the 75th. THey are all listed as Ranger school grads though. They have a Ranger feel to me.. Muskrat, and Dart seem like natural Rangers. Sidetrack and Desert Wolf are listed as RANGER as their role on the top of their filecard.
Hawk is a mistake he could be anything though? He could probably go to the bottom of the list with Clutch and Alpine and Lady Jaye
