First enlisted woman graduates from US Army Ranger school

16.8K

I know this question and type of story have been up before when the first two female officers passed Ranger School, Congratulations to her if the standards were the same as for the males...but if they changed, modified, or bent any rules because she's female, then I say it's a disgrace and she shouldn't wear the tab.

Holding the standards is all about safety for all.

Except its not happening, too many people involved telling the same stories about much lower standards to get the females through the training.

MAJ John Douglas - sometimes that's true and sometimes it isn't, I've found.

So I'll clear some air on this. I went thru as an SF E-6 and passed without recycling. It truly sucked but enhanced my skills. 13 soldiers made it with me from start to finish out of the 300. Its an amazing challenge for everyone who went. In June my wife ran a marathon at Camp Merrell GA. This is the 2nd phase of Ranger School or Mountain course. It was an awesome timecapsule and impressed they kept it old school, nothing modern, sand tables, open floor barracks..etc. The Cadre welcomed me as a long lost brother. I found a CPT writing an OP order to present as an example to the incoming class. I did ask about the standards, if they changed and tried to expel any rumors. Not taking anything away from their accomplishment, the women who attended were studs but were given allot of exceptions that others didn't receive.

MAJ John Douglas - that's a privacy issue. If they want to offer her another shot, so be it.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - A woman just back from having a baby is capable of passing Ranger School?

MAJ John Douglas - I don't know. I passed my PT 6 weeks after having mine. I am not a medic. I have to assume she was medically cleared to do all that was asked of her. I am not going to sit at the distance and make judgements without facts.

It's one thing to pass a pt test and something else entirely to go through Ranger school.http://usdefensewatch.com/2018/09/the-ranger-school-conspiracy/
