i spent 4 yrs in 3rd Ranger BN back in early nineties. Its something you have to be 100% dedicatied to you cant half a$$ it thier or they will kick you to the Line. As far as bein an officer there you would have to have a command someplace else before goin thier like 82nd or 101st. they dont take cherry officers. You want to go to war and get some experience then this is the best place.There is also a 3 week try out period. I think your plan is to come in as an officer. it would take about 2 yrs before you could go to a ranger BN. Do some research there is alot of info about the 75th Ranger Rgt. Dont Listen to the marines there just jealous they havent really been used since the Vietnam war ( intended joke )
