It makes no mention of the physical standards - will they be compromised? Will there be a separate set of standards for female seals? Will they not have to endure hell week - or maybe their hell week will be different from that of Men?

I am sure there are some females with the physical attributes required to complete the training, but that can’t be more than a very small percentage - and of that group how many could meet the mental requirements?

I am sure that just like just about every other social equalization experiment that this will go terribly wrong.

This is all about career advancement for a limited number of female officers. And yes, they will have a separate (lower) set of physical standards.

They will not be doing the more demanding ops, but that won’t be discussed much if at all in the salons in Georgetown
