Army rangers question?

I have been thinking about joining the army.
Really interested in trying out for ranger school. Not exactly sure how it works, but do you sign up for the military and be able to try out for it, or do you have to already be in the army for a certain amount of time before you can try for it.
I have been working out for a while now, and I wont sign up until I am physically ready for it. What are some ways I can prepare myself physically before signing up? I''m new to this idea so still trying to think of what I should prepare for.

Also, I am only a greencard holder, not a citizen yet. Will that be a problem?
Thanks in advance everybody!

Lose Weight the Right Way and Keep it Off

Recommended Answer:
First of all your physical preparations are way too far out for anything you''ll be able to benefit from in Ranger school. I went into the Army in the best shape of my life but with the way BCT is structured now you hardly get to run and the workouts are a joke. Top that off with the fact that kids have gone soft and file complaints every time they get smoked and you create an environment where those who go in great shape end up coming out in average shape at best. That being said don''t slack on PT before going in. Your best way in would be to go in beast shape, blow the PT tests out of the water and show the Drills you aren''t a S%#tbag and be offered a chance to go to RASP. In that case if you pass and do well afterwards you''d definitely be able to go to Ranger school at either PFC or SPC.

If you don''t get a chance to go through RASP you will proceed from BCT to your unit and when you "go" to Ranger school (if you go at all) will be determined by your unit. They pick who they send and when they send them so you will have little control over this. All you can do is work hard and try your best while expressing your interest in going and hope that someone cares enough about your career to take the time and set you up with a slot for Ranger school. As I said before there is no set timeline for this so its impossible to give you an answer. Could be a few months, could be never.

Final route is become an officer (not going to list all the ways to do that you can read somewhere else) and go Infantry as your branch. After IBOLC if you pass everything that is required of you, you will 100% get a chance to go. You also won''t have to complete a pre-ranger course although IBOLC is sort of a pre-ranger course in and of itself.

Can''t answer your greencard question but I believe you can obtain citizenship through joining the Army... don''t hold me to that.

Also to that garbage above by some of these bro''s who aren''t Rangers. Rope climbing? Really? If you can''t climb a rope already don''t even bother trying to be a Ranger. As for swimming if you are a decent swimmer you will be fine the swim test is a joke and is more about conquering your fear of heights if you have one. Honestly the run to and from the pond is harder than the swim test especially if you put all your junk in a trash bag. (You''ll see when you get there what I mean) I''m sure these other guys would tell you if they''d gone to Ranger school but they either haven''t or probably failed in the first week. As for weight training I lift weights 6 times a week. While sure this might not help with what I did in Ranger school you need to remember the Rangers are a fraternity. Do you want some yoked guy joining your fraternity or Baby arms McGee? See my point... Either way you will come out looking like a starving child. I personally lost 30 pounds (205 to 175) but it comes back quick.

Finally you don''t try out for Ranger school unless I was just too awesome and missed the sign for "Ranger School Tryouts". As I said before you have to express interest and prove yourself then your unit sends you. Not oh hey lets send everybody who wants to go to survival island to fight to the death. Winner goes to Ranger school. Although I might have just thought of a great idea. At best you''ll be competing with guys from your immediate unit who want to go but its usually not an issue because either not that many people want to go or not that many people want to do the work to send their soldiers.

....I keep reading more of these responses and finding garbage so here comes some more

You do not need to be Airborne qualified to go to Ranger. In fact if you can avoid it do so and go to Airborne after. It will be one less thing to worry about getting injured doing, especially considering the fact Florida''s drop zone was as hard as pavement and covered in thorn bushes.

Also to Mr. Full Battle Rattle up there who probably doesnt even know what that means, thats a terrible idea. Save your knees as much as possible before and especially your back. You can ruck to prepare but don''t go killing yourself because Ranger school is a grind and it all adds up.

Finally I believe the last point I need to respond to is that they have programs to get you ready? Are you kidding me guy? They expect you even in pre ranger to be fully ready and capable to go. They don''t get you in shape they give you a gut check and then make sure you aren''t mentally challenged and aren''t wasting the time of 4th 5th or 6th RTB. You better show up in shape to pass Ranger school to the pre-Ranger course or I promise you won''t make it through...as you shouldn''t if thats what you really try to pull.


