Doubt it. Most men physically couldn’t become a SEAL if they absolutely wanted to.
I know I couldn’t of in my prime. My metabolism was too high, I dehydrate too easily, and cannot function on less than 6 hours sleep, and I’m man enough to admit it. That’s why I didn’t join the Marines with the papers right in front of me, I knew I couldn’t cut it at that age.
I don’t know of any woman who could pass SEAL training and operate at their level. They are simply not built for that, physically or mentally. That’s life, that’s reality.
Knowing your own limits and being honest about them makes you a better opponent. Just doing that. You can work on or compensate for weaknesses and build up strengths.
A good example comes to mind is LT Kara Hultgren, the Navy's first F-14 fighter pilot. Hultgren crashed on final approach whilr coming aboard the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CVN-72) in 1994. The court of inquiry found the cause to be pilot error. Hultgren was one of two women being groomed for senior command by the Navy. She was being fast tracked to be a squadron commander and eventual CAG (carrier air group) commander.
The problem was that the 29 year old Hultgren was not a good pilot. In fact the two women pilots being groomed for the senior slots had at least 7 Class A accidents between them. Class A accidents are very serious affairs in the naval aviation world: one Class A will get a pilot probationary status and two will usually get him permanently grounded. That's how it works for male pilots, but not for the girls being groomed.
Hultgren got herself into an aircraft emergency situation that was beyond her ability to recover from at low altitude. She crashed but her RIO (radar intercept officer) survived.
Details:
“On October 25, 1994, Hultgreen was killed when her F-14A, BuNo 160390, crashed on approach to USS Abraham Lincoln off the coast of San Diego after a routine mission. Finding herself overshooting the centerline, Hultgreen attempted to correct her approach by yawing the aircraft. This led to the left-hand engine suffering a compressor stall and lost power—a well-known deficiency characteristic of the TF30-P-414A engine when inlet air was no longer flowing straight into it. The F-14 NATOPS flight manual warned against excess yaw for this reason. Loss of an F-14 engine results in asymmetric thrust, which can exceed rudder authority, especially at low speeds.
After aborting the approach, Hultgreen selected full afterburner on the remaining engine, causing an even greater asymmetry. This, combined with a high angle of attack, caused an unrecoverable approach turn stall and rapid wing drop to the left. The radar intercept officer (RIO) in the rear seat initiated ejection for himself and Hultgreen as soon as it was apparent that the aircraft was becoming uncontrollable. First in the automated ejection sequence, the RIO survived. However, by the time Hultgreen's seat fired 0.4 seconds later, the plane had rolled past the horizontal, and she was ejected downward into the water. She was killed instantly. The entire event unfolded in less than 20 seconds.”
