A woman aiming to become the first female Navy SEAL officer quit about a week into the initial training, Task and Purpose reported Thursday.

The unidentified female candidate dropped out in early August during a three-week course in San Diego that began July 24. It was the first assessment of potential SEAL officers before they can be sent on to more grueling courses, according to the website, which cited "multiple Naval Special Warfare Command sources."

She was just too fat and out of shape for starters.

Better have a Congressional investigation to see if her feelings where hurt. Gotta give her some credit for wanting to be the best she could.

I doubt she was the first in the class to quit and I doubt she will be the last.

Was she a cisgender female or a tranny female?

>>I doubt she was the first in the class to quit and I doubt she will be the last.

But she was the “historic first” female quitter.

It’s all about the “historics” now. Or is it hysterics?

This is obviously fake news. The first female navy seal was Demi Moore.

I think BUDS & SEAL training have about a 95% washout rate.

Good question these days. Don’t take any description for granted. Seeing is knowing the whole picture, most the time.

From a woman: ladies the only male you will be able to beat are those skinny-panted metro-sexual males AND they “ain’t” enlisting in the military.

Did she get a sing-off from the instructors?

I’m glad you’re home
Now did you really miss me
I guess you did by the look in your eyes (look in your eyes, look in your eyes)
Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes (put away the dishes) Then you and me can rock-a-bye

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell

It was a DOR (Drop On Request). Only a small percentage of Navy Seal candidates ever make it all the way through. The training is brutal - not just physical but mental. Very few men are tough enough to complete the program. Sending women through this training is just crazy. Political correctness run amuck.

Kinda hard to pass a 6 month Seal training course when you flip out once a month.

Why is this news? Are we supposed to think there was discrimination? that the evil men went patriarchal on her? that she got paid 78% of what a man gets paid?

She failed. End of story.

This will guarantee that there will be a big push to pussify the Seal training coming soon.

Yep, with ludicrous claims comparing the school to continuous rape.

If she’s black she will also file a racial discrimination lawsuit.
