Wenches have been around since Eve. Now, all of a sudden, they're capable of becoming commandoes?

We, SF, keep being the norm. I think we could just be that. Everyone else in SOF and that Special Forces TAB is what then??

Speaking about TABs,do the female warriors that passed the CST training get a TAB of some sort showing that they passed the course?............

Herr Goebbels would be proud of this article.
So now, passing a PT test and humping half of the weight and distance of an EIB road march is a Herculean feat?
Please.

Hm, claiming that these broads are SOF is like saying that changing airplanes in Dallas means you are a Texan...

To counteract the lower standard of training (physical and otherwise) that they are subject to and must ultimately meet, and which will probably reassure some of you, is the fact that there are certain METT-TC dependent mission criteria which would preclude CST from going out with the primary AF.

No, no tab or anything.
The issue with psyops/ca is the kids go from AIT to a unit. There is no gate to pass thru besides AIT (hardly a gate).....SOCOM has been articulating this to that CMF and they came up with this program...not to be 'operators' per se but to weed out weakl links. However, I suspect they feel loke 'operators' now!

They at least have the courage and desire to go into a war zone and serve their country which is better than 99% of the male population is willing to do. Courage is courage, irregardless of physical condition or gender. It is gratifying to see women who have the courage to serve and give their life because they love this nation.

Concur.
I can't argue against any of the objections thrown already. But having talked to some in the pipeline, some who are in, and especially the ones injured, you just gotta love that burning fire, that determined look in their eyes....even when it's through tears.......... ok, I admit, she was pretty

No, you're a soldier that stepped up, put your life on the line and (hopefully) does your job to the very best of your ability. Nothing dishonorable with that in the least.
