ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The U.S. Naval Academy is preparing to open its screening process for Navy SEAL training next year to women who are juniors at the academy, the superintendent said Monday.
Vice Adm. Walter "Ted" Carter told the academy's Board of Visitors at their quarterly meeting that the school is waiting for specific guidance from the Navy before definitely opening next spring's screening. He noted it could take longer before female midshipmen will take part in the rigorous 24-hour marathon screening process.
"We'll be ready to put women through the screener as early as next year," Carter said. "I don't know that we could move any faster, but it could be longer depending on what the details of the policy decisions are."
The superintendent's comments come less than a week after Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the military will open all combat jobs to women.

ReplyDeleteSo we are going to send our mothers and daughters to kill people.
ReplyDeleteBut considering all the sons and fathers are apparently turning into spineless sissy babies, I guess we do not really have a choice.
Something is wrong when all the boys want to be girls and all the girls want to be boys.
Sounds great until the 99.9 % of women who don't want to join the service get a draft notice.
ReplyDeletewonder how that will work out when they are all huddle in a group naked in freezing water to stay warm during boot camp
ReplyDeleteThey'll be sucking up all of the admin jobs when they become pregnant.
ReplyDeleteFor all the older people their are 10s of thousands of women in combat. Know need for the draft of 40 years ago because so many women have volunteered. Yes women are in special forces some have kids at home. Sooooo stop showing your age and insecurities.
ReplyDeleteAmerican women are weak and inferior compared to the women in Israel who must serve in the military.
