You go in and are treated like any other grunt. I.e. if you get cut due to "Ranger Roulette" you're still fucked and take on 1M in debt (paid back over 10 years)

You have three months to prepare; however, you have to front the money for any training you want to get (i.e., weapons training)

https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/army-ranger-school/

With only four days of Florida patrols left, Special Forces veteran Nicholas Carchidi has yet to earn the go he needs. He was frustrated to get a no-go in an earlier field exercise, likely the result of a mistake made by one of his subordinates. This illustrates an unavoidable reality of Ranger School: though the RIs use a standardized leadership-evaluation scorecard, there’s always a degree of subjectivity, and judging isn’t an exact science. Frustrated students use the phrase “RI roulette” to refer to conditions they can’t control, which can have an impact on your chances for success. For example, leading a platoon of well-rested students in beautiful weather could be more likely to yield a positive result than taking an exhausted platoon through a driving rainstorm with weak squad leaders.

It’s been over a decade. It would suck, but barring catastrophic injury in the first week or during the mountaineering training I think I could do it, especially with the experience. You really just have to get through the first week and after that it’s just a suck-fest.

I would need at least a month of rucking in boots to harden my feet back up; otherwise I would get catastrophic blisters on the 12-mile ruck and land nav course and be screwed.

My first time through I recycled Mountain phase and Florida phase. I know the tricks now, though, and have a lot more military confidence (I went straight out of IBOLC) so I think I would be a first time Go on evaluations and peer-reviews. There are always some conditions you can’t control, though, and sometimes the RIs just don’t like you, or fail you just to make you perform again under stress.

-Volunteer to carry the heavy weapons (M240B, M249).

-Politic with the peer evals (make sure the guy you rank #1 is returning the favor)

-Know when the RIs are looking so you can steal some sleep. Alternatively, know when the RIs aren’t letting you start your priorities of work because your patrol base is about the be ambushed

-if you don’t see weapons, don’t shoot the guys walking through your ambush

-there are no civilian vehicles in play, so if you see some on your objective, you’re in the wrong place

-eat all of your food as soon as you get it; holding onto peanut butter packets or DOGEX goodies will just get you recycled when they inspect rucks or lockers.

I was Armor and dropped out during City week. Even though I did ROTC and left after 4 years, I still have a chip on my shoulder about it. It would have been better if I didn’t go because everyone acted like I was a tabless bitch even though there’s tons of Armor officers out of shape and anti-infantry

$1m in debt would be a disaster for me. $10m wouldn’t be enough to change my life one iota. So the downside risk outweighs the upside by quite a bit. Maybe $100m if you get it, lose $1m for failure would be more aligned with my feelings around money.
