Is this more or less true? And if so would it be wise to go Ranger first the try to go through selection. Or even re-enlisted after Ranger as 18X? I am just trying to explore which avenue would make me as competent as possibly. I would like to end by saying thank you in advance for your responses and your service. Your dedication is inspirational.
YOU make you competent, not the path you choose to tread. If you want to know about SF, ask SF soldiers. (Or, better yet, thoroughly peruse an SF site such as this.) If you want to know about Rangers (etc.), ask a Ranger (etc.).
