Female RANGERS

Should not be long now.......

So when the female Rangers start taking over the leadership I fully expect to see many changes implemented:

No swearing while in uniform.

No dodge ball during recess/breaks.

No bullying.

Everyone is a winner.

"How to castrate an Army" by barack hussain obama




You know every time I see a Hollywood action movie the women always fight better than the men, always. I'm sure they will make great warriors.


More than 30 women have been selected for a potential Ranger Course Assessment next spring, Fort Benning announced.

The Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade chose 20 NCOs and 11 officers as observers and advisers for the assessment, according to a Facebook post on Monday by the Maneuver Center of Excellence at the post in Georgia.

The female soldiers were put through a week of training to acclimate them to the rigorous physical and mental challenges for soldiers earning the Ranger tab.

Pretty soon you won't even need to do a short arms inspection to tell a female Ranger from a male Ranger. While I went through in the fall and therefore merit only the basic Ranger tab, winter Rangers sew their tabs on with white thread. I am sure that female Rangers will take note of this and have a lace fringe adorning their tabs to distinguish them from the run-of-the-mill Ranger.

WTF are "observers and advisers" ? What is their role in all this?

Hey, you're pushing the females too hard.

Hey, you can't call that female a dirtbag.

Hey she can't low crawl any lower...Her boobs are too big.

Hey, etc etc etc

Don't get too excited about the women mentioned in this article. Based on the info we're tracking they are not and will not become Ranger Candidates. The women who will actually be attempting Ranger School have to pass the NG pre-Ranger Course at FBGA. 1st SFC(A)(P) started with 24 volunteers. We were given 11 slots to the pre-Ranger Course. We directed the CSUs to prioritize their candidates so we could develop an OML. All candidates were required to pass the same screening as males and the first LTC in their CofC had to sign their application (again - same criteria as males). When the counting was over we didn't have to worry about disappointing any qualified candidates; everyone who met standards has a slot in one of the three designated iterations of the NG pre-Ranger Course and IIRC a couple slots went back to USASOC. The first five female ARSOF volunteers will report for that course 16 JAN.
