Having to have gone to both and successfully have earned both tabs my opinion is each school had its own "degree of suck". Granted Ranger School was a marathon focusing on mainly ones own people skills and the mental toughness to not quit Sapper being the sprint is a "fire hose" of information being given in a short period of time and being able to retain whats being taught and applying it to combat situations In all both schools have earned my respect and im proud to wear both tabs.
Vote up. Vote down. MAJ Join to see 6 y. I've heard Sapper is more challenging from a mental, intelligence point as demolition calculations seem to fail some of the individuals. From a physical standpoint I can't see how Sapper could compare to ranger provided the length of the courses. SFC Join to see what are your thoughts?
SFC Join to see 6 y. The point I'm trying to make is this, Ranger is only more physical due to the duration of the course. For those of us who've been to Ranger School we all know the missions we were given weren't very complex challenging yes but NOT complex. You did not answer the question. Posted 4 y ago. So I have the privilege of having been a sapper instructor, who is ranger tabbed, and I also got to teach at PreRanger in Hawaii, so I may have a good grasp on this.
As an Engineer Soldier, you should be familiar with how to conduct demolition operations, and you can't really practice it before you attend unless your unit does some demo ranges.
However, you do need to be very familiar with how to conduct demolition calculations. Like knots, this is something you can master before attending! On this portion of our website, you can find a ton of resources to help you pass the Sapper Demo Calculations Test: Sapper School Demolitions.
The third is basic Patrolling. At the Sapper Leaders Course, they will teach you exactly how they want you to do specific operations, like the Ambush and Raid.
Eight hundred of the 1, points can be earned in the first two weeks of class. The instructors keep individual scores a closely guarded secret, so students won't get tempted to quit. Ascending and rappelling a feet-high cliff on Day 7 is worth points. Trainees then learn to use their best friend: explosives. They customize C4 and detonation cord in seven configurations to variously blast their way into a building. Causing damage like this — a breach seen from inside the target room.
One of the instructors likened the effect of this water-tamped charge to what happens when a 'linebacker hits a quarterback — it creates a large amount of force in a small area'. A water charge focuses a crippling blow, crumpling a metal door, and knocking it completely out of its frame. The silhouette charge, which creates a person-shaped hole in the wall, is perfect for granting access to invading forces.
They also learn to make expedient charges, meaning 'quickly customized and constructed,' which can stop enemy forces in their tracks or deny them access to roads and airfields.
They're pretty effective. Complicated math formulas tell the soldiers how close they can get to a blast. In addition to mastering their own weapons, the Sappers learn about and get tested on foreign weapons so they're prepared for any scenario.
On Day 7, the students practice climbing and rappelling from this tower. Aside from getting ready to tackle the cliff, the students learn how crucial good knot-tying skills are. Project maintenance.
