No

She's has all the physical attributes but I don't see her being a great team player. She also breaks down when she fails. She cries a lot in training when facing guys (this is documented by rhadi ferguson a male judo Olympian). She doesn't have the psychology for it imo

A scroll indicates they are in a ranger bat and regiment.

Tab indicates you passed the course many infantry nco's and officers get their tabs and not be in the reg

Exactly what I've been told by a handful of seals I grew up with. Definitely all mental when you hit a certain point.

FWIW, the Navy has always had trouble meeting their SEAL recruitment numbers and they paid $500,000. for a study to determine the type of candidate that was most likely to complete BUDS, and this was the summary. And per the article playing chess triples your chances of success.

Rangerettes?


Ranger Tab from Ranger School =/= being a Ranger. They will not be in the 75th or any of its battalions. Glad I could trip up a few faux hardcore murka' frick yeah idiots along the way. You excluded, breh. I meant the non-military downvoters.

I'm just honestly amused by the egalitarians that really believe the two women passed Ranger school all on their own and their standards was the same men got. It's hilarious.

I'm amused that civilians are treating this like a major accomplishment.

Ronda could beat the shite out of 99% of men on this board and they'd still think less of her because she's a woman

As long as they lower the standards like they did for the other 2 that graduated.

frick the high brass of today's military. Bunch of bleeding vaginas. Next thing you'll know, that Duffel Blog article about there being a female Commandant of the Marine Corps will be a real thing.
