The Mediocre Infantryman’s Annotated Ranger Handbook

From the Author of The Mediocre Infantryman’s Guide to Ranger School

“Rangers Lead the Way!”
Let This Book Show You How.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to earn that coveted Ranger tab and shoot, move, and communicate like a Ranger, wonder no more. The Mediocre Infantryman’s Annotated Ranger Handbook is here to deliver unfiltered, no-BS wisdom from someone who’s been through every phase of the suck—in some cases twice. Ranger Goldsmith, Iraq war veteran and self-described mediocre infantryman, brings his signature wit and sarcasm to this annotated version of the Ranger Handbook, turning military doctrine into a hilariously practical survival guide for the rest of us.

Inside you’ll find:

• Tips to Not Get Yourself Killed: There are a hundred ways to die at Ranger School.
• The Real Priorities of Work: Spoiler alert: You’ll sleep when you’re dead.
• Gold Nuggets of Ranger School Lore: Includes why carrying the machine gun (and hating every second) might just make you a hero.
• More Info that You Will Need: Supplemental photographs, diagrams, and vignettes to illustrate critical Ranger Weapons, equipment, concepts, and history.

This isn’t your average field manual. It’s like your slightly grumpy, always-funny squad leader scrawled notes in the margins just for you—because he wants you to succeed, and come back in one piece – or at least two pieces duck taped together.

Why is this the best book on the market? Because it’s not just theory—it’s annotated by someone who’s been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. You’re not just learning the doctrine; you’re learning the real-life hacks to apply it when you’re neck-deep in mud and misery.

Don’t be mediocre—be a Ranger, and increase your chances of becoming one with this invaluable book in hand.
