Also, she went through the 21 day senior leaders course, not the true Ranger course that is 61 days.

No, Ranger school is a regular Army school run by Tradoc and not necessary to enter into Ranger Regt. RASP1 and RASP2 are selection courses to be accepted into the Regt. Most NCO’s and Officers applying for Regt need to be Ranger qualified(meaning a graduate of Ranger School) before beins assigned to one of the Battalions. However, support MOS’s don’t necessarily need to be a graduate of Ranger School. Most of your line troops are young infantry privates just out of basic, then jump school before attending RASP (in my day it was RIP) and upon successful graduation of RASP, they are assigned to one of the Battalions. If they remain in Regt, after a time they will be sent to Ranger school to earn their Ranger tab. As we used to say back in the day, the tab is a school, the scroll (unit patch) is a way of life. Read someplace that she is support officer, so my guess an supply, admin, intell officer that we be assigened to HHC or to the support company in on of the BN’s or even Regt HQ. Just my 2 cents, but personnaly I do not believe she should have been allowed to attend RASP. It’s a alpha male world, that has no use for token PC chicks.
