Can the women candidates throw a hand grenade far enough to not be killed or wounded by the grenade?

All Army Basic Trainees throw 2 grenades, men and women. Let's try to do this better, please.

Yes sir I threw my two at Ft. Dix in 1967. Threw them and took cover behind the grenade pit wall after throwing each one. You can throw them and survive on the grenade range even if the throw is short. My question is how far can an average female soldier throw the grenade. Only place I’ve seen a grenade pit is on a grenade range. A short throw with out that protection can be fatal.

As far as the snake eating I would suggest making a chili and simmering it for a while.I’ve got a good one that works well for venison, pork or beef. Probably would work for snake. Will send it if you want it.

All kidding aside Thank you for your service and the deployments you were sent on. Best wishes on your career and stay safe.
