Welllllll lets have them start by defending a ship at say USS Mahan late Monday night at a Naval Station...say at night in Norfolk harbor and see how well they do. Give them a sidearm and have them stand post. If they can master weapon retention and closed quarter combat....
oh that’s right, she got disarmed and a MAN got killed defending her. Maybe have two women man the post with sidearms.....maybe three?
...and then you get to the ability test to do real damage control...
