First woman makes it through Navy SEAL officer assessment and selection
A famous Weeki Watchi Mermaid. The unidentified woman completed the screening earlier this year, according to Military.com. The news was disclosed this month at a meeting of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services. Despite women being permitted to be considered for SEAL openings since 2016, no woman has made it through the grueling selection process. Candidates for Navy SEAL officer assessment and selection are chosen from Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, Officer Candidate School, and service academies. And even after making it through the two-week selection this year, the woman was not chosen for a SEAL contract as she had not selected the SEALs as her top choice of career path. "We do not discuss details of a candidate's nonselection, so it does not interfere with their successful service in other warfighter communities," said Capt. Tamara Lawrence, a spokeswoman for Naval Special Warfare. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-12-12 |
