The girls failed navigation, huh?
Is that like driving with your wife and she is giving directions?
In the spirit of full disclosure, My wife is always right.
Even more frightening is the fact that not one female soldier in the assessment group of roughly fifty soldiers passed land navigation.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is good that we keep on top of these things.
However, I do not want any FReepers losing any sleep over things we can’t change until soon, only 8 months.
Trump is going to be our nominee. Sometimes I love him. Sometimes I hate him. Never in between :)
But if his followers hold his feet to the fire in office, MUCH of what we dislike now will change.
Just like Rudy tossed Sharpton and Jackson (lower case on purpose) aside and they had NO say in NYC during his reign, the same will once again hold true for the worst on the left.
They will be SHOCKED at how quickly a country can swing back to where it should be and the insanity will end.
More business as usual.
My wife is always sure about how to get there right up to the time we get lost.
‘The three women were used by the Army to promote a crackpot feminist agenda...’ Yes, sir. That is correct. I pity the young ladies and hope they forgive their superiors who exploited them and wasted their hard work. Kind of like Arianda Gutierrez, Miss Colombia, who was given the crown for Miss Universe and then told to give her crown to another girl. Cruel joke. I hope Arianda forgives the Pageant directors for wasting her hard work.
My guess is that authentic Rangers know the score and remain detached from the garbage from DC.
Bob, your wife is unique in the world of navigation.
Note:
IMO those who need the “/s” should go put their big boy
pants on.
How do you flunk Land Nav at Fort Carson? It is a desert with terrain features. And, Norad is ALWAYS in view. During the day, Norad is that big mountain with antennas suck all over it. At night, it is that big mountain that has a bunch of lights on top.
I have suspected all along that the women "graduates" were given special considerations...a little extra sleep, a little extra chow, and damn sure they got shower runs. Biology is a b!tch, and I doubt there's a woman anywhere that can go through what Ranger candidates do, with only limited hygiene opportunities, and not get very, very sick.
This is Jessica Lynch, take two. What we need are some of their classmates to step forward and tell us what really happened.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
make them a patrol of 3 and don’t send any men with them...
Part of the problem with what you suggest is that Trump’s “political followers” appear coming from all across the political spectrum. Frankly, I think Trump will do what “feels right” to a northeastern liberal and supporters be d@mned. There will always be a crowd cheering him whether he goes Left or Right.
Bfl
Think how much better the battles of the Bulge, Chosin Reservoir, or Ia Drang Valley would have gone if the combat ranks were about 30 percent women!
It’s pretty easy.
Lower the standards.
Allow for quotas.
and wella, you have obammy.
Bump for later...
My son was 2nd bat at the time. The word did get out...but very quietly because of the fear of repercussions. Total fraud.
Yup, images of bayonetted frozen female bodies would end this foolishness PDQ.
