  ur question is not quite clear. do u mean enlistees (CPL and below) regular or NSF?
  
  as mentioned, NSFs do not usually get priority for ranger course, cos the regulars need it more, esp the CDO regulars. next in priority i guess would be the CDO NSFs / other regular vocations.
  
  there is no restriction on the rank however. in fact during the course, all trainees are stripped of rank.

  yup, during ranger course their rank are all stripped off. ranger course is tough. dey got selection for the course. phase 1 is in camp trg, phase 2 is in tekong and phase 3 is thailand.

  The magic word here is "Volunteer"
  In other words means "You asked for it"
  
  Dunno abt NSFs but usually regulars go for it.

  SAF Ranger course is more attuned to the physical as opposed to the US Ranger course, which is more draining on the mind.
