Great development in the road to getting women into Ranger School. How do you think this program will go?

I'm looking forward to the first female Ranger graduate, LTC Private RallyPoint Member. That will be historic. I'm glad to see this next step in the process.

I have a Female Sergeant at RTA right now. I am excited as I know she will pass. She is going to the pilot course as well.

It is Awesome to be a part of history through a Soldier which you trained.

I was also the Instructor for this Soldier at AIT.
