This would make them a top priority <| sep |> I play a Havoc DH . its a faceroll at this point . but i still find it fun . <| sep |> Snorlax is just cultivating mass <| sep |> Isn ' t Assen a possibility too ? <| sep |> Not all ranger students go to IBOLC . that ' s only officers , in addition , you can get a ranger school slot from the chem corps there are also PLENTY of examples where students finish IBOLC and still end up waiting a year or more for a ranger class spot . they had a work up designed to show them exactly what to expect from ranger school , they got advantages like being able to see certain obstacles ahead of time an advantage not given to their male counter parts in addition they were pretty much flat out told there was no recycle limit for them . 3 recycles is pretty much god damn unheard of . 34 % recycle ? And how much of that do they recycle multiple times ? A much , much smaller percentage and you ' d have to be really kicking and then get hurt to get a 3 rd pass . The peer evals are important and I have NO doubt that they weren ' t respected to a degree . And before you pull all this i ' ve met them blah blah , I know Geist as well . But meeting them tells you almost nothing . I promise you that . You ' d be so surprised how little meeting someone or listening to them talk has anything to do with that person ' s performance in a school like that . At the end of the day , I ' m sure those women were giving it all they had and I ' m sure they are tough as nails and lets be real . ranger school has less to do with physical prowess than just not being a shit bag volunteering to carry the saw is exactly the kind of thing that gives you respect in a school like that . I just also 100 % think if those exact same candidates were males and they performed exactly the same as they did they would of been history . They definitively would not of been given a 3 rd chance . They wouldn ' t of had a personally appointed nutritionist , they wouldn ' t of received an extra work up , and they probably wouldn ' t of been given the glance over on certain patrols . There are 2 saving graces . getting a ranger tab is not the same thing as being in a ranger battalion something , as far as I know for now is still unavailable for women and unlike the SEAL , SF pipeline where you definitely operate on a team afterwards , the tab is just mark of completion for the course . I think higher up pressure to pass at least one female combined with the fact that there wasn ' t as much of a real danger for inadequate quality in real world performance allowed them to pass . I think it sucks to be the girls in this situation more than anything because I bet they worked their asses off to prepare and get through it , but at the end of the day it wasn ' t fair and you can ' t even begin to act like it was .
