The Inside Story Of How The Army Reduced Standards To Get Women Through Ranger Training

When the first integrated class started on April 19, none of the nineteen female candidates made it through the Darby phase of the course.

Eight were “recycled” back to the beginning of the phase to take a second crack at the course with the next class to show up, which is an entirely normal procedure. None of the eight passed on the second try. Of those eight, three candidates were given a third try but were required to start back at the very beginning and re-do RAP week, in what is known as a “Day One” recycled (as opposed to joining the next class after it completed RAP week, which is how the average recycle usually works).

  1. More PC sludge. No platoon leader loses track of the platoon three times in one short mission then completely loses a soldier and then gets a good fitness report.

  3. I saw the Sergeant did the range qualifying for 4 girls in our group! Bunch of Bullshit. We complained and were told to shut up or risk a court martial. Same as the 25 mile full gear day run, the girls got to ride in a Hummer!

  4. Northwest Woodsman: I spent 26 years on active duty in the army. Was an enlisted man in a special operations command, went through officer candidate school ,and then fixed wing flight school. When they began integrating women into combat support positions as opposed to administrative positions previously the only specialities open to them, they began lowering standards in order for them to qualify. One example was the military occupation specialty (MOS) as vehicle drivers. Problem was that when a vehicle had a flat tire, no female had the strength to change the tire. This sort of issue manifested itself in many MOSs that were opened to women.For physical training, females had completely different and much lower standards which enabled them to pass but even then, with difficulty. In my second career as a police officer, they, too, had lower standards for,their,physical training requirements plus none in my class passed the weapons qualification until they were given a private re-test on a weekend when, oddly enough, they all passed. So much for female equality. What total BS promoted by liberal:Marxist democrat social engineering politicians.

  5. It's not a bad idea to have some trained females, there might come a time when only a female would have under cover access to some situations.

  6. i think women have a lot of places that they can do well. The front lines of battle is not one of them, sorry to say that we do not have the physical strength that a man has. We can do well in other areas of the military. Women are a distraction and can put lives in danger if she can't pull her weight and a guy has to go back and save her behind. It could cost both of their lives. Sorry girls i as a female do not think you belong in this mans Army front lines of battle. There are places for you but the front lines in not the place!
