Sorry to depress you SQ but the Army does not get the meateaters we need. Honestly, if there were tabbed females when I came in in 1984 I would have gone to the Rangers or the Marines....hell, even the SEALs for that matter. Our leadership in SF has totally failed the Regiment the last few decades. In the mid 90's we were letting Joes pass that couldn't swim, had GT's below 110, and pushed them to Group for a team to fix. I'd rather see us have 3 SF Groups fully capable then 5 that are marginal.
