So who are the first female Rangers?

Both of them West Point graduates. Griest, a 26-year-old military police officer from Orange, Connecticut, and Haver, a 25-year-old Apache helicopter pilot from Coppers Cove, Texas, will get their Ranger Tabs alongside 94 male counterparts in a Georgia ceremony on Friday in Fort Benning.

With no Doubt they have proven themselves. This isn't something that you just realize one day that I am going to do. Both of them put their time and are now Rangers.

Kudos to them both.

I am hoping for the day when I can see CPT Private RallyPoint Member's name among the list of Ranger School Grads.

congrats to the 2 First ever Female Rangers! They have not only succeeded in an endeavour that less than 1% of the 1% even attempt, They have broken the mold and opened the minds of people everywhere.

Having the Ranger tab alone does not make them Rangers.

Recycled how many times? Used to be none. Standards were much higher. Why have they been lowered? Used to be Best of the Best Now with Soo many chances to Recycle now just an obstacle course get enough chances most anybody passes. Army has given up Quality for Quantity. SAD
