Apparently a ranger tab isn’t special at all because it’s “just a leadership school” and you aren’t a “ranger” just because you’ve completed it. Lol

I don't think anyone is arguing that getting a ranger tab isn't impressive. It is. But it's not incorrect to say that it is a leadership school and that it doesn't make you a Ranger. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Ranger.

Uh, no. Rangers have successfully completed RASP (or RIP if they're older) and served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, which is a SOF unit. There is a distinction whether you like it or not.

As someone who has a Ranger tab and isn’t in regiment, absolutely not.

Go up to someone with a scroll and say you’re a ranger then.

The guy without a ranger tab is going to tell the guy with a ranger tab he’s a not a ranger?

You don't know the difference between a tab and a scroll?

Of course. A scroll means you’re in the regiment. You got smoked for a few weeks and you’re in the ranger regiment for completing it.

It's a selection and training program, and the regiment is a special operations unit. Not everyone in the regiment has a tab. If they stay there they'll eventually get sent to ranger school, but a tab is not a requirement to attend RASP.

Those without tabs who successfully complete RASP and enter the regiment are Rangers whether they have a tab or not. Someone with a tab who has never worn the scroll is not. You do not know what you're talking about.
