Take a higher observation
Re-define your question...
Aveage age of a Ranger in Battalion, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Ranger Regiment, etc. is 18-23. He is highly motivated, ready for work, training all the time. He is under the direct supervision of someone age, 20-24, rank of E5/E6.
Rangers not in Battalion, (the other guys), but in Cmbt units, 25th ID, 82nd ABN, etc., hold leadership positions.
The average age of a SF Team, from TM SGT to new guy just out of the "Q" is 32 years old. Rank structure for a complete team is very different, E6 to O3, with a CW3 in there just for fun.
While traveling abroad, only the SF community performs security "for heads of state" outside of Secret Service, for the simple reason, SF can perform complex roles, interface with foreign nationals and most importantly, work unsupervised.
Choose the Ranger path to begin a great career as a well trained infantry rifleman. When you're ready for Grad School and earn a PhD in diplomacy, submit your application for the University of JFKSWCS, followed by the continual education requirements of your CO/BN commanders. For the enlisted - expect your brain to melt in ANCOC/O&I and the SGM Cource/Academy. If you have any interest in becoming an officer, you can look forward to IOBC, IOAC, CASQIII, etc.
Good Luck!
