I don’t know about today’s Ranger School but years ago when I was at the Naval Academy, the obstacle course was not the same for the women:
- men’s wall was 8 feet, women’s wall 6 ft
-the women were permitted to run around several obstacles
-the women were permitted to use steps to go up some obstacles
Some midshipmen did a recon mission one night and painted the women’s obstacles pink. A few years later the obstacle course was removed and no longer part of the physical fitness grading.
Don’t know what year you went through, but it was still out on the point when I was there.
The girls I trained always passed, every last one of them, first time out. Men too for that matter. Why? I took them out at 5 and ran the seawall, hit the bridge, joined the course half way through, circled the point, and then did the first half on the way back.
Learning to do the obstacles tired and steady made them easy come test time. Everyone did the men’s course by the way, and my girls would literally laugh at the others who couldn’t handle such an easy course.
The Crewbas could probably do it....
