Honestly dude, because no one else will probably answer your question, here goes....... If you want one of those paths bad enough (like, very..) and prepare accordingly, you will most likely do fine. If you want Regt. as a stepping stone, or 18 Series because you want the extra pay, you won't. Now, I would advise following the board SOPs and lurking a long, long time....anything you could possibly want to know is already on here as a thread and is available with a search. Also, the BTDTs on here are mean....
MB:

Do you have a lot of experience in the Ranger Regiment?

I disagree with several of your points.
