Recent SFAS

A female was just selected in the most recent SFAS class. Thoughts?

Home run for the social justice warriors......

Home run for the social justice warriors.

And thank you Special Forces officers that lowered the standards until a female could pass.

(A small bird already told me that she was dropped by the cadre and pushed through by an "officer". My guess is that she's an officer herself?)

But seriously who cares..............

STANDARDS ????

WHY HAVE THEM when The PC, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION MOB, lowers them so that there is "more diversity" in the military.!! MY PREDICTION; This new candidate will not be accepted by the rank and file SF community. REMEMBER Kate Wilder ????? Where is she now.???? Who gives a s_ _ t... TO BE A LEADER YOU MUST HAVE RESPECT... and RESPECT is not handed out; IT HAS TO BE EARNED. Enough of my personal thoughts on gender equality...tom kelly

My thoughts are just why you popped up with no thoughts of your own. From your profile you don't have a dog in the fight. From your posts you claim to be a Rep63.

Personally I don’t think it’s going to work out for her, it’s going to be an uphill battle and very few will accept her. Not to mention the natural stressors associated with the job.

And you base your opinion off what experience on a team? Have you graduated the Q Course and been assigned to one?

If you have you may want to update your profile.

SFAS and Q course

Do you think that has anything to do with the rumors of the selection and Q course being condensed?

No, it does have everything to do with lowering the standards until a female could pass.

Remember SFAS was started because so many soldiers failed the SFQC, Phase One used to be extremely "brutal". 65lb ruck + weapon, + LBE and run for 10-20 miles........... Few "men" could do it. And it's gone. Standards lowered.

Now, females can pass SFAS. And the new SFQC is a cake walk. But that's ok, A-Teams are used to having non-combatants as attachments..........

Just wait until wonder-woman goes hands on with another SF soldier........ or an enemy soldier.......

The time of "alpha males" is over.

It is time for the Beta males and Alpha Females to dominate this nation.

Get used to it.

I'll be fishing.

This honestly could work, but only if the standard is the actual standard required to complete the job and not just to allow people to pass. I mean this for all walks of life too. I earned my CPA not because someone thought I should get it, or because I came from a rural area, or because of any other perceive disadvantage I had that entitled me to get my designation. I earned it because I met a standard that our industry said I needed to meet to properly serve in my profession.

We have changed the perspective of the standard to mean what a person needs to pass a course, obtain a position, etc. The standard is what is needed for a job to get done, not to allow someone to claim a certification.

So, change the perspective on what the standard means, and suddenly gender doesn't matter anymore. You either meet the standard or you don't.

WOW I had no idea that earning a CPA degree took such brutal physical effort!

Well done! Good to know that the CPA certification is still held to the highest standards!

Here's your participation award.

I for one am glad to hear that lowering the standards until all can pass is "ok" with the general public. Thanks, you've renewed my faith in the American sheeple.

"AFFIRMATIVE ACTION"

WILL THIS HELP IN CATCHING FISH.??? DO THE FISH KNOW ABOUT LOWER STANDARDS, CATCH MORE FISH WITHOUT A ROD, A REEL, LINE & FLY...BECAUSE OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION YOU JUST NEED TO BE NEAR FISH & WANT TO CATCH THEM... However, IF YOU COME UP EMPTY... COMPLAIN ABOUT WHITE PRIVILEDGE, RACISM, MYSOGONMY, AND ANY OTHER ASSHAT EXCUSE THAT THE PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL SOCIALIST LEFT APPROVES. AT THE END OF YOUR FAILURE TO CATCH FISH...TAKE YOUR ACCESS CARD TO A SUPERMARKET & PURCHASE FISH WITH MY TAX $$$$.
