Post Re: Combat Units – lower your standards for the women
Take your favorite college football team, and have that team, and that team alone put three females on the field for each play.

Put one female on the line, one in the backfield, and one as a receiver or defender. You be the only team with the females on your team.


Would you win a national championship? Would you win the SEC? Would you ever win a single game again?

Women do not have the size, strength, and speed to compete with men Not in football, not in combat. Combat is freaking hell. Going face to face with your fellow man, and trying to kill each other is not some freaking gender inclusive happy event. If you lose on the battle field, you lose your life, your lose your way of life, you may lose your family, you may lose your nation.

If women did compete in football, they would have to change the rules. Imagine a female having to go up the middle and getting hit by Kendell Beckwith. The injuries would make football criminal.


Iran and North Korea are not about to change the rules of combat, and make things easy because Obama, Hillary, Feinstein, Pelosi, and the rest of the libs want happy field good camp for lady rangers.

Hate to break it down for you, but in all of US History, not one time did lesbian colonels lead the female rangers and transgender battalions to victory on the battlefield. it never happened, and it never will.

"THE LAW
Selective Service law as it is written now refers specifically to "male persons" in stating who must register and who would be drafted. For women to be required to register with Selective Service, Congress would have to amend the law."

Wait until the women find out about this one.

Dguidry - Question for you

If your son had to go to combat. If he was currently in Afghanistan and ended up wounded, and bleeding out on the battlefield, and what if the Army called you on the phone. If they called, and told you that your son needed to be carried off the battlefield or he would die, and that there were two soldier standing by, and that one would have to rush out under fire, pick your son and his equipment up and carry him back to safety, if they told you that one soldier was male and one was female, which one would you pick to go after you son?

Dguidry stated ". Who needs to test whether she can crawl up and through a window with as 75lbs backpack."



the experts make the standards. Combat leaders who have been there.

Who do you think is more qualified to say what combat standards are needed, you or me?

Did marines in Fallujah have to go through windows with combat gear on?

How about those who fought in Ramadi? How physical was the fighting in Helmand?

I think you sound foolish when you talk political. When you try to speak on what the standards for combat should be, you are so out of your league it is not even describable

Dguidry - Who is more suitable at deciding the physical events that are used at the NFL Combine, an NFL coach who played in the NFL, or a high school girls volley ball coach?


deciding the standards that test combat soldiers is best left up to combat soldiers, not divorce lawyers.

I've worked out two weeks in a row without missing a day. I think I could carry a 75lbs backpack over a wall now myself. Hell, I carry 75lbs of extra weight every day so what's another 75lbs to me.

And this is exactly what a drop in standards to allow females into combat arms is going to net us.

Maj. Lauren Edwards led more than 150 Marines and several vehicles in defensive maneuvers during the invasion of Iraq.

DVIDS, photo by Gy. Sgt. Kimberly Leone
Maj. Lauren Edwards stretches before a run
Branch: Marine Corps

Rank: Major

Why she's impressive: A combat engineer, Edwards was leading a company of combat engineers during the invasion of Iraq when her unit's convoy was attacked in 2003. It was the first time she had ever been shot at, according to Why Marines Fight, a book by James Brady, but she led more than 150 Marines and several vehicles in defensive maneuvers, earning an award for valor in the process.

Edwards' physical strength is equally impressive; she can run a perfect male physical fitness test, which includes running three miles in 18 minutes, doing 20 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups in two minutes, a feat even males find it incredibly difficult to do.

Sgt. Sherri Gallagher is one of the top long-range rifle marksmen in the country, and was named Soldier of the Year.

YouTube/GOARMY
Branch: Army

Rank: Sergeant

Why she's impressive: Gallagher, a shooter in the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, beat out 11 other competitors for the title of Soldier of the Year. She bested her competition — mostly male — in events such as hand-to-hand combat, urban maneuvers, detainee operations, casualty evaluation, weapons familiarization, and night firing.

Firing a weapon is Gallagher's specialty; she is one of the top long-range rifle shooters in the country and, as of last year, a member of the Golden Knights, the U.S. Army Parachute Team.

For her accuracy and steady hand, Gallagher was named the 2010 Army Soldier of the Year by the Military Marksmanship Association, the first woman to claim this title.

Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester killed several enemy combatants while under attack in Iraq, saving American lives.

Wikipedia
Branch: Army

Rank: Sergeant

Why she's impressive: Hester is one of the few women to be awarded for valor in close-quarters combat. When she and her squad came under fire by enemy combatants while stationed in Iraq, Hester helped repel more than two dozen Iraqi insurgents.

Amazingly, Hester walked directly into the line of fire to kill at least three enemy combatants at close range, according to a Washington Post article

Because of her swift heroism, Hester saved the lives of numerous convoy members. Her actions led her to become the first woman since World War II to earn the Silver Star Medal, the third highest award exclusively for valor in combat.

Cpl. MaryBeth Monson maintained the security of her base during an attack by Afghani insurgents disguised as American soldiers.

DVIDS photo by Lance Cpl. Reba James
Branch: Marine Corps

Rank: Corporal

Why she's impressive: Cpl. MaryBeth Monson was on deployment in Afghanistan when enemy combatants disguised as American soldiers mounted an assault on the base.

Monson kept the personnel calm until security was back up and running and spent 80 hours volunteering to clean up afterwards, even though her unit wasn't assigned to this task.

