[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1085422, member: 4805"] That's true, but the Ranger tab commands respect and carries a lot of weight everywhere. Outside of the infantry it may not be the only factor but in a competitve promotion cycle it can be the deciding factor. Prior to 2005 officers in non combat fields didn't have to worry about it from a career standpoint, but now they have to consider that down the road they might get passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has the tab even though they both work in a procurement office and it's got nothing to do with their actual jobs. Women in those fields are now faced with competing for promotions against men who have an advantage that they are prohibited from having. It's water under the bridge now but really they should have kept it exclusive to the Ranger BNs, it should never have even got to the point where Infantry officers who never even served with the Rangers were basically required to have it to advance because eventually that mentality trickles out to the Army as a whole and it starts to get viewed as a career ticket punch. And that's when the standards drop. [/QUOTE]
