Others here have posted about women accomplishing firsts&#8230; Starting in the combat arms community, and working into the Special Forces community. <\/p>\n<p>Now we have a female Soldier that recently completed selection, and qualified to continue on to the Q Course. From the Army Times:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> The Green Berets are one of the last Army communities not to have female soldiers assigned. Since the combat exemption lifted, hundreds of women have joined the infantry community, several have been assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, and more than a dozen have earned the Ranger tab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This Soldier will complete additional training depending on her rank prior to going to the Q course. For example, if she&#8217;s a specialist, she&#8217;ll go to Basic Leader Course (previously known as PLDC). Her information isn&#8217;t being released, due to the nature of what she&#8217;s hoping to qualify for. <\/p>\n<p>Based on what they&#8217;ve accomplished so far, we&#8217;re looking at a continuing trend of female Soldiers making inroads. As long as they, along with their male counterparts, are meeting the training standards, this is something to be applauded. Their success would help others to follow in their footsteps. <\/p>\n<p>You can read details at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2018\/11\/14\/a-female-soldier-has-made-it-through-the-armys-special-forces-selection\/\">Army Times<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fayobserver.com\/news\/20181114\/first-woman-passes-special-forces-assessment-and-selection\">Fayetteville Observer<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AnotherPat sends us an article listing a milestone for women in the military.
