Hey I posted what I thought was a great article about them and the process about this six days ago. So glad to hear that they both made it. It is tough to just get accepted and of those only about 40% graduate.

"Twenty women qualified for the Ranger School class that began in April, joining 380 men. Ninety-five men already have graduated, including 37 who completed each of the three phases on the first try. More than half of all the students from the April class — 257 men and 17 women — already have been dropped."

I have never known a Ranger but grew up with a guy that was in the Canadian Special Forces and he was a smart, tough MFer. Is she super bad ass IRL? Super athletic? Super accomplished? Any idea if she is going to try to join the Rangers or serve in another area?
