They often support the SEALs but also conduct missions of their own using state-of-the art, high-performance boats. She has started the various evaluations and standard Navy training.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have said it would be premature to speculate when the Navy will see its first female SEAL or Special Warfare Combatant Crewman.<\/p>\n<p>The entry of women in one of the military&#8217;s most elite fighting forces is part of ongoing efforts to comply with then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter&#8217;s directive in December 2015 to open all military jobs to women, including the most dangerous commando posts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there will a cacophonous gnashing of teeth among the folks who only want a female SEAL, regardless of the costs to training the force, but none of teeth gnashers will volunteer themselves to take the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to David for the link.
