I only have lowly Ranger and Sapper school


From what I understand, getting the Ranger tab is not the same as "being" a Ranger. I have heard Rangers explain it but I guess what they are trying to say is that people who serve in the Ranger regiments did a lot more than just getting the tab.

Correct I was tabbed not scrolled. Which means I was technical "Ranger Qualified". In my unit (82nd) there were lots of tabbed Rangers and they were generally referred to as simply Rangers but everyone knew it meant they were Ranger Qualified. On the opposite end, you have non-Ranger Qualified soldiers serving in Ranger regiments, it has become more rare especially now that they are used in more direct action than in the past but it does exist.
