The U.S. Air Force is being accused of bending the rules and pushing a female officer through the Special Tactics Officer (STO) program despite allegations she repeatedly quit the training. The Air Force told American Military News the allegations are “factually incorrect or missing context” and say training standards are different now compared to years before.
The allegations were raised by an anonymous Air Force combat controller and first shared via Twitter on Wednesday by Brian Kimber, an Air Force Pararescue (PJ) veteran, journalist and podcaster. Kimber’s tweets were reposted the same day by Navy SEAL veteran and Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who called on the military to address the allegations if they’re true, and warned against bending training rules.

This is why I said there was no need to drop standards.
The USAF demands females graduate every training program to the point they literally will pass them in every test as they fail those tests. This includes the special operations training programs. Gotta have females. My unit relegated them to desk jobs, but they wore the patches. It was sickening.
It’s ridiculous
Women are 99.999999% not up to it
The reason men protected women since before Megiddo is not because we’re evil but because women needed it and civilization required it
Then you’ll fail recruiting quotas.
False. There are plenty of qualified candidate without lowering standards.
They are not volunteering, which is the point. Resume conscription, the problem goes away.
You are out of touch.
We’re you ever in the military?
Out of touch? How so? I served 22 years on active duty with over four years serving in hazardous fire zones, to answer your question.
