Woman Is Termed Qualified For Green Beret Unit

Before you freak on me this is from 1981!!!!

But has anyone worked with or know Capt. Kathleen Wilder? I would be interested to here a stroy or two.

Look under the training paragraph


Quote:
Training
A completely new recruit to the United States Army, who has signed on for the Special Forces, starts his (all United States Special Forces are closed to females, though one woman completed and graduated from the Special Forces Officer Course in 1980, thus becoming the only Special Forces-qualified female[1]) training in Fort Benning, Georgia.
