But I think anyone that's graduated should be called that (Ranger or Force Recon or whatever) even if not actively serving in the unit.
How do the Qualified people keep up with the training if not in an active Ranger unit? Doesn't make sense to have 'em as "back-up"s if they lose the training and don't keep up to date.
I think the honor of being Ranger Qualified may be enough for some guys. But once you earn your Ranger tab, you earn the right to be referred to as a Ranger I believe. But on paper that's probably a different story since there is a distinction between what unit you serve in.
Plus Like oliver mentioned, Career wise guys need to get that tab if they want to pursue their military careers. I suspect many of the trainees are NCOs and officers who will go back to their units after ranger School. Yet they were senior enough or had enough pull to be allowed to go to Ranger school to further their training.
I don't think they are all waiting in the wings sort of speak. They probably role through 3 classes a year right, so there are always enough recruits. Once you make the team then the continual training begins. All the Spec Ops guys train all the time. It cost a pretty penny to continually train guys so there can be only so many roster spots.
