Two women who completed the previous phase in the mountains of northern Georgia arrived with about 125 men over the weekend, reaching the home stretch of the famously grueling Ranger course. A third woman remains in the mountains, where she was “recycled” along with 60 male students, allowing them to try again. The three women remain from a historic group of 19 that tried Ranger School for the first time begin.

Statistically, they will make it!

Good for those hand picked and groomed women.
My questions remain the same:
- what does it prove for the Army? although a tough course it remains nothing more than TRADOC school, nothing more. Is 2 of 19 who were specifically picked groomed and trained graduating, enough to change policy? I'm all for anything that improves overall leadership development in our Junior Officers and NCOs. Ranger school.... Not really that big a deal to me.

After all of the "blood, sweat and tears", receiving "the tab", isn't it a slap in the face, to not allow them to join the Ranger Battalion. When they receive their "tab', they have proven themselves. Don't waste it...RLTW.
