This staff sergeant is the first enlisted woman to earn a Ranger tab, and she’s not in combat arms
By: Meghann Myers   1 day ago


The Army’s Ranger school at Fort Benning, Georgia, holds a graduation every few weeks throughout the year, but Friday’s marked an historic moment: One of the graduates was an enlisted woman, the first enlisted woman to earn the coveted Ranger tab.

Staff Sgt. Amanda Kelley, 29, is the first enlisted woman to earn her Ranger qualification, according to 1st Armored Division spokeswoman Lt. Col. Crystal Boring.

She was one of 127 students to graduate on Friday, according to Fort Benning spokesman Benjamin Garrett, out of 347 hopefuls who began the training in late July.

No,she was merely the first enlisted female soldier to be AWARDED the Ranger Tab. She damn sure didn't earn it,as I am sure you know.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

This is clearly one of those cases of "it's who you know,or who you blow". She is cleared related to or having sex with someone politically important to the army. She is not even a infantryman,and there are actual infantrymen that want to go to Ranger School but can't because there just aren't enough slots open in any class. Yet they allow this female to get a slot and she doesn't even have an infantry MOS?
