For the first time, a female sailor has completed the 37-week training course to become a Naval Special Warfare combatant-craft crewman (SWCC) on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.

The Associated Press reported the unnamed female sailor was one of 17 sailors to graduate and receive their SWCC course pins on Thursday. She is the first of 18 female sailors who have entered either the SWCC or Navy SEAL training pipelines to actually succeed.

Rear Adm. H.W. Howard III told the Associated Press, “Becoming the first female to graduate from a Naval Special Warfare training pipeline is an extraordinary accomplishment and we are incredibly proud of our teammate. Like her fellow operators, she demonstrated the character, cognitive and leadership attributes required to join our force.”

SWCC teams work closely with Navy SEAL units, operating specialized and heavily-armed watercraft in support of raids and other specialized operations. The Naval Special Warfare Command told the Associated Press , about 300 sailors complete the SWCC course every year, and there are between 760 and 800 in the force at any one time.

I like to think she completed it. Given today’s Navy, I simply do not believe it. Standards? Biden’s military don’t need no stinkin’ standards.

Biden’s people WILL fire on you. Count on it. They are the enemy. Sooner or later they will have to be dealt with. Hopefully, the 2022 elections will be a start.

I can’t argue that, I agree, she did not have to do what previous trainees did.

That assumption will be the unspoken thought in most minds during her Naval career, whether true or not.
Sort of like with Affirmative Action.
Some will come right out and say it.

Correction:

Graduating from a Naval Special Warfare training pipeline is an extraordinary accomplishment for anyone and we are incredibly proud of our teammate. Unfortunately, in today's climate, we can never know if she actually demonstrated the character, cognitive and leadership attributes required to join our force.”

Every single Hollywood movie actress can kick a$$ when facing trained mercenaries and killers. Yeah, no big deal.

Playing Devil’s advocate here.

Search on “CrossFit girls images”. These are definitely women, not roided up or trannies, and they are beasts. Their training programs are unreal. I’m sure many, not all, of them could handle whatever training a special forces training program could throw at them.

Just saying.

The US Military has lowered all standards in the name of the Leftist god Diversity. Obama’s purge of Patriots at the 05 and above early in his first term has resulted in people like Gen. Milley filling ALL the top officer ranks.
It will take a very concerted effort to reverse this. Including but not limited to an equal Purge of these PC Diversity worshipers.
President Trump was unaware of this situation and was totally blindsided by this. He had a vision of Admirals and Generals of the kind that won WWII.
He found out the hard way he was mistaken as every single one of them stabbed him in the back with the lone exception of Gen. Flynn whom the Deep State attempted to utterly destroy.

Congratulations sweetheart. How do you feel knowing that you took the place of better more qualified men?

I’m not inferring there aren’t any bad ass females but despite their physicality, they still lack the larger bone mass and superior musculature of males.

Women in special forces is all BS. They can’t do any of it. I know seals. I know what they went through. If the rules are kept the same no woman can become a green beret or a navy seal. What a friggin joke.

In general, yes, agreed. But there are many exceptions, much as it takes an exceptional man to survive SF training.

Very bad news!

Chicoms ecstatic!... Licking their lips...

Not to worry... Soon our beloved communist ruler will be mandating that our military, as a consequence of its main mission to combat climate change, will be switching to powderless ammo for all types of weapons’...
