Mountain phase will do them in. It caused me to cycle out twice. Never got my tab. Lots of good, strong men never get their tab. Mountain phase is a Hillary.
I knew a kid who broke his ankle in Ranger training back in the early `90s. It was just a freak accident. He was tough and strong and smart. And I’ve never seen someone so disappointed.
How would you like to be him in 2015, knowing you didn’t make it while some young woman is passed along because she didn’t have the same obstacles?
It’s a recipe for hard feelings, bad morale and disrespect. But that doesn’t mean anything to Obama and his career brass toads.
Camp Merrill was indeed tough. The blueberry pancakes were the best part. Did not care for the cabins or Mount Yonah and the steep slopes. Loved the seven second DZ with eight jumpers out of a UH-1H. What I winder is how a woman’s physiology is going to deal with many days with rank swamp water and poor hygiene during jungle phase at Eglin. I remember morning feet checks at RI changeover. I wonder if they’ll have special care for the ladies.
