In Fallout: New Vegas, you meet many ranger NPCs, among which is Ranger Andy in Novac who seems to suggest that it's possible for the Courier to become one. I came to the conclusion of a possibility from a question the Courier asks Andy:

How does one become a Ranger?

to which Andy replies something along the lines of

Yew need to be the meanest, toughest, takenocrapiest sonuvabitch this side of the Jawjuh, hoo-wee!

(approximate quote)

Is there a way to become a Ranger, or am I just interpreting the dialogue wrong?

Nope, you cannot become a Ranger. They're a specific type or rank of faction solider (with the NCR in this case),

and you can't actually join any faction to be given an official rank with them.

However, it is possible to get hold of the NCR Ranger combat armor or patrol armor and dress as one, but there's no specific bonuses for doing so (and the usual results associated with wearing faction armour).

Aww, that sucks. I had the theme to Walker: Texas Ranger all memorized and stuff. :( – Ragnar Jun 10 '11 at 13:50

The armor isn't even that good. – Satanicpuppy Jun 10 '11 at 13:52
Looks pretty awesome, though... Although, I didn't even care about the armor that much, I just wanted to be Ranger Ragnar :P – Ragnar Jun 10 '11 at 13:55
