The UK’s Daily Mail<\/a> reports that there’s a rumor circulating in the halls of the Ministry of Defense that the selection phase for the Special Air Services, the special forces of the British Army, may get easier for female applicants when the course is opened to women in 2019;<\/p>\n

But according to sources who spoke to the Sunday Times, women – who can apply for all military roles from 2019 – might be allowed more time to complete tests and be given lighter loads to carry.<\/p>\n
