On 10 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Ranger Tab. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Though not nearly as long or detailed as most B-class articles, I imagine there isn't much more to be said on this subject. You've even included a picture. Looks good to me. LordAmeth 11:16, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About the only thing left that I can think of is a brief history of the tab; when was it introduced, possibly the first recipient(s), if known, and the reason for the selection of the colors - the original WWII Ranger unit patch was a blue and gold. I've heard that the decision for black and gold was made by an officer who wanted to incorporate West Point's colors, but I don't know if this is an army urban legend.--Nobunaga24 07:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The title "Ranger" is the ONLY officially authorized title in the U.S. Army other than rank. That means flatly that a private can address a Ranger qualified General as "Ranger" instead of by rank and NOT be in violation of any regulations. No other title is recognized in the Army but one's rank or merely "Ranger."

This is fundamentally untrue FWIW.⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 02:24, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Ranger Tab is below the Driver and Mechanic Badge in order of precedence? Not in this world. The Ranger Tab belongs in Combat and Special Skills Group 4. The Driver and Mechanic Badge is in Group 5. (See para 29-17, pg 288 and following, AR 670-1.)

I initially assumed the edit that inserted this order of precedence was some form of vandalism as it is so clearly out of line, but it appears to be a well-intenioned edit by a regular contributor. It is nevertheless clearly wrong. Unless anyone can explain otherwise, I will remove this order of precedence in a couple of days. 98.255.89.22 (talk) 19:25, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, basically, Marines who complete Ranger School aren't authorized to wear it and it has recently been decided that Airmen can. Okay, so where does that leave Navy personnel who complete Ranger School? My cousin completed Ranger School when he was in the Army, and he told me that there were personnel from all branches there; ALL branches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.232.181 (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't really make sense, if the Special Forces Tab has a page, then why not the Ranger tab? The Ranger Tab has much more notability. Whoever deleted it should be banned from ever making edits to military history pages again. I welcome all present and past Ranger qualified users to add to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karhunkynsi244 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not your place to determine who gets to edit this page; Ranger qualification is absolutely not required to edit literally any page on Wikipedia. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 02:25, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're taking my comment too literal, and you might take Wikipedia too seriously. I was simply welcoming Ranger qualified Wikipedia to contribute, not alienating others who have not had the distinction. Karhunkynsi244 (talk) 07:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
