Ranger Prep from a Non-Infantry or Non-Army Background
If you are coming to Ranger School from a non-Infantry or non-Army background, you are at a disadvantage. But it is a disadvantage you can overcome.
Starting Ranger Training
Ranger School is hard. That is no surprise. But what often gets overlooked is how physically demanding the preparation can be, even before Day 0 ever begins.
Mental Training for Ranger School
Preparing for Ranger School is tough. There’s a lot to take in between packing lists, physical training, military skills, knot tying, and more. But for most people, what weighs heaviest is the anxiety.
Inside Ranger School’s Reptile Team
Part conservation initiative, part safety class, and all passion project, the Reptile Team plays a critical role in preparing Ranger students for the realities of Florida’s wilderness. From venomous snakes to the iconic American alligator, the team educates future Rangers on how to identify, avoid, and respect the local wildlife they’ll encounter during training.
