I'm trying to make a rough list of the Joes that are Rangers without having to go through and read every single file card. I figured some of you guys are a lot more knowledgeable and know a lot of trivia off the top of your heads. So far I've got:
Stalker Flint Beachhead Tunnel Rat It seems like there are more, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Any help fellow tankers? |

Snake-Eyes went to Ranger school and was a LRRP, don't forget.

There is a big difference between people who are rangers and people that have been through ranger school. Almost 90% of combat arms officers attend ranger school before they get their promotion to Major (O4). Tons of enlisted soldiers also go through ranger school. The list of Joes that were Special forces is even smaller.
On Older joes almost anybody that wore a black Berrette was probably a ranger, they switched to tan in 2000. And now all the regular army guys wear the black ones. Just reading file cards isn't going to tell you if they were rangers for the most part, but only if they went to ranger school. I could actually investigate this further, it would take a week or two, but I could make a spreadsheet of all the joes and their special training schools. Again, just because they went to the school doesn't mean they served that capacity. |

Although it might not mention it on the cards, all infantry (branched) officers are required to go to Ranger school. I'm not at home, so I'm not sure who that would include/effect if anyone.

I think it is surprising how few of the Joes have actually been through SERE training.

Of course there's that HUGE thread on what the file cards tell us, and with the later Joes, all that they don't. |

I think that Ripcord and Pathfinder are probably Ranger qualified as well.
I mean, look at the type of work they have to do. Long Range surveillance, HALO drops, etc... |
