So have they said exactly how they are going to retool the course requirements so as not to be sexist?

has chosen 11 officers and 20 noncommissioned officers as observers and advisers for the course. OK, now I don't see the point.

So have they said exactly how they are going to retool the course requirements so as not to be sexist? Sure, they are going to have a separate course for men and women that is easier for women. Separate requirements on fitness and strength. When taught hand to hand combat, women won't have to fight men.
Now, we only need to get our enemies to tone it down when they are facing women.
Men will die as a result of this.

I was recycled twice for Ranger school. Never got the tab. Mountain phase is going to weed them out REAL quick.

I was recycled twice for Ranger school. Rolled ankle/broke ankle. Both during MTN phase. FWIW.
Still have my Airborne, Air Assault, and Pathfinder Badges.

Retooling the course just because women will be attending is sexist.
I predict that if they are lucky only 2 will pass. If that many.

I don’t have a problem in finding women a place in the function something akin to “Ranger”. If they can pass the physical and mental testing along with other required skills, more power to them.
It is when they start relaxing the historical requirements for “Ranger” to fit “women” is when I have a problem. You can do it, or you can die.

They won’t relax mens’ standards....they will make exceptions for women and call it ‘equal’.

Agreed, and find it hard to believe requirements will not be relaxed.

Both men and women will die as a result of this.
Unless your country is directly under attack, it makes no sense to have women in combat.

That also caught my eye. Could anyone who’s been through it tell us what’s the difference between observers and advisers or those who are normally just going through the course? Or is there any?

That’s not all. The female “graduates” will become staff “advisors” in the Ranger Training Brigade for future classes.

I got lucky in Mountain Phase. Toughest weeks of my life. I came down for the 24 hour refit between field problems and had a fever of 102.3. I could hardly move and no one would sit next to me because of the mucus coming out of every hole in my face. I sat in the corner of sick call and cried because I thought I was going to be sent home.
They put me on bed rest, allowed me to eat in the chow hall, and gave me pills the size of my pinky. I woke up after 18 hours of sleep and had a temp of 97.8. Those pills are amazing.
We had more than a few guys fall on the mountains and go to sick call. They were gone the next day.

This is all fixed up front. Those “advisors” are pre- selected to be the enablers to make all of this happen. They may as well just tab these girls right now and save a bunch of money. Excuse me while I puke.
