Hello Rangers and others, my name is Matt, I am not a ranger... yet. I am serving as active duty air force overseas in Germany. My unit is the 52 Security Forces Squadron in Spangdahlem Germany. I graduated pre-ranger school this summer, and am now waiting until October so my unit will have money to send me to Ranger School. Right now I want to either stay in the air force and retrain to CCT, or when my tour is up go army and fly helos as a warrant officer. As for hobbies I climb, backpack, and am moving into mountaineering/alpine climbing. I joined this site to research and if nessecarry ask any questions concerning ranger training/prep. Thanks Rangers!

avidwanderer,

Thanks for serving our country. My family and I certainly appreciate your sacrifices. I was totally unaware that a AF unit in Germany offers pre-ranger training???

BTW, are you a Raven?

Negative, but I am working on that one. Hate to go to Ranger School as a leg...

Thank you, but the real thanks goes to those out on the front...

Also, I am not a Raven, you have to be at a base with big planes to do that. I am at a fighter base.

The pre-ranger class I attended was held in Shweinfurt Germany, at Camp Robinson. The class held by the 786th Security Forces Squadron (a small highly deployed unit made up of tabbed out SPs, and Ravens). The class ran in May. The 786th does not hold classes routinely, it was just an oppurtunity I lucked out with. It was run by the AF, but the majority of RIs were army, as was the majority of the class. 50+ joes and about 12 of us zoomies. Great fun, I was very impressed with the RIs vocabulary... found myself laughing and in pain in the FLR.

Thanks all for the welcome!

Very interesting. I had no idea. Thanks for the explanation.

You've already got your slot in the pipeline for CCT?

I hadn't heard of this, I wish you well. Sounds like some kind of plan.

Good Luck

Now that was a pretty damn good intro, Welcome to our site Soldier. And thanks for explaining that part about PRE-RANGER. However there is only ONE REAL PLACE THAT PRE-RANGER gets conducted in the same manner that there is only ONE PLACE TO GO FOR RANGER SCHOOL!!!! AND THAT'S FT. BENNING BABY!!! BETTER KNOWN AS RANGER COUNTRY!
