Army Ranger preparation help please!?

Rangers and Special Forces are two different worlds. Close, but not the same. There really is no way to prepare for it other than just being sensible, get in shape, stay there without injuring yourself before you even get a chance to get in the door and make your way from there. Passing the Ranger course is not all muscle and brawn, there is a mental element to it. Some of the biggest dudes that could bench press five hundred pounds with their pinkie fingers couldn't get past day one at these schools. There is a mental and physical element to getting through them so "preparing" there is not much you can do other than just not being the first one to bail out before day three rolls around. Don't get all stupid with weight lifting and marathons just stay in shape. Play a sport maybe, get into the track team but when it comes time to gear up for the Ranger course you'll have basic behind you and will have a better idea of what physical shape you really need to be in and just prepare for the mental element that is going to be your worst enemy when and if you do get the school.

Question about the U.S. 75th Ranger Regiment?

Question about the U.S. 75th Ranger Regiment?

The Ranger Battalions are rapidly deployable, they can be anywhere in the world within a little less than a day. If you look in every war the United States has been in the Rangers have lead the way since the beginning, that is a fact, marines come in after the rangers. Rangers training is one of the most difficult training regiments in the world and have extremely difficult physical and mental requirements. And if you look in history there are many times Rangers used unconventional warfare, check out the WWII, Philippines Korea, and Vietnam. Rangers also work with Delta Force in task forces. (ex) Operation Gothic Serpent, Ranger pulled security as Delta secured the targets. There is also about 2000 rangers which is actually less that are in the Army Special Forces.

Differences between Rangers and Infantry...

Rangers have to go through airborne training, along with air assault training during Ranger School.

Rangers have MUCH more difficult PT standards

Rangers work with Delta and many end up going into Delta

Rangers are much better marksmen

Rangers training is ten times longer than the Infantry's

Anyone can get into the Infantry, only a few can get into the Rangers

First time going to Disney World?

First time going to Disney World?

Walt Disney World is alot bigger than Disneyland. Disneyland Resort is 500 acers. Walt Disney World is 27,443 acers and has 4 theme parks, two waterparks, downtown disney, 27 resort hotels. I've been to Disneyland and Walt Disney World many times. But you need to know that you cannot just simply walk around the resort like you can at Disneyland (I love that all you have to do is walk out the entrance of Disneyland and walk like a few feet and already at California Adventure). The theme parks are miles apart from eachother. The best way to get around is to use Disney transportation. You also need to know that a much larger amount of Vacationers go to Walt Disney World, while Disneyland is the exact opposite, most people there are locals. Some tips and tricks to use are to arrive at the parks 30 minutes before opening, so you will be in the front of the pack, then go ride top rides first such as Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain first. Also you need a Touring Plan, this is a must, make a plan on the rides you want to ride, the time you have available, what you must do, and a goal in mind. Use Fastpass which prints you out a fastpass ticket for a return time at a fp attraction to come back and ride with little or no wait. But if you are a Disney World Resort guest (Staying at a disney resort) they currently are using a special system called Fastpass + which allows you to make you fastpass + ride reservations at home at the My Disney Experience Website before going to the parks. This secures rides on your favorite rides without having to rush to the parks to get fastpass. Wear comfortable walking shoes, you can walk as much as 17 miles a day. Sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, water. The heat and humidity is much different than it is in Southern California. It can get very hot and the humidity makes it worse. Thats may be why when I go to Disneyland, I feel better because SO CAL does not have humidty like Fl does. Unfortunatley, Disney World does lack a few awesome rides that makes Disneyland awesome, it does not have Indiana Jones Adventure, The Matterhorn, California Screamin, Cars Land and Radiator Springs Racers. WDW does not have many Single Rider Lines which are my secret weapon at Disneyland since almost every big ride at California Adventure other than Tower of Terror has a single rider line. There is only three Single Rider Lines at WDW, Test Track at Epcot, Rock n roller coaster at Hollywood Studios, and Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom. Check out Space Moutain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Pirates of the Caribbean, Stitches Great Escape, Monster Inc Laugh Floor, Tomorrowland Speedway, Astro Orbitor, Mad Tea Party, The Haunted Mansion, Peter Pans Flight and the new Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. Test Track Mission Space Soarin, Spaceship Earth, Innoventions, Club Cool, Ellens Energy Adventure, and the world showcase at EPCOT. Rock n roller coaster, Tower of Terror, Star Tours, Toy Story Midway Mania, Light Motors Action extreme stunt show, Studio backlot tour, Indiana Jones stunt show, American Idol experience, and The great movie ride at Hollywood Studios. Expedition Everest, Dinssaur, Kali river rapids, Kilamanjaro Safari, PrimevalWhirl, Its tough to be a bug, rafikis planet watch, at Animal Kingdom.
