The Army announced Friday that the service's first female enlisted soldier has graduated from the physically challenging Sapper Leader Course.

Sgt. Hailey Falk, who is assigned to B Company, 39th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, of the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, graduated from the 28-day combat engineer leadership course and received her Sapper tab on Dec. 7, according to an Army press release.

There was a link there that announced the first female student had graduated from the Special Forces selection course.

I remember the last time this was tried. It was during the Clinton Administration,and Hitlery and gang had specially picked a female Captain to be the "first female Green Beret". The plan was obviously to get her a beret and promote her to General ASAP so she could be seen as a leader amongst men.

The plan failed when none of the senior NCO's on the selection committee would pass her because she couldn't do the job. IIRC,a Colonel was even forced into early retirement for refusing to give her a pass.

Seems like they kept it low-key this time and managed to sneak one through.
