I am not belittling you, but I do NOT want you to get that chance and I will tell you why. Once they start letting women try out and all of them fail, then pressure will mount to lower standards to get some to pass.
Look at our present course to see that it is inevitable that “getting a woman to pass” will be pushed anyway possible to get it through. And the only way to ensure that happens is “to lower the standards”.
Now do you REALLY want to be responsible for this action? Are you that selfish? Because it will most likely get many people killed in the future.
I just want the opportunity to at least try it. If I fail I fail. But to be denied the opportunity is what is aggravating just because I’m female. There’s lots of other org’s like the forest service that has some kinds of physical standards but it’s nothing like the military. Just saying.
