This is to the best of my knowledge and memory:

First off, no matter where you go, your commission source, i.e. West Point, ROTC, OCS will not decide if you can get to the Regiment or not - it's based on you! Your OERs (Officer Evaluation Reports) based on your performance will decide if how well you've lead is enough to get you in.

Also, I believe you must be a 1st Lieutenant before even considering a slot as a Platoon Leader (normally 2nd Lieutenants) in the Regiment.

As for joining the Regiment - You need to make it through Ranger School - and I'm not sure about ROP...
