The Army is directing RTB to leverage the latest technology in the qualification of Rangers. Ranger School to be replaced by 9 weeks of online gaming? Make sure you watch the video or feel free to just post a responce. Research shows the generation gap requires change in approaches to training. Are kidding me.

Ranger School Replaced By 9-Week Long Online RPG

Ranger School is now a multiplayer role-playing video game, and harder than ever ... if you're not good at video games.

Nothing of significant value on Duffelblog, it breeds good fodder, and is SATIRE through and through. The troops love the Tongue and Cheek dialogue, but anyone quoting them as a source will quickly be ran out of the room. We all know that some of the online blogs are written quite well and I believe Duffelblog allows SMs to send in articles...so it isn't just one writer. A great resource for humor...I see posts all over FB quoting this source as fact. I've even been duped on a few of these.

Are they making this change for the benefit of the female candidates coming into the Ranger school pipeline? (No down votes, please ... I think that's a fair question.)

Everything from that site has no truth to what is what is posted there.
