Army officials announced the result Friday, saying in a news release that 158 men and all three women will move on to tackle the next portion of Ranger School at Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, Ga., about 65 miles north of Atlanta, beginning Saturday. It was the third and final attempt for the remaining women, who had failed the initial Darby Phase at Fort Benning, Ga., twice before. A total of 362 men began the course with them June 21.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, I congratulate them. they’ve certainly accomplished more than I accomplished during my military career, in regards to the physical aspect of the course. I may be one of the few people out here pulling for at least one of them to graduate, you know, since a female Ranger is in the cards, inevitably. It’s better for that graduate and all future graduates if they succeed at the current standard rather than some politically expedient standard designed to force a female graduate out of the course.<\/p>\n
I’ve seen folks on here asking whether it’s normal practice to allow soldiers a couple of shots at the course. I know of one fellow, before 9-11, who failed out of every phase for various reasons. He spent almost a year as a Ranger student until he finally graduated. I don’t know if they still do it, but I know that it’s not unheard of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
