Not sure what to think. We'll see how she does on her team....

One one hand I feel like if she can do the job and she is not a diversity hire, then good for her.
But one the other hand her Gender could inhibit missions in certain parts of the world.
but I am a high drag, low-speed civilian with no knowledge of that stuff. I don’t know the answer here.
Interesting that she went Charlie, I would have guessed a female would be more likely to go Delta.
Maybe she didn't test well enough? Don't they typically put the extra smart ones in Delta or Echo?
I have heard about her, nothing bad, but I have no idea about her scores or preferences. A lot of kids are turned off by the year + of med training as apposed to 4-6 months for Charlie, Echo and Bravo.
I haven't met an Echo yet that could be described as smart.
I see all sides. I mean, in 2012 the Navy put an all female Seabee team in Afghanistan, and they absolutely kicked ass, so....
To my knowledge, Seabees were the first 'combat' ratings open to women.
Thanks^^
