I'm not a Ranger, nor I have been to RIP. That being said, the contract guarantees you a chance to go through RIP(selection process for aspiring Rangers). After that, it is up to the cadre to decide if you meet the Ranger standards. If the individual is saying that he was cut b/c of where he was standing in line, there may be more to the story than he is letting on.

We have a couple of Rangers on this site, maybe they will give you a better answer. I'm sure though, there answer will be more blunt than mine.
