Was it the same standard or affirmative action?

RTAC at Benning was no joke. It prepped me very well for Darby Phase. Nothing, however, could prep me for Mountain Phase. Almost killed me. If they keep THE SAME standards then I guess I can't really say anything.
They'd better not get rid of the slit trench!

Two of the 5 are likely to suffer injuries during the actual Ranger Course, and at least one more will fail for lack of stamina or inability to pass the required patrols. My prediction is that 2 might graduate.

They used to have an annual rattlesnake roundup in Freeport, FL. Rangers from Eglin AFB would always be there serving free rattlesnake.
I don’t guess they cooked it that way in the field but they would cut them up, batter and deep fry them. Those who tried it said it was good. It actually looked good but I just couldn’t quite get up the nerve to try it.

Men pass the men’s standard on the PT test and women must pass the women’s standard. Pre-Ranger is much more than the PT test but it is not equal from the start.
It is the same for other MOS areas. A woman Engineer officer must meet the female PT test requirements.

What civilians don’t know about courses that are to improve our military readiness, is that when women show up, real soldiers lose those slots, there are never enough slots.
I had a very good chance, almost a sure thing of getting to go to French Commando school in the 1980s but some females from the MI battalion we were attached to got involved making demands, and the French just dropped the plan entirely.

Hopefully that means they aren’t bending standards to pass women.

Where are the rest of the statistics? How many fags dropped out? Transgenders? Crossdressers? How about androgynous lesbians trapped in a man's body?
I will say this bluntly and for only one reason; the survival of our republic. This PC bull crap needs to stop in our military. Women do not belong in combat. They do not belong in combat units. They can serve the nation in other ways, like being faithful wives to the men who go to war. The time, effort and money going to PC bull crap weakens our nation. The lack of focus it creates weakens our nation. We need to focus on killing and breaking things in the most economical manner and stop giving a crap about political correctness.

What’s next, SEALs? Puppet 0dumbo is weakening America just as the Muslim-controlled U.N. wants him to.

But look at how effective they've been as voters? /s

Don't expect any improvement when Hillary rolls out, new facelift and all. She'll reappear as soon as all the stitching heals.
