    She tried to quit multiple times and they kept changing the standards to keep her in. This does not bode well for readiness!

    I think the CFT was a thing after you got out but I always loved watching the females trying to firemans carry each other. Pathetic
    It was being talked about right as I was leaving. But I worked on Horno for a few years afterwards as an instructor and saw 1st Marines taking them. Infantrymen though and at the times no females in the units. So never had the pleasure of watching what I assume was a cluster ****.

    She was a golden child at the USAFA, ticking two minority boxes while being an elite college runner who got out of her first two years as a Lt years by training for the 2016 Olympics (despite not going), and expected the same preferential treatment at Special Tactics Officer (STO) school.

    She also wanted to be a pilot (as do most Zoomies), but that didn't happen either.

    And "the instructors were out to get her?!?!" How? By holding her to the same standards as every other student?

    No, more like she wanted to be the first black female STO!

    As an astute colleague noted, "she wanted the beret without the bruises!"

    As for Lt Gen Slife, most in AFSOC believe his last name should be spelled with a 'm' instead of a 'f!'

    Welcome to the new, woke DoD!

    I liked it way more than the PFT. Cant stand running. But yea it was always great to see them fail at the most realistic fitness test portions that we have.

    There wasnt a single female who could fireman carry even the smallest male Marine we had. Glad to know id be as good as dead if I was wounded and pfc rottencrotch had to carry or even drag me out of danger

    Hooray for lower standards. I remember that Lioness bullshit story, had the cameras panned back you would have seen a battalion patrolling outside of and completely surrounding the “first females” on a combat patrol. It was such horseshit.

    About '86, while I was in Germany, a female SP4 was complaining that females could not attend the SF Q course. She went up the chain of command and finally wrote to her congressman. When the someone from congressman's office sent an inquiry to our unit it caused no small concern but for a crusty, sometimes-cranky, SFC. He was a Ranger period and he had a direct way of dealing with problems - go figure! His solution was to give the young specialist the qualifying physical fitness test for the Q course. She barely passed the test by the standards of the regular APFT, let alone the Q course standard.

    The unit sent a letter back up to the congressman about her failing to meet the standard for consideration for the Q course and that was the end of that.
