First woman to try to become a navy SEAL rings the bell after the first week....

[2aguy]

Since most men fail to make it through the training to become a navy SEAL, it comes as no surprise that a woman who attempted it left after the first week. The upper body strength alone would be tough for a female, and then you have the long term endurance issue that would knock out most men let alone women....

Candidate Set To Be First Female Navy SEAL Quits After A Week Of Training

A woman who enlisted to become the first ever female Navy SEAL quit after one week of training, reports Task and Purpose.

"The unidentified female candidate dropped out in early August during a three-week course in San Diego that began July 24. It was the first assessment of potential SEAL officers before they can be sent on to more grueling courses, according to the website, which cited 'multiple Naval Special Warfare Command sources,'" reports The Washington Examiner.

Before former President Barack Obama's rule change, which took effect in January of 2016, women were not allowed in United States Military combat roles. "But there were no female applicants in the 18 months since that historic change until now," reported CNN at the end of July, referring to the enlistment of the unidentified candidate.


There is still one remaining female candidate attempting to join the Navy's special operations teams; this unidentified woman is training for the Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman (SWCC) program.

Fuck women, but sell them guns.

At least she tried and is a loyal American willing to put her behind on the line for her country.

No shame in failing this program, there are other units she can join and help protect America.

I agree, but that is beside the point: Political correctness has overwhelmed rational discourse and is threatening to destroy our country from within. All men (and women) are not created with equal abilities, and insisting otherwise only creates resentment, division and hostility within our society.

Women are too dumb and feeble to work. To quote the great Ann Coulter, women shouldn't even vote. My coal mining company hasn't hired a single woman in 60 years. #MAGA

At least she gave it a try....75% of men wash out too.

How far did YOU get?

Do you have a problem with women trying to meet the standards that are already there?

Only when they usurp a more qualified candidate's opportunity to try.

Do you have any proof that that has happened? They have new classes come in every few months.....they have to because 75% wash out.

Not saying they do or don't. But we have gov-mandated demographic quotas all over the place and double standards everywhere so the concern is legit. And you know it.

As long as the SEALs don't mess with the physical and mental standards/toughness to accommodate females political correctness is a moot point. If a woman can make it through this introductory stage and then the six-month rigors of BUD/s, more power to her and welcome to the club. But it's a one in a bazillion shot IMO.

 

[shockedcanadian]

If she has proven herself she should be given the chance. Hell, I can walk onto a baseball field in spring training and become a big league ball player if I prove myself and I haven't played ball since I was a kid, it should be no different for the military.

Anyone willing to patriotically put their life on the line for their countries freedom deserves respect. She didn't make it, maybe the next one will.

I watch American Ninja where they engage in a challenging obstacle course. Very few men or women finish it, but there are a couple of women who do. As long as they are most fit and mentally sound, I would think all soldiers want the best beside them in combat. The PC stuff shouldn't be an issue and it needs to be kept out of the military.

In the military? In order to get accepted into the SEAL program? Prove it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The solution is simple. Some big strapping guy should join the program claiming that he identifies as a woman. Then when he gets through, voila! A woman made it through.

 

[AsherN]

Good for her to try. It would be good for Spec-Ops to have qualified female members. It would help a team blend in more.

It's probably already happened.

Just because the first one didn't finish doesn't mean others won't in the future. How many men don't finish the training? I bet more than half.

Also, physicality differs from person to person. For instance, this chick (who was an IDF soldier) could probably last longer than this guy (who has never laced a pair of combat boots in his life):

No we have a problem with the reality which is in MOST jobs the standards were LOWERED.

Women should not be in combat arms MOS's.
