[QUOTE="texan, post: 1085287, member: 38206"] [B]Ok I lied when I said no more on this subject will I post. One of the 1st feather's in anyone's cap to be competitive is Airborne in the Army. One must go through school to jump out of planes. You could go to Ranger school without being airborne, but you could not be assigned to a Ranger unit without your Airborne wings back in my day. Another feather is Air Assult school. But just going to the school and obtaining the patch, the real meat and potatoes is being assigned to a Ranger unit and doing well. They (Rangers) are one of the Army's best units, you have to be above the rest to make it. Of course there is the elite of the elite, our Army Special Forces / Green Berets. Few make that. Then the ultimate is Delta Force. Only a few top notch Rangers and Green Berets could make that. I also knew back in the day a Pathfinder. That is a really hard selection also. I was not any of the above, just sharing the 22 years I was in. The only feather / patch that helped me make and retire as E-8 was Drill Sergeant School and 3 years on the trail. A succesful recruiter also can be above their peers in the promotion system.[/B] [/QUOTE]
