Peregrino is partially correct. First he MUST be assigned to a Group or Ranger Batt, if in casual he is screwed. MOS is not a big deal. We take all the 18 series to include 18A and 180A even if they do suck at shooting and can argumentative. We fully support the 11B Ranger and SMUs regardless of MOS.
The procedure of selection is this. I have ATRRS access and get the final final ATRRS list that morning at 0600. This is th e list we call from, I really can care what your unit said, the list is the list. No you can not come there and tell us that you are taking so and sos place on the list. That is when Peregino's SGM goes off on us. Once your name has been called we will check all your paperwork, if you are deficient in required paperwork you will go home. Ask a couple of guys form the last class. Show up with everything. If you are on ATRRS then you will receive an email form me the week before the course. If you get on the list after that date you will NOT receive an email as I can not go through the dam list everyday to find who has changed as units love to do that little trick. That is why I pull the final list that morning and yes there are changes from Friday. Once we have gone through the ATRRS list we go through the SGM's standby list same requirements. We then go through the walk ons. If you are a walk on you will have to have all the paperwork at that time. If there are doubts as to what is required then go to the SWC hompage, SWTG, 2d Bn, Co D, and you will see a post of all the paperwork, equipment, etc you need to have on day one.
Now that we have you together, we will take you all down to the range and give you a "refresher" on how to shoot. The ATTRS guys will shoot first and will be graded, those that don't make the cut will be replaced by those that do form first the SGM's list and then the walk ons.
Do not ask to see your target, do not argue and play poochy lip and for Goodness sake DO NOT lie to your SGM and give him some song and dance about how you really did make it but us big bad MFs didn't let you in. Your target goes to the USASFC SGM and your a** may be on the block, ask a couple of guys.
Learn to group and shoot consistently. You only have to shoot a group that is small enough to insure a Sharpshooters badge, your command has stated that you are an Expert, don't piss them off.
Guys, I added this URL from ATTRS. Do not just click on the pre-requisites button for the course. Scroll down until you come to the SFSC specific info. The PRe-req button only gives part of hte picture, the rest fo the story is down near the bottom of this page.
