No woman has been able to break through the glass ceiling and earn the elusive title of Navy SEAL, with the two most recent candidates failing to successfully complete the grueling training process and earn their SEAL Trident.
"Although neither were selected for a contract, female service members and civilians have a rich history of service within NSW (Naval Special Warfare), and their diverse talents and capabilities will continue to evolve and professionalize the NSW force," a Navy spokesperson said, according to a Thursday Military.com report.
Two women were offered SEAL contracts, the first step in a long and challenging process to becoming a Navy SEAL, in 2019 and 2020, but both were forced to exit the training pipeline early, according to the report. The spokesperson would not tell Military.com which stage the female candidates were unable to pass, citing the "integrity of Naval Special Warfare Center courses and the privacy of its candidates."
