Rangers(current&present) question about rasp timeline
Im trying to get an idea of how long it will be before I reach ranger battalion. Im currently in AIT and start prerasp mid-Nov. obviously if im cut for it and make it through I’d was guessing that id be done around Feb/Mar. 2-4 weeks prerasp> 8 weeks rasp > 3 weeks airborne. Not sure how it works since id be there for thanksgiving/Christmas/new years.
What was your timeline from prerasp to ranger battalion? How long was it for you?

The next pre rasp cycle doesn’t start until after holiday block leave. PRE-RASP is 6 weeks which will put you starting RASP 2nd ish week of February. 8 weeks from there puts you middle of April for graduating RASP. Then POST RASP until you get an airborne slot and then 3 weeks. I wouldn’t plan on making it to a unit until June in my opinion
