Training at Ft. Leonard Wood is lots easier than say at Ft. Benning. I can not fathom a woman thinking that she would have the physical strength and stamina to be a combat engineer, though.

She should be back in 3-5 days and then run away again in about 28 days. Repeat

I spent two weeks on crutches during basic there, yep, stress fractures. No convalescent leave, just a 10 minute head start when we had to walk any where, which was just about every where.
Lost In The Woods, where chiggers and copperhead rule.

Having done Basic training at Leonard Wood, I would disagree. but as to the rest of your comment, I agree.

It all sounds very macho and all ‘liberated’ to tell your girlfriends and family members that you’re ‘in combat.’
Then you see your comrades-in-arms, your buddies, in smoking, bleeding chunks on the ground screaming out their last breath, and suddenly it’s not all fun and games.
Something to think about for all those women who believe they’d like to be in combat.

I was at Fort Leonard Wood in 2004-2005, I hated it, so damn boring and dull it was.

I would encourage her to go back into the Army... There she’ll get the structure and the discipline she needs right now... And she’ll have qualified officers telling her what to do...
