Can a marine become a army ranger?

Certainly. You get out of the Marines at your normal separation date, then reenlist into the Army for the 75th Ranger Regiment. As far as walking into your Marine Corps first sergeant's office and telling him, "First Sergeant, I want to be an Airborne Ranger! I want to live a life that's filled with danger!" he will either laugh at you, put you on additional training for three days for having heretical thoughts, tell you about Marine Recon, or all three at the same time. Ranger school is a school (just like airborne, pathfinder, etc). Yes, servicemen from other branches of the military (and foreign militaries) are allowed to attend Ranger school to receive the Ranger tab. Graduating from Ranger school does not mean you are in a Ranger battalion (or a Ranger, for that matter.) To be in a Ranger battalion, you must be in the Army (since all Ranger Batts are army units.) Marines do not need to enlist with the Army to become a Ranger. Much like a any Army Soldier can elect to receive Ranger Training, so can a Marine. Actually, there are documented cases of Marines that have scored the highest in their Ranger class because they were more prepared for the stress. As a perspective Marine, I have looked into this personally and done the research. If you have any further questions, seek a recruiter, because he can help you more. A Marine can earn his Ranger Tab, he is only considered a tabbed Marine. He will not be able to wear the tab (although some Marines elect to sew the Ranger tab under the front pocket) A Marine will often be nicknamed, ie. Ranger LoGiudice, or some other acquired nickname. I served with 1st Recon Bn, 1st MarDiv and our unit tried to send one Recon Marine per Ranger School Class. I attended Class 3-95, you might remember that class, as 4 Ranger students died in the Florida swamp phase. I am now Ranger Tabbed. I cannot publicly display it the USMC uniform. However, if you get out of the USMC and enlisted in the Army, you could then join a Ranger/SF unit, and therefore be a considered a Recon Ranger, I served as a Army National Guard Medic for seven years after serving on the active side of the Marine Corps. I am proud of all my military service. My former MOS was 8654 - Recon Marine, Airborne, Scuba qualified. I the new Recon MOS is 0326. Recon is the MOS to have if you have the heart. I attended the best schools and my career was on the right path, not a life for a married Marine. A side note: Ranger School was no joke.

Were the 101st and 82nd airborne units in World War 2 also Rangers?

The airborne units and the ranger units were separate and distinct during WW II and are still that way today. However, many of those who went to ranger training and became part of the units came from the ranks of the 82nd and 101st. In today's army it is required that all candidates for ranger school first become airborne qualified. *Added* Many of the initial cadre of the initial Rangers, 1st Ranger Battalion under Brig. Gen. (Then Lt Col) William Orlando Darby, came from the Red Bull Division, 34th ID.


Was Ice-t in ranger battalion?

Ice-T did serve in the Army for four years, after graduating from high school. However, he was never in any unit of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and the line from "Law and Order: SVU" where his character presents himself as a former member of the Rangers who served in Somalia was not intended to be any sort of reflection of Ice-T's time in the Army.

What school do the rangers go to?

An army rangers has only one definition, a member of the 75th ranger regiment. The schools to pass are: 1. basic combat training 2. advanced individual training for a mos found in the rangers. 3. Basic Airborne school 4. Ranger assessment and selection program. This course is 8 weeks and about 1/4 of candidates pass. After complete, you will be assigned to one of the 4 battalions of the Regiment and will be considered an army ranger. NOTE: Army Ranger school has very little to do with being a ranger. Although graduates of this school earn the Ranger Tab, they are merely Ranger qualified, and are not rangers. A ranger must only attend this course to hold a leadership position in the Regiment and attend specialty schools.


What Army Ranger contract to pick if you want to be infantry but don't want to go to Ranger School?

Then you don't sign a Ranger contract. You just sign a contract for regular old 11B. Signing a Ranger contract doesn't send you to Ranger School - you need to be E4 or higher in order to do that - you go through the two week Ranger Indoctrination Program (now called something else, but I don't remember what), and, if you pass, you have the possibility of being assigned to a Ranger Battalion. In order to advance to Sergeant in a Ranger Battalion, you must first complete Ranger School and get tabbed out. In regular Army line units, Ranger School isn't a requirement, but it is a major advantage towards career advancement.

Is it hard to become an army ranger?

Is it hard to become an Army Ranger? I am assuming you mean an actual Army Ranger, and not someone that went to the Army's Ranger training school to get a Ranger Tab. Yes..... Becoming a Ranger is a serious task. There are no timeouts, no seconds chances. In RIP you will be mentally and physically challenged beyond anything you have ever thought possible. If you have the "Intestinal Fortitude" to fight through all the training and testing in RIP, you will get to continue to test yourself as an actual Army Ranger. The life of an Army Ranger is much harder than RIP, so prepare yourself. It is a hard journey, but, when it is all said and done, very few have more right to be proud of themselves than Army Rangers! Rangers Lead the Way!