For her calm in the line of fire and commitment to the efforts of the Marine Corps, Monson was awarded the 2013 USO's Woman of the Year Military Leadership Award. The annual award presented to one woman from each branch of the military is one of the most prestigious given to female servicemembers.

Post Re: Combat Units – lower your standards for the women
Dguidry, they have already lowered the standards. The women are not required to get a closely cropped haircut. This haircut is for hygiene as well as safety purposes. The had to modify several events, duration of patrols etc to accommodate the female students.

19 women started Ranger School this morning.

Major go/ no go events for RAP week
RPFA
CWSA
Land Navigation
Foot march

Other events you can receive major minuses for failing to complete

16 of 19 women passed the RPFA this morning. The majority of the female Ranger students are officers and ironically have a track, cross country, or swimming background.

Ranger Physical Fitness Assessment
49 pushups
59 situps
5 mile run (40 minutes or less)
6 pull ups (upon completion of 5 mile run)

Today is the Combat Water Survival Assessment (You fail only if you refuse to conduct the test)

Tomorrow is land navigation (Expect a few failures on land navigation test and retest)

Final major hurdle is the foot mach (35 lb ruck) later in the week.

Historically, 50% of the male students who successfully complete RAP week, graduate and earn the Ranger tab.

I will keep you posted as they progress through RAP week. Once they enter the patrolling phase, I will be able to update you at the end of each phase after the boards are completed.

Spec. Ashley Pullen saved the life of a squad member by shielding him with her own body while under attack.

DVIDS video screenshot
Branch: Army

Rank: Specialist

Why she's impressive: Ashley Pullen, a Humvee driver, saved a fellow squad member's life when her convoy came under attack in Baghdad. She treated the injured squad member's stomach wound and even shielded him with her own body to protect him from further blasts. She then helped transport wounded soldiers to a makeshift landing zone for evacuation by helicopters.

Pullen was awarded a Bronze Star with Valor distinguishing device for her heroism on that day.

Margaret Woodward commanded the entire U.S. air campaign in Libya during Operation Odyssey Dawn.

DVIDS photo by Airman 1st Class Gustavo Castillo
Branch: Air Force

Rank: Major General

Why she's impressive: Woodward organized the U.S. airstrike campaign in Libya as the commander of Operation Odyssey Dawn's air component. She was the first woman to command a U.S. combat air campaign.

Today, the Major General holds the very important role as Director of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) in Washington, D.C. Her office is the single point of accountability and oversight for sexual assault policy matters, and she reports directly to the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force.

Post Re: Combat Units – lower your standards for the women
Well to be quite honest with you, dguidry, Big Army's expectation of the number of women to take advantage of this one time event, has been disappointing. They expected about 80 women. Numbers extremely low. If statistical norms lay out, by the time the course ends, at best 6 women candidates will earn the Ranger Tab.

Statistical norms (males) for each cycle

19 started RAP week
15-20% fail initial RPFA (3 failed for 15% of the candidates)
65% of all students who start RAP week will complete ALL of RAP week events (12 women will move on to patrol phase)
50% of all Ranger students who complete RAP week events earn the Ranger tab


So what we do not know is how this plays out.

If it cost ten million to send 100 women to ranger school, and if only one graduated, libs and feminist will ignore that it is an absolute failure statistically, and then demand that all combat arms units and school to include special operations units be restructured to accept females.

I find it interesting that the Army had to hand select the 20 females that have colligate running and swimming backgrounds.

I find it equally interesting that they started the females in Ranger School during the month of April. I am betting statistically there is no better time concerning the intense heat Fort Benning gets, and they will not get any of the extreme cold in mountain phase.

I would hate to be an officer or NCO assigned to Army Ranger School right now. The PC police will be out in full force just looking to burn someone and destroy careers. No one will want to be that one instructor that failed one of the female rangers, and have to stand on the carpet and get accused of sexism or SHAPR violation.

rangerp, you are spot on. They chose April for several reasons. As you know, statistically the highest completion rates for Ranger school is those students who start Ranger School is March and October. The worst being JAN and AUG (no class starts in December). However, the reason they did not start in March is due to the start of the Best Ranger competition. As you know, RTB goes through a cycle break after the March class, to host BRC at Benning. The cycle break is apx six weeks. So if the female students were to recycle any of the phases, they'd be sitting there pulling details, contemplating quitting, etc. Now the cycles are back to back starts so there is minimum time between cycles if one gets recycled.

Now on the surface, no standards have been lowered….read between the lines on this one….The standards in the accommodations to facilitate them is what has changed…For those who have never gone through Ranger School don't understand and say, well females have been in combat the last 13 years….Que dguidry comments here….What he does not understand is duration of the FTX, personal hygiene or lack of, patrol base procedures, lack of latrines in the mountains, of GA, swamps in FL….Medical checks etc. Now they had to bring in female medics just to do the end of cycle medical checks. No more stinky zzz drop your drawers and check for cellulitis, poison ivy, ball sack checks etc. And new RIs always wondered why people were laughing at them as they ate their lunch or dinner on the tables at the Darby dome!!!!! Smelly zzz everywhere!

I think Mudweiser and RangerPP are saying that women don't shit well in the mountains and the woods. I personally wouldn't know what it's like not to take a shower for more than three or four days (duck hunting season). Are these "female" issues a real lag on combat effectiveness? Educate me.

And Shannon Faulkner, the female that forced her way into the Corp of Cadets at the Citadel (Military College of South Carolina) in Charleston only to drop out after she determined she couldn't cut it.
