Opis

Army Rangers are experts in leading Soldiers on difficult missions under extreme conditions; and to do this they need rigorous training. For more than two months, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies. Those who successfully complete the training are awarded the coveted black and gold Ranger Tab. The U.S. Army's Ranger Course is one of the toughest training courses for which a Soldier can volunteer. A typical Ranger class will have a failure rate of over 50%. You can prepare for Ranger School success by: 1) Getting into top physical condition (fitness test, foot-marching, obstacle course) 2) Becoming an expert in land navigation 3) Practicing for the combat water survival assessment (swim test) Most of the failures happen in the first two weeks and are due to a lack of preparation in these three areas. After the ill prepared are weeded out, it's down to motivation/determination and academics. If you lack the motivation to endure the physical and mental hardships of the course, no amount of preparation will help. However, if you have the right attitude and are determined to become a Ranger, "How to Pass Your Patrol" will guide you through the various missions you will be evaluated on. This book was written as a sincere attempt to prepare the Ranger candidate for the real meat and potatoes of the course. At less than 100 pages, there is no fluff or filler -- just a focus on how you are measured by the instructors. Here you will learn how to make a positive impression and the things to do to get GOs on your evaluations instead of NO-GOs. Study this during your Ranger School prep and avoid the 'Gulag'.
