can i join ranger after my rotc 101st airborne contract is up, or do they just make you leave?
say i could, how?
what rank do i need to be as an officer to attempt to join Rangers and Army Special forces?
Just need to know because i have to decide if i should go rotc for 101st or join rangers enlisted. I wanna make a career in the army so i wanna do rotc but if that means i cant do the rangers ill just enlist in rangers.
Lastly, say I did join the rangers enlisted could i make a long career of it. I always thought id have to be an officer because then they could just promote you to a less dangerous rank as you get too old to fight but I don't know how long your allowed in enlisted?
please don't feel like you gotta answer everything just answer one part if thats all you have but please help if you can, the goarmy recruiter chat people aren't a great help
You can join the Ranger Rgt as an Officer. You need to be a senior 1LT or CPT in the right year group to join SF as an officer. See the link for more info. If you enlisted as an Infantryman, you could in theory stay in the Ranger Rgt your whole career. I can't tell you how likely this is to actually happen. You can enlist directly to SF if you meet the minimum requirements and pass the grueling selection process. If you enlist and then try to go SF, you must be at least an E-4.