BAM
RLTW

• You can ask you''re recruiter about ranger school and have him find ways to get you into ranger school after basics or whatever time he can get you. You don''t have to be in the army for a certain time to be allowed into the course. There are a lot of 2nd Lt.''s and Privates who go. You also don''t have to wait to be physically ready. Usually, you are sent to preparation programs and are given time to prepare with other soldiers and instructors who will prepare you. Its best to just join anyways cause'' there are many workouts in the military that can help you. Workouts like putting on full battle rattle and walking or running with your buddies on a path that goes around base. Also, there are requirements like going to airborne school (I think) and other stuff.
  
  Being a green card holder is fine cause the military helps you get citizenship.
• It isn''t a problem that you are just a greencarder holder, as you can join the Rangers with the green card aswell.
  Firstly, you have to be an Army Corp before signing up for Ranger School. You need to get through Basic Training, ofc before that, take the ASVAB. After getting your Basic Training you will be named a fully graded soldier of the U.S Army. The most important thing is that you have to apply for the "Army", not the Navy or others, because Rangers are the best light infantry forces in the world, and they are recruiting only from the Army.
  Also try to score the best marks at your APFT and others, because Rangers don''t accept every Army Man who applied for the Ranger School.
  
  For your preparations(Fitness Trainings), make a schedule. This schedule must be an priority for you and you should respect it. Make push-ups, sit-ups etc. as you''ll need a great resistance. Start swimming, and swim not occasionally, but everyday if you can.
  Go and start rope climbing because this is another main task you''ll meet. Also go at the gym and start lifting weights, but don''t get too shaped because this won''t help you, it will just make your trainings harder.
  
  Well this is what I will start doing from this summer, hope this helps bud'', and wish you luck!:)
• Ranger School is an Advanced Combat Leadership school. You can NOT enlist for it and you can NOT do it out of basic unless you are one of the very very few 11x OSUT soldiers that get selected to go.

Top 5 Ways to Lose Weight After the Holidays

Recommended Answer:
Here''s a little cardio workout, you can do it anywhere including at home.
40 jumping jacks
30 jumping rope (you don''t need an actual rope, just pretend)
30 high knees
30 mountain climbers
30 jumping rope
WATER BREAK
25 jumping jacks
30 uppercuts (stand in place with feet spread slightly apart, uppercut punches)
40 jumping rope
30 high knees
5 squats
BREAK and repeat

As for diet, drink at least 8 glasses of water per day and eat fruit and veggies. Read the labels and keep track of how many calories you eat per day. Shoot for around1800 since you''re young and still growing. A great website that I use to track calories and nutrients is caloriecount.about.com

Also, you can use calorie count to input your exercises and it will tell you how many calories you burn running. Then you can decide how long to run for. In addition, if you input your stats, Calorie Count will tell you your predicted date when you will reach your goal weight if you stick to the program.

Wondering How To Lose Weight Quick?

Recommended Answer:
unless you are going on a MAJOR weight loss plan, otherwise this would probably make you pass out

• No it sucks. Where's the protein?
• Not at all. You need to eat somewhat like a normal person. That's not enough food. You're going to hurt your metabolism.
• GOD BLESS U
• i do 400 pushups and situps a day
• It's awful!
  
  No where near enough calories to start with. You need around 2,000 per day to EFFECTIVELY lose weight. If you starve yourself you can PERMANENTLY damage your metabolism.
  
  You're also eating way too much sugar and not getting enough nutrients.
  
  Whenever you eat anything that has "lite" or "light" in its name then it has LESS fat but MORE sugar. Go compare the nutrient panels of some yoghurts the next time you're at the supermarket and you'll see this is true.
  
  Crackers get broken down by the body as glucose (sugar).
  
  I'm not even going to comment on "honey nut chex cereal". Sheesh!
  
  You should eat plenty of non-starchy vegetables - green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cucumbers, lettuce, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots, kale, etc. Ten plus serves per day.
  
  You should also eat adequate protein and good fats - grass fed meat, fish, eggs, cheeses, nuts & seeds.
  
  You should NOT eat any sugars or starchy foods - potatoes, rice, bread, wheat, flour, pasta, etc. This is a totally DO NOT EAT.
  
  You can slip in fruit occasionally, but no more than one per day.
  
  If you can do this diet you can eat as much of it as you want. You're very unlikely to be able to eat too many calories. You will have an abundance of nutrients. And you will feel full and you will lose weight (fat) in the fastest way possible. Exercise is recommended but it is optional.
