RIP washouts
Is it true that about only 30% of all recruits with RIP in their contracts will make it to Batt. If so...Where do most of the recruits wash out, im sure some will not make it past BAC, and the rest will washout at RIP. But what is the main eliminator of washouts?

Young-
If you're doing things right and staying focused , like Ranger Neves pointed out, you will be hanging out with the winners. Ideally, you shouldn't even realize that someone has quit/gotten the boot. I don't even remember the guys who didn't make it....not even vaguely. In fact, I couldn't even tell you how many got cut. It didn't affect me or the few guys I had grown to trust, so I really didn't care. All that negative shit shouldn't even be entering your mind. Quitting, getting hurt, or getting kicked out are not options...don't even go there.

I got this from a friend now in Jump Week, en route to RIP.
Almost 50% of the dudes with RIP in their contracts quit when they met the Ranger Liaison.

The ranger liason he mentions is the person attached to airborne school to help people with ranger contracts and those wanting ranger contracts transition from airborne school to R.I.P. Weak minded people want to quit when airborne graduation occurs and everyone else is going on leave and you are getting picked up by the R.I.P. cadre. who commence smoking your ass.

Too Young,
I will tell you that you will experience "Shock and Awe". When you are picked up from Airborne school you had better be wired tight. I was the one of those Rangers who picked up students at Airborne School. My best advice to you is to not worry about anything else, but P.T. and more P.T., Know the Ranger Creed verbatim, and Ranger history is a good start. You will be scared as hell, but that will the beginning of your test to prove you have what it takes. Have a standard Ranger haircut, and shave. Make sure your boots and uniform are standing tall. Have all of your paperwork readily available and be able to stow it in short order. Have pen, paper, I.D. card and dog tags readily available for inspection. It also helps if you can run like the wind. Be prepared for a good smoking so drink lots of water.
When you get to RIP you will be inprocessed and briefed on the standards and conduct of the Ranger Regiment. If you violate them c-ya. Your mind and your judgement will be your best weapon in overcoming these obstacles. Follow every order, complete every task with vigor and enthusiasim. Too easy, Its mind over matter, if you dont mind it dont matter. Your motivation will be key.
The biggest thing I saw while working at RIP was failure to follow instructions. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL!! Many were dropped for being just plain stupid and not following the rules you will be briefed on. I have a book of incidents I documented that I refer to now and again for a laugh. Dont be one of those Soldiers. Hope this helps and good luck!!
Bottom line is dont fuckin quit!!

Maybe I had an easy RIP class , but I was having so much fun being trained by Airborne Rangers that I never considered it hard. Where a lot of the Basic/AIT and jump school seemed too watered down,RIP was to the point and the instructors were the best.When I got to battalion and I was getting smoked by Sp4s was when my hell started.
