You are correct....however, ranger school is just as you said, a leadership course for the Army and AF. In order to be selected to serve in one of the Army's Ranger battalions you must pass Ranger Indoc Program, or now called RASP (Ranger Assesment and Selecion Program). These are two totally different entities. Ranger school is much easier.

I haven't done either, but I've heard the complete opposite.

Guess it depends on who you ask. I guess it seemed that way because once you get to Regiment they PT the shot out of you so much by the time you go to Ranger school it is much less difficult. Don't know if someone you spoke to was from the regular Army or AF but yes, coming from a regular unit I'm sure it's much tougher. Regiment is a different world however from the regular Army.

I've talked to Marines that went through and they've talked to Regiment guys that went through and I have a buddy who was an instructor at Ranger school. The Marines I know say it's the best training they ever had. The instructor buddy says that guys from the regiment pass at a much higher rate because the regiment has spent years bringing them up to Ranger school standard before they even go but if you took a guy off the street he'd have a much easier time passing RASP over Ranger school.

SEALS!!!
