The class has two female students, but neither was injured.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Ranger students and instructors reacted and got everyone proper medical care quickly,&#8221; Col. David Fivecoat, commander of the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade, said in the release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ranger students and instructors are tough; 31 students will return to training tonight and continue with increased medical monitoring as they try to earn their Ranger tab,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unlike Bobo, I don&#8217;t think this was a warning from God to Ashton Carter in regards to female Rangers. I remember one year at ROTC Advanced Camp, lightening struck a platoon defensive perimeter of cadets and sent twenty to the hospital as it skipped from cadet to cadet around the circle. All survived, but lightening loves to strike soldiers for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like most of the Ranger students are already back in training and I hope the others make back soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link to Military.com which reports that 40 Ranger students and 4 Ranger &hellip; <a title=\"44 struck by lightening at Ranger School\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61396\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">44 struck by lightening at Ranger School<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[232],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61396\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
