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.

I can proudly say that my son is an Air Force JTAC.

I worked with a retired Ranger, he went on to instruct PT at Federal LE Training Glencoe, GA. He laughed about the young trainees thinking their PT was going to be easy because an “old guy” was their instructor. The joke was on them, he was not the average old guy.

I’ll get flamed on FR for saying this but, regardless of our opinion on this subject the fact she lasted 10 days when groups of men quit sooner than that I personally give her props for hanging in there for that long at least, most of us would barely last 1 day or so and I have known some navy seals in the Virginia Beach area it is no joke what they go through.
