Military branches say they will continue to open jobs for female troops

http://www.fayobserver.com/military/...e4a21fd73.html

"Military leaders will continue to broaden opportunities for women in each of the four service branches, officials said.

Speaking during a panel discussion at the 2014 Military Reporters and Editors Conference in Washington, representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines described efforts to open more positions to women...."

This article contains the number of jobs still closed to females - damn few.

I'll say it again - The main job for a Green Beret is on the A Team. Most GB's will fight like hell to stay there or get back there.

But within 2 years of the first crop of female GB "Graduates" hitting the A Teams most will have gone on to the B Team, C Team or other GB slots as far from the A Team as they can get.

Would make for some interesting stats but I'm sure big Army will not want to release them.
