Getting bored with civilian lifestyle. I have a good job and I am not hurting for anything but I am just bored with it. I dont drink I dont smoke. I am 6'1 175 lbs of lean muscle I run and lift weights. I am wondering how hard this army rangers thing really is? What all do they do in the army?

Mate, what Hollywood never shows about military life (and that includes "elite" units) is the amount of downtime between the fun stuff. Ever hear the phrase "hurry up and wait"? You get lots of that. Probably more so with Tier 1 units. Timing and being ready to go when the light turns green means getting set to go, then waiting. Sometimes you can wait hours or days, and then be told the op is called off.

Springing an ambush can be the most exciting 30 seconds of your life.... preceded by 8 hours of watching grass grow and pissing in your pants.

My point is, it's not all fast-roping and kicking doors.

Weeks of boredom - ten minutes of action - weeks of boredom.
The glamorous life of the elite.
