.From what I have been told they use Ranger school as a steping stone for SF school, I have head or people skiping Ranger but its super rare from what I understand.
Hope you can learn a few languages pretty easy
I would wait till you are done with scool, that what I am doing.

trust me bro...i'm an E-4 SrA in the Air Force and you would be dumb to enlist with 99 hours already completed. if you really want to go ranger or any special forces for that matter...get your degree. the enlisted force structure is **** and the pay is fair but not for the amount of stress and effort you put out on a day to day basis. officers are where the money and good jobs are. it will be tough to compete for a special forces officer position but if you make it...you will have one of the coolest jobs in the military. take it from me i'm an aircraft mechanic and i regret not gettin my degree every time i see F-16's take off and think wow...these guys get paid to do barrel rolls and play in the sky at 20,000+ feet every day and they call it work. get your degree.

Guys, speaking stricktly from an SF point of view, if you want to do cool **** in SF, NCO is the only way to go. And I'd have to re-do selection, lol **** that. But in all seriousness, an SF letter of intent pre-9/11 is nothing like an 18x mos. Trust me on this, I have first hand experiance. You WILL NOT GO TO RANGER SCHOOL until you graduate the q-course. Once you enter the world you're stuck here until you fail out, quit, or graduate. Reg army and 18x both.
On a side note, if you pass SFAS you could attend ranger school before reporting to SWCS. But we won't send you there while in the course.

Side note, when my buddy went in it was pre 9/11.
