Female finishes 18C, Robin Sage, gets her beanie...

On 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.

I see all sides. I mean, in 2012 the Navy put an all female Seabee team in Afghanistan, and they absolutely kicked ass, so....
 
If she can do the job she can do the job. Few men can, fewer women can.

Though there is one grammar nazi error I need to point out...
"Thankfully, after today, our Green Beret men and women woman will forever stand in the hearts of free people everywhere."
For now anyway
 
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. :D

Well, "smart" is relative... :D

Kudos to her if she made it legit. Oughtta be an interesting vibe in the team room.

If she was a diversity hire, she'll end up on the B team or BN staff.

To my knowledge, Seabees were the first 'combat' ratings open to women.
 
I think that’s awesome for her!

...Assuming she made it fairly and her gender wasn’t a factor.
 
Can y’all explain the difference between Charlie Echo and Delta, what’s that mean? I’m wasn’t military.
 
maybe a trans?

Bravo's are troglodytes, knuckle-draggers. Delta's and Foxtrot's are the brains, Foxtrot's always "disappearing" with OGAs from time to time. Echo's are geeks, good for establishing internet connectivity and stealing cable and fiber. Charlie's are hard workers, the only team member who's skills are applicable on the outside. Alpha's just stay out of the way. Zulu's and Warrants run the team.

The end result? Two women – First Lts. Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver – graduated August 21 (along with 381 men) and are wearing the prestigious Ranger Tab. Griest was surprised they made it.

“I thought we were going to be dropped after we failed Darby [part of Benning] the second time,” Griest said at a press conference before graduation. “We were offered a Day One Recycle.”
 
"From here, you will go forward and join the storied formation of the Green Berets, where you will do what you are trained to do: challenge assumptions, break down barriers, smash through stereotypes, innovate, and achieve the impossible," Beaudette said in the release.

For you guys and gals that served, did you do a lot of smashing stereotypes in combat? Maybe it just doesn’t make the stateside news.
