Is this more or less true? And if so would it be wise to go Ranger first the try to go through selection. Or even re-enlisted after Ranger as 18X? I am just trying to explore which avenue would make me as competent as possibly. I would like to end by saying thank you in advance for your responses and your service. Your dedication is inspirational.

You probably should read the rules and stickies, since you appear to have missed them. Do not post again here till you have done so.
I would also recommend that you use the Search button in the upper right hand corner and do a lot more reading before asking any additional questions.
Search "A Message to Garcia" for some specific guidance you may find of value.
