Let's change the scenario....there was a thread last week (?) about a AA dude in the Navy who was cut from fighter school because his score wasn't good enough. IIRC, he barely got in with a score of 50.4 on a minimum of 50 needed.

Who do you want landing the plane?

Her? or Him?

If you can land a plane in the dark on a pitching carrier deck and catch the third wire, I'll fly with you any day.

And there’s that drop dead beautiful Leah Gabrielle on Fox News who is also a former Navy F-18 pilot who had a problem with her A/C and yet got it “back to the boat!” Here’s to these women, and here’s to the US Navy who trained them to have these extraordinary skills and human presence!

THE WOMAN IN THE ARENA

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
