a women made it

A women made it with removed obstacles. Granted, since a women made it then an average man should make it, would be nice if we had one standard and that standard would come from the very first year SFAS was started.
Second point; best feeling I had was passing phase I in 1986, incredibly hard course, really sucked, lost a lot of guys. Failed 18D, 19 year old pussy hound, deserved to fail. Got the pleasure of attending SFAS in 1990, passed with broken foot and broken wrist, great feeling to be selected. Started the painful and difficult task of the Q course....then reality began and the realization of the responsibilities and difficulty of being a competent team mate.
Congratulations on being selected, enjoy. Only allows you to attend the Q. Pass that...it allows you to be at the lowest level allowed on an ODA, there is no real graduation, there is only the privilege to do a difficult occupation most cannot do....there is always another rung on the ladder so finishing requires one of two things, death or quitting. Sorry for being wordy, 3rd glass of whiskey (yes, with an "e"). Good luck
