Ranger School is one of the toughest in the Army......wearing that tab is a sign that the soldier is exceptional and one of the best in the military...
Now, to get women through Ranger School....they have lowered standards and passed the women who consistently fail to meet the rigorous standards .....
The Inside Story Of How The Army Reduced Standards To Get Women Through Ranger Training
When the first integrated class started on April 19, none of the nineteen female candidates made it through the Darby phase of the course.
Eight were “recycled” back to the beginning of the phase to take a second crack at the course with the next class to show up, which is an entirely normal procedure. None of the eight passed on the second try. Of those eight, three candidates were given a third try but were required to start back at the very beginning and re-do RAP week, in what is known as a “Day One” recycled (as opposed to joining the next class after it completed RAP week, which is how the average recycle usually works).
