The big question on RP seems to be how many women will pass Ranger School?
Perhaps that is the wrong question. The right questions is what can women do that men cannot. They can go unnoticed; appear to be a non threat to the enemy. I will give you a great example, Virginia Hall. She was a spy during WWII she disguised herself as a reporter and collected intelligence on the Nazi’s
Please read the following then comment.

SSG John Erny Women can do anything, and the ceiling gets higher every day. I think the only concern with Ranger school WRT is maintaining the sanctity of the standards. That is certain jobs and skills need specific standards regardless of gender. Women have come a long way.
1. On the morning of July 7, 1976, 119 women joined the Corps of Cadets, establishing the first class of females at The United States Military Academy at West Point. Of those, 62 women walked across Michie Stadium to graduate in May 1980, becoming second lieutenants in the Army, and making history in the process.
2. Major General Mary E. Clarke served as the first woman Commandant of the MP School and Commanding General of Fort McClellan (1978-1980), the first woman officer ever to command a major U.S. Army installation.
3. Kim Nichole Reed-Campbell is an officer and Senior Pilot in the U.S. Air Force, and believed to the be first female USAF pilot to fly CAS. She was decorated for piloting her A-10 Thunderbolt II back to base in southern Iraq after taking heavy anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) damage in aerial combat over Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.
4. Ann Elizabeth Dunwoody is a retired general of the United States Army. She was the first woman in U.S. military and uniformed service history to achieve a four-star officer rank, receiving her fourth star on November 14, 2008.

SSG John Erny
COL Charles Williams, Sir
We feared disapointing them (BC, BXO, DPO) more than just fearing the rank. I have seldom seen leadership so strong as theirs, you wanted to follow them.
The CSM great also, he was always walking around the rigger shed just to ask how every one was doing and give little bits of wisdom. Handley I think was his name?
I think that much tallent in one battalion is likely rare. I could be wrong.

COL Charles Williams, MG Mary Clarke is also notable for being the last director of the Women's Army Corps. Local legend is that General Clarke lived almost full time in this modest dwelling (now named Pelham Place) on Fort McClellan rather than the post commander's majestic quarters on Buckner Circle so that she might be closer to where the WACs trained and lived. On post is a small park named for her that commemorates the service of all those who served in the Women's Army Corps.

TSgt Hunter Logan, on my way to my alma mater, Auburn University, on 24APR15, I stopped by Moton Field in Tuskegee, AL (home of the Tuskegee Airmen) to see the changes that had occurred over time. Our college club used to skydive there in the seventies, and the hangar and operations building/tower were in ruins. The hangar is now a splendid museum.
COL Charles Williams, more of the "rest of the story"!

I think they can do just about anything within their own personal limits and the same goes for men
