I remember a true story I read regarding the Israeli Army during a tense battle in the 1967 war where the Egyptians or the Syrians had just forth a battle and had lost to the Israeli troops...... When they found out it was a unit that consisted of female soldiers,many "committed suicide" because of the shame they felt by losing to the women.........If I'm not mistaken it's one of the books I sent out to one of the guys last year,I believe it's titled "Tip of the Spear",but not certain..... Anyway, it's an interesting thought......... I don't believe a women would be able to cut it on an a ODA team,even if she would have somehow passed SFQC....... Just my opinion,an old fart that served "before women" were in the 82nd,11th or 101st Airborne....... Direct question to our super ladies out there is simply this,do you believe women should be able to serve on a SF ODA team.....

Big Teddy __________________ I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it. Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
