If you are an Officer in Combat Arms and Do Not have a Ranger Tab, then you should be seeking every venue and opportunity to attend.
As a brand new 18A on an ODA how are you going to lead combat proven NCO's who have all been to Ranger School? You need to bring everything that you can to the table in order to prove to everyone that you deserve to be in that position.
FYI, there is a certain CPT in my AO that decided not to take a day 1 recycle at Ranger school because he was assigned to go to our forward Bn. When the GRP COC caught wind of his refusal do you actually think that he got to go to the Forward Bn, or do you think he ended up as the Grp-3 shop bitch boy?
Go to Ranger School as soon as you can and be successful.
Surrender is not a Ranger word.............
