Is it possible for a PV2 or PFC to become a Ranger, or is it only for SPC and above?

PFC’s can go to Ranger School. Upon graduation, they can be promoted to SPC/CPL if their time in service is at least 12 months and are otherwise qualified.

I actually have a PFC I'm in charge of who just graduated Ranger School, he works hard everyday and is a model Soldier often times he inspires me to lead better.

Set your soldier up for success, make sure he is physically and mentally ready for it, I have multiple soldiers who are going to try for their Ranger Tabs, now So I'm helping them attain that 300 APFT, and making sure they graduate our PRC program.

Are you talking “Ranger Qualified”, or serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment as a Ranger?

If you are looking to go to the 75th, you need to have an MOS that will transfer and meet all the qualification to get into RASP. http://www.benning.army.mil/tenant/75thRanger/Recruiting.html
