RngrDoc75, Do you still monitor this site?

I am a former Ranger 85-89, and retired out of C/3/10 SFG(A) in 2008.

My son is currently in basic training with follow on AIT as a 68W.

He will be attending RASP after AIT and Airborne.

He asked me what training he will go through prior to being assigned to a Bn.

Your post was dated 2007; do they still attend the SOCM course prior to being assigned to a BN.

Appreciate your input.

Medics that graduate RASP, complete a pre-Socm course at regiment then attend Socm prior to being assigned to a bn.

Pre-SOCM now requires you to attend some college classes at the local community college as well. Also, SOCM itself has been expanded from 6 months to 9 months now. All Ranger medics are required to complete RASP, Pre-SOCM, and SOCM before assignment to a battalion.
