How do we fix Ranger School?

>>29496490
Make it easier for women to pass.

It's dead, Jim.

Introduce lower standards for women and minorities.

>>29496490
Limit to people going to or in, Ranger regiment or SF.

No more 5 jump chumps going for tabs. So they can get promoted faster. Never intending to be a real Ranger or operator.

Require them to guard the wall, maybe slay an orc or some shit.

We're not supposed to kill Russians I thought

Why the actual fuck would you make a leadership school exclusive to regiment and SF?

Stop pretending its anything more "special" than any other nation's light infantry course.

Have Marine drill instructors take over and give them complete and utter freedom to do as they wish.

Ranger school has nothing to do with being an operator or Ranger, despite it's name. It is 100% a LEADERSHIP school, thus why it is important leadership box to check off for those trying to get promoted. That is it's purpose, to develop greater leadership ability in those who want to reach the higher leadership positions.

Whether it actually does that is another question entirely. And only those who have been tabbed could possibly answer.

From what I've heard, probably not. It's just a torture test and gauges the basic ability to remain a team player under extremely adverse conditions to not get peered out. While that's an important leadership aspect I doubt it truly separates good leaders from great ones in the military.

Make it an actual leadership school instead of a suckfest that makes you come out the other end in the worst condition of your life.

>>29496490
I don't see how getting your balls smoked off of you somehow makes you a better leader.

>>29499193
This, really.

Even finance or chaplains can go to Ranger school. Having a Ranger tab basically says "I've been through 61 days of suck."

It shows to others that even after a week without sleep and hauling 60 pounds of gear up a mountain and through a swamp that you can still function on a basic soldiering level.

>>29500703
How many people are you currently leading?

>a week without sleep
fairly certain that would result in death, if you somehow manage to retain consciousnesses that is

>>29501161
Well I'm completely certain you're wrong.

>>29501235
He's not, even seals in training only do 4 days without sleep. Apparently any more and it causes some kind of permanent damage.

After 38 hours I have mild hallucinations, I can't imagine what 4 days would do

While we are at it lets unchain NCO's across all services. Fucking bullshit nowadays Joe can tell MSG to fuck off and MSG has to politely explain to Joe what he is doing wrong and why he was corrected and then submit a formal document for correction only to be told he violated Joe is some way.

The current world record for staying awake without stimulants is 11 days, a full week that includes heavy physical exertion is pretty much impossible.
