Navy Has First Female Applicants for SEAL Officer, Special Boat Units

More than a year after a mandate for the Pentagon opened previously closed ground combat and special operations jobs to women, officials say the Navy has its first female candidates for its most elite special warfare roles.

Two women were in boot camp as candidates for the Navy's all-enlisted Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman program, Naval Special Warfare Center Deputy Commander Capt. Christian Dunbar told members of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service in June.

Another woman, who sources say is a junior in an ROTC program at an unnamed college, has applied for a spot in the SEAL officer selection process for fiscal 2018, which begins Oct. 1, and is set to complete an early step in the pipeline, special operations assessment and selection, later this summer, he said.

"That's a three-week block of instruction," Dunbar said. "Then the [prospective SEAL officer] will compete like everyone else, 160 [applicants] for only 100 spots."

U sure those arent XXY. That is a toxic combination. Womans fury in a mans body. Her foibles too. Makes me think of when Milo says the most violent relationships he knows of are lesbian.

Only about 50% of males make it through ranger school. So far, the rate for women is maybe 10% and it took them three tries to graduate if I remember correctly.

And that is after undue Command influence. A total sham and disgrace.

“Aggression is not seen more frequently in 47,XYY males.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome

What does this mean?

Means you can have them over to dinner and not worry about your wife and kids. They are normal in every sense of being a man just more so. I would bet 1/3 of Pro athletes are XYY. Fro boy is more likely XXY.

“Testosterone levels (prenatally) are normal in 47,XYY males.[9] Most 47,XYY males have normal sexual development and have normal fertility”

Doesn’t seem to support your hypothesis.

These are just the crews that man the small boats that transport the Seals. They won’t be going to BUDs.
*******************************************
In the Navy a sailor that crews and maintains the small boats dispatched from large ships is called a Coxswain (Cox’n).

They did a great job getting us back to the carrier anchored a mile or so from port when we had Cinderella liberty in the Med., (especially during rough weather).

“Congress is as much to blame as anyone for this.”

Yes, but I never imagined that those coprolites would move to correct it.

I allowed myself to hope that Trump would.

Does she look like a young Demi Moore? /sarc

Seriously, this will not go down well. Officer’s & enlisted train together at Coronado. It’s beyond intense. If anybody senses that she’s getting cut some slack, as the female Ranger candidates were rumored to have been, then the whole organization will suffer.

How many physical fitness requirement were waived to get her to this point? My guess is most of them.

Boat crews do go through BUDS.
