America's first two female Rangers complete their training

Two women have made military history after becoming the first female soldiers to pass the US army's gruelling Ranger course, the army said on Monday. The two, along with 94 men, passed the 62-day leadership course, which teaches students "how to overcome fatigue, hunger, and stress to lead soldiers during small unit combat operations," it said in a statement. In April, 19 women and 381 men began the first army Ranger school that included women. The course, based at Fort Benning, Georgia, includes training in woodlands, mountainous terrain and Florida swampland.
Army Rangers are rapidly deployable troops trained for mountain, desert and swamp terrain and often go after special operations targets.

Wonderful. Good on them. Congrats.

Indeed Quill, is no easy course to pass from what I understand.
