On Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017 the first female to gain entry to the SEAL Officer Assessment & Selection (SOAS) program voluntarily quit. The three-week course began Monday, July 24th, 2017 in San Diego, California home of the Navy SEAL training base, and by Wednesday it was all over for this candidate. Making history, in the summer of 2017 the US Navy accepted its first female officer candidate into the Naval Special Warfare officer screening pipeline called the SEAL Officer Assessment & Selection program, which is a very early stage screening process designed specifically for SEAL officer candidates.
Women were allowed entry into the Navy SEAL screening course in 2017 as a result of the DoD rule revision announced on December 3rd, 2015 allowing females access to any and all combat roles in the US military. However, similar to the way civilian employers are required to provide access to employment and promotion opportunities regardless of factors such as sex, race, and others, the US military is not required to staff combat roles with females, rather it is directly required to allow these brave women the chance to earn their way into these honorable and challenging jobs. Becoming a SEAL is a long process. Graduates of the SEAL Officer Assessment & Selection course earn the chance to be considered in a second stage process involving a selection panel. Those selected by the panel are offered the chance to complete the arduous BUD/S SEAL training course that includes the famous Hell Week – which is perhaps the most difficult military training week in the world.

Her even being allowed to go is a waste of our taxpayer money!
We need to cut the defense budget by 50% since they have our money to burn.
I guess there are too many liberals that “know” that every movie produce by Hollywood is nothing but the absolute truth.
Any Freeper remember the farce “G.I. Jane” staring Demi Moore from 1997?
She got further than I would have.
Even when I was young and a pretty decent athlete, I would never have tried for Seal, Ranger, Delta Force, AF Special Ops, etc.
There was a Ranger Captain, retired on our track team. One of the most pleasant guys I have ever known. As one might expect he was a distance runner.
Whatever you do, don’t mention “biology.”
Lasted 10 days. She’s going to try out for major league baseball next. Then maybe the NFL.
I doubt she was the first to drop from the class. And she won’t be the last.
At a minimum, a woman SEAL candidate should be a competitive swimmer and long distance runner, i.e., a triathlete who finishes races in the top 10-20% overall.

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family.
Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.
Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.
What? I though she would be able to kick the shit out of any of the SEALs with her arm tied behind he back. I saw it in the movies so it has to be true.
/sarc for people that don't know it when they see it
How many men dropped out?
Looks like she ate all of her students!!
On the bright side, she probably won’t be arrested for carrying on affairs with her male students....
Sure didn’t se this coming...
Yep, the vast majority of recruits wash out far before this stage.
Cue The Village Pepole.
I can proudly say that my son is an Air Force JTAC.
I had to look that up.
You have a right to be proud.
RING THAT BELL, BABY!!!
The vast majority of men don't have the testosterone required to be considered a "man". (Compared the men of years pre-1960.)
Most, but not all, of them.
