Ranger certification

If you are talking about going to the Ranger School, it will depend on what branch you pick.
If you are Infantry or going into non-Infantry position coded for Ranger qualification, you should be sent to Ranger school after graduating from your basic course.

If you DS branched Infantry, he will definitely go to Ranger school. I know Italy might be different, but I have seen plenty of Infantry officer still going overseas without Ranger tab. I don't remember any of my classmates (WP and IOBC) getting their assignment changed because they didn't get Ranger qualified). Of course in my days, certain BDEs in light divisions didn't give line infantry platoon leader position to LTs with no Ranger tab. Assuming your DS picked Infantry, there is a chance of him going straight into a staff positions (i.e. assistant, assistant S3) if he doesn't get Ranger qualified.
