1LT Shaye L. Haver and CPT. Kristen Griest both say their reasons for wanting to go to Ranger school was to make themselves better leaders.

I like knowing they were driven by the desire to be better leaders. Sometimes we get all wrapped up on the Hooah part and forget about the smart (brain power) part.

CPT (Join to see) I would think that anybody who completes that tough course would have good reasons (and intentions) for being there!

I can't wait for the first women in BUD/s. THAT's gonna shut naysayers up.

CSM Charles Hayden Of course. I just like knowing that they were driven by the desire to be better leaders. Sometimes we get all wrapped up in the Hooah part and forget about what I like to call the smart (brain power) part.

CPT M C. Sorry Captain, the Hooah is what is all about! Those 2 graduates may have used brainpower to survive, but Hooah got them through! Cooperate and graduate! Please copy recent RP posts by Submariners, they too, work w/ Hooah!

I wonder if their second reason for going through Ranger training was so they could "blow s**t up"? :)

Who doesn't love blowing S**t Up. I maybe a Hippy Peacenik but there is a reason I burned off the Skin on the back of my Right Hand and Served on 3 Security Alert Teams. Yes I love watching things go boom.
