None from first-ever group of female soldiers training to be Army Rangers advance through first round: officials BY Rachelle Blidner
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, May 9, 2015, 5:24 PM
The first-ever female soldiers allowed to train to be Army Rangers did not make it through the first round of the course, officials said Friday.
Eight women and 101 men who made it through the first tests of the 20-day Crawl Phase will have to try again to pass the last few at one of the toughest soldier training schools, officials said.

The fairies would probably have air superiority.
It doesn’t matter that all the females did not make it to the next phase.
What matters is that they were there.
The Army leaders have already lost this fight. They lost it because of their arrogance.
I don't believe that the Army leaders have lost a thing. They are in fully support with the Administration goals and they are allowing the remaining eight to be recycled. If none of them make it through the rest of the course, then they will review the standards and adjust accordingly. The plan is on track. The losers will be a platoon of soldiers left in the lurch by a platoon leader who falls by the wayside when the chips are down.
But leadership.
If this is not true given the hussein administrations purging of our military, than if demonstrated otherwise, I would be more than happy to concede.
Long list. See all at link.

I hope that President Cruz has that list to use as the starting point for a “committee” to recommend/oversee reforms to the military... including a new list of people to fire.
On the purge, it’s a myth, nothing but nonsense.
But, the senior leaders of all the services are supporting the Administration’s policies. They may not agree privately and they may (or likely not)be disagreeing behind closed doors, but publicly they are executing the orders that they have received from their political masters. The fact that no a single senior leader of all of the services has not resigned in protest of the social policies or the defense policies. They have complained about the budget changes, but that’s also on orders from above as the Administration does not like the Congress’ Sequestration effort.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has already said that if women are unable to pass these selected courses, then the leadership will be required to review the standards with a view to adjust them so that women can succeed. That has been the consistent trend since women were integrated into the main line of the military in the mid 70’s.
The list is baloney, thick sliced. It has been debunked over and over. First step is to remove all officers that retired at about the time they would have expected to do so. Second step, remove all of those who had zipper problems. Third, remove all Command Sergeants Major/CPO/SMSGT and Major, these are not “senior leaders”. Finally, take off all Skippers who parked their warships on the beach or on a reef and what left is pretty thin gruel.
Certainly, the Administration sacked a handful of senior guys who locked horns with one or another with someone in the power structure. The Generals usually lose in these power struggles and nothing has been much different from times in past.
You piss'en under a big dead log? Don't drop it on your foot.
Yeah, the standards are just a misogynistic cultural construct - like gravity.
Chances are that there are actual exceptional women who could, but who choose not to sign up for various other reasons. My guess is that the percentage would be pretty small as it is.
Just heard through a male student in this class that not one of the females passed their leadership roles on patrols and that they couldn’t keep up in the swamps at Darby, creating extra effort on male students. Equipment that females were carrying had to routinely be passed to male students just so patrols could get to their objectives.
I assume such news will be banned by the media and Obama.
Basically the females failed twice. Leadership failure and lack of motivation via lack of physical strength and endurance. Any male student exhibiting the same would be summarily booted from the course.
