It appears the first two females at Ranger School might graduate soon. What questions does this answer?

If you have been to Ranger School, you well know, once you get to Florida, you are pretty much done... so long as you can pass one patrol, and you don't get hurt; home stretch for 17 days...
It appears, the first two women (ever) will soon graduate and receive their well earned Ranger Tab... No easy task for anyone... to say the least. Will this answer the Army's question of should/can women serve in direct combat MOSs? Remember, anyone from any MOS can go to Ranger School. We have yet to have women attend Infantry or Armor OSUT/BOLC. Should that not be the pilot?
Clearly, if a woman can complete Ranger School.... Infantry OSUT/BLOC would be easy.
- Colonel Fivecoat (Commander Ranger Training Brigade) would not say whether he supported women serving in the infantry because he did not want to get out in front of his own commanders. But allowing them to attend Ranger School was a no-brainer. “Why would you not want them to get this training, so they can be the best they can possibly be?”

It answers the question that there will be two female officers fast tracked for future promotions...

They're Soldiers First. This is a milestone for the Army, and the women who serve. They have my utmost respect and I hope those still serving show them the respect they're due as Soldiers, and Rangers.

LCDR T.J. Smith (Retired) - they are Ranger Quaified (not in Bat), but still would be considered Rangers in any line unit.
