Which, I understand, includes six complete chin ups.
Yeah, right. They passed. Got it. LOL...
I may be wrong, but I believe what they went through was merely a tactical combat course that is open to other branches of service. It is not Ranger Selection . While they rate to wear the RANGER tab those that complete the Ranger Selection and Assessment get the Ranger Scroll and go on to serve in a Ranger Bn
A sad day in several ways. Seeing photos of them with shaved heads, acting like men. It’s depraved.
These women are exceptional; ergo, they are the exceptions, Exceptions prove the rule: Army Ranger training is not for upward of 95% of young women. These two were the only finishers among 19 women. Even those that didn’t make it were undoubtedly better qualified than 99% of ordinary women.
Two women. How many men? There are very few men who can complete Ranger training. There are far fewer women. The failures are more telling than the successes.
How many (hand-picked) women can do what (many) men can? Apples to oranges!!!
I saw this syndrome back in the 70's as a USMC Naval Aviator. The Navy decided to allow female pilots. If a man wanted to become a Navy or Marine Pilot, he had to volunteer, qualify physically and mentally, endure and pass all the training and basically prove himself qualified every day to win the wings of gold.
In contrast, the Navy sent scouts all over the country searching out women who were already civilian pilots and massaged their journey through Navy Flight Training.
Then - "Oh, look; women can do what men do!"
Yeah, OK.
One positive thing I gleaned from the article is that both of these women had strong fathers who influenced and mentored them. Feminazis, take note.
is it routine to give men 3 bites at the apple?
And the calistentics requirements are very weak. I'm almost 60 and can pass that easily.
I suspect that the commanding general got a visit and someone said "The pRESIDENT is watching and he would be very disappointed if women did not make the cut. Oh and by the way, General, since your review is coming up it would be a shame if you didn't get another star."
Meanwhile the Russians, Chinese and the muzzies are laughing their asses off.
maybe we can put them in charge of the homes and trannys.
I suppose we won't find out the truth until soetoro is out of office and a retired Ranger spills the beans.
Which in the overall scheme of things and TO & E means nothing.
I hear there’s a base at Adak that needs a brand new Motor Pool Officer and adjutant!
I know I feel safer. When the first tranny brigade is formed we’ll really be safe.
Congrats!
Got to remember that Israel has had women in the armed forces for years.
Just how many attempts are they suppose to get?
"You people have no friggin' idea how to defend a country."
Some one on radio made the observation that both washed, then reapplied and only then passed - the kicker is that both are West Pointers, and WP always backs other WPers, None of the other gals were WP. Just more PC for unattractive women wanting to make rank. We’ll see how they do in the other Ranger Schools.
If Griest is a natural, why did she fail the first two times?
