Receiving the ranger tab

[mikecichraMMA]

Rookie question here, and I don't trust Google, but how long does it take (from start to finish) to receive your ranger tab and start training?

Well, for starters, you get the tab after you start training.

I feel like a dumb ass now. I guess I mean how long is it until you are actually assigned to the regiment.

You don't need a Tab to get assigned to the Regiment.

I'm digging myself a deeper hole. Does anyone know what I'm at least trying to get at?

NO.

YOU explain yourself properly. Take a breath and try again when you have worked out EXACTLY what you want to say.

If someone were to have an 18x contract what is the amount of time passed from the end of basic training to when you are in a ranger battalion.

Holy fuck!

What is a fucking 18X contract? Tell me.

 

[mikecichraMMA]

Its the special forces candidate contract. That's what I was told.

That has nothing to do with Ranger School. You might want to try searching this site, and even google to figure out where to start.

Yep, 11X option 40 (?) is (was) a contract for someone trying to get into the Ranger Regiment.
Ranger Regiment and the Special Forces Regiment are two different things.

Thanks for clarifying that. I'd rather be corrected by people with actual experience and knowledge then to just chance it off Google.

Mike,

Just yesterday you came across the SOF Enablers thread and posted about how you wanted to be a SEAL. Now you are posting questions about the 75th and 18x contracts. I'm only trying to help you out when I say stop posting and just read. Use this website and ProfessionalSoldiers.com, ArmyRanger.com, ect. Google is your friend and it will turn up hits on the sites I mentioned as well as others, like this one for example. There is a plethora of answers here and there to all of the questions you have asked and then some. Just hate to see you burn in. Also, you're 17....go get laid damn it. PT, get laid, research....repeat. Ofcourse work this around school.

"eternity."

I am going to say this as nicely as possible, you have dug a hole so deep you are on the brink of being banned. Shut up for 6 months and read.

Stop, pop smoke, extract immediately, run for your life!

Oh Goddamn it!! I always hate these word problem ones, "If Jimmy travels 57 mph how long till..."

I usually go with (B) but I see you omitted that possibility (very sneaky of you ). I give up!! By the way, have you checked out the new UAV posting? Looks uber radical.
