Post; "Ranger Tab" tattoo's.


Any current or inactive Rangers in here? If so, or anyone else for that matter can answer this I would appreciate it. Do all Rangers upon completion of Ranger training get the "Ranger" tab tatoo'ed on themselves?

I wouldn't get any tattoo if for anything it's because of anonymity. No use having a tattoo giving away who you are if you're ever in a situation where you must pretend to be someone else. Happens in every day life too... mostly in foreign countries during travel etc.

It's more of a choise thing than requirement....some do some don't but I wanted to hear from folks who had or had not and they're reasons why.

To a Ranger, the tab isn't as important as the scroll. I've seen very few Rangers with tab tattoos that did not involved the 75th Scroll - but I have seen a lot of Ranger school graduates with them. When I was in the 75th (back when Christ was a Sgt.) scroll, skulls, and the motto "Sua Sponte" script tattoos were popular.
