Well there you have it E-4 and above. Thanks Blackrazor.
So makes a good case for Spearhead. What about Hit&Run? Recoil? Ripcord? Rock'n'Roll? Grunt? Footloose? Short-Fuze is a washout in DDP but I'd make him do it again. Downtown? Wreckage? DUSTY? All of Sky-Patrol I would assume have Ranger Tabs due to rank. Mercer? (E-9) I figure any Infantry Army Joe E-5 and above would have his Ranger tab, but there are a few E-4s who I wonder about really. But not many.

I thought we'd decided the X stands for "I have no middle name but military records require something in this field"...?

Sky Patrol should all be Rangers at the very least, if not Special Forces. IIRC, isn't Free Fall a Ranger as well?

Yeah, Freefall is a Ranger.
Sky Patrol should be as well. Drop Zone is Special Forces.

All of Sky-Patrol I would assume have Ranger Tabs due to rank. Mercer? (E-9) I figure any Infantry Army Joe E-5 and above would have his Ranger tab, but there are a few E-4s who I wonder about really. But not many. Recoil? Absolutely he's a Ranger - the guy is a LRRP/LRSC "Pathfinder". Hit & Run - I've looked through his file cards dozens of times, and I can't find any evidence. However, in the Action Force Battle Files, he's SAS - the same goes for Footloose. Classic Rip Cord - it's possible he's a Ranger. Normal units don't have any HALO jumpers, unless it's the Pathfinders - but those guys are all Rangers anyway. Rock & Roll - I can't find any evidence Grunt - nothing about being a Ranger Short-Fuze - no evidence for a Ranger Tab Downtown - questionable. Wreckage - Hard to say, but not unlikely Dusty - I would say probably a Ranger, if not Special Forces. The HALO jumper qualification is usually for Infantrymen with Ranger Tabs, plus all the languages he knows. Sky Patrol - Sky Dive is a Ranger: no question. Drop Zone is an 18B, and a senior NCO: more than likely he's a Ranger. Altitude, with the HALO qualification and his recon ability, probably Ranger-qualified - the rest of them: it's a crap shoot, but I would almost guess "no" because of their specialties. Mercer - I know you love him. I just can't see it. I think his E-9 rank is a crazy Hasbro error, and the guy is just a little better than Major Bludd. I don't see him as that elite - he was only a Viper. He's not well-liked. I can't see a guy like that getting sent to Ranger School, and even if he did get to go, I can't see him making it through - those Peer reviews are pretty tough. I've spent a lot of time going through the file cards for these guys because I've been working on my Delta/Ranger Strike Force - I've made some leaps to include characters I really like (Spearhead), but I've always had (at the very least) strong circumstancial evidence.

I make the leap for Hit & Run cause I like him so much, but would be happy just making him jump qualified and 10th Mountain, lol
But like Tank said a page or so back, not having all the Joes be Ranger-qualified just seems odd (army ones anyways) for what is supposed to be an elite unit. If they're not Ranger-qualified there has to be something MAJOR that makes them stand out from all the Ranger-qualified guys out there.

Which I think makes it more likely that Ripcord would be to.
Out of the non-Sky Patrol jumpers, 2 are Rangers. Why wouldn't the original be?
