1st Female Marine to Complete MARSOC's 2nd Phase Is Leaving the Corps
 
21 Oct 2018
 
Sgt. Bailey Weis didn't set out to be a trailblazer, but she became one late last month when she completed the second phase of the arduous selection process for Marine special operators, a feat no other woman has accomplished.

Weis made it through Phase Two of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command's Assessment and Selection course, a highly competitive and secretive program that tests candidates' mental and physical prowess to make it as a Raider. But after being passed over for selection to continue in MARSOC's training pipeline despite her accomplishment, she's now opting to leave the Marine Corps behind for other opportunities.

Not getting the nod to move forward was incredibly disappointing, Weis said. But she trusts that those making the call did so for a reason.

"They have a lot of different ways that they analyze everyone and are extremely professional and on-point with everything they're doing," she said. "... It sucks, but you've got to handle it the right way."

She seems to have a good attitude.
