Rangers orbat

I think it's fair to say that Ninja's been around the block.
I'm still quite annoyed that I missed my shot at Ranger - my company was supposed to be the pioneer NS Ranger batch and I put my hand up for it, but apparently they held it off till the next year because of some paperwork buggeration. -
Say, Ninja, I heard a rumour about a fellow called Wilfred who passed Ranger on his first try and then went back for a second round just for fun. Can you confirm this?

Yes Sir,you are right with the comparison of the US Ranger course and the Navy Seal Course and the latter being one of the most siong courses on this planet in terms of physical limits.I saw a documentary once on the Japanese Ranger course where a trainee was given his weapon then asked to recite an oath but he forgot to say 'Ranger" at the end,the angry cadre didnt ask him to knock it down but merely said' 'Could you please say Ranger!!!?'
Ged,your Pl Sgt must have been a blue eye boy to be sent to the US on his first contract....maybe I know him but he should have stayed a bit longer get his local Ranger and think about it cuz that is a real waste. -

I cant confirm that story about the guy who went for Ranger twice but if there was such thing then he has got to be a Cdo officer who borderline passed the first time and wanted to prove something for himself. -
He had the red tab already, and then they sent him for the US course. It's a pity because he really could have gone places if he stayed in IMHO.Originally posted by Short Ninja:Ged,your Pl Sgt must have been a blue eye boy to be sent to the US on his first contract....maybe I know him but he should have stayed a bit longer get his local Ranger and think about it cuz that is a real waste. -
Aiyah, garang mah!Originally posted by Short Ninja:Hey you are a LRRP so that is good enough> I cant confirm that story about the guy who went for Ranger twice but if there was such thing then he has got to be a Cdo officer who borderline passed the first time and wanted to prove something for himself. Seriously, if I'd gone and passed I would have signed on. As it turns out, I went ti uni and ended up in Australia. Such is fate. 
Nah, this guy Wilfred was an NCO. He was a platoon sargeant in the ROD company when I enlisted. -
Just a question away from the rangers, for SOF... You can be from any vocation is it? Or you have to move from CDO first before moving on to SOF?
-
The SOF selection is open to all Vocation some people from service vocation have also succeeded.Originally posted by wonderamazement:Just a question away from the rangers, for SOF... You can be from any vocation is it? Or you have to move from CDO first before moving on to SOF? -

And their beret? Retain their parent vocation's colour is it?Originally posted by Short Ninja:The SOF selection is open to all Vocation some people from service vocation have also succeeded. -
When you are a qualified SOF you get to wear the Red Beret.

When you sign up you have to be a regular at that point in time?Originally posted by Short Ninja:When you are a qualified SOF you get to wear the Red Beret. -
You can be an Nsf when you sign up for the selection but once selected you need to sign on.Originally posted by wonderamazement:When you sign up you have to be a regular at that point in time? -
Heard from a friend whom is a regular in ADF - Nee Soon Camp... That many from his company earned the ranger tab...
-
All along i thought being a regular was a pre-requisite...Originally posted by Short Ninja:You can be an Nsf when you sign up for the selection but once selected you need to sign on.
Thx, Short Ninja. -
I don't think that is the actual application form.
