Is it common for a Special Forces Soldier to be assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment?

I am curious about this topic based on the recent issue of a U.S. Air flight attendant refusing a request from a 1SG to hang up his Class A uniform coat.

As stated already there are not SF soldiers in Ranger Regt. Most of the slots there are 11 series and "V" coded. There shouldn't be any 18 series slots there. The unit isn't composed to have any. It would not make it possible. A soldier there could be SF qualified if he left SF and went back 11 series. I could see this for a 11Z or an 11A.

I think he is talking about the long tab not the MOS. He prob just doesn't know the diff.

I would say that if he wants to have certain advancement positions under his belt such as a 1SG position, he would have to drift out of SF at some point, and a Ranger Bn would be the ideal choice to keep him in the SOCOM community. SF is, after all a pretty rank heavy organization, and there are only so many slots for command positions like 1SG, CSM, etc.

A little bit. Most SF Soldiers stay in the community, but will occasionally go outside for broadening assignments.
