Females attempting to complete Ranger School must now open pickle jars of varying size and degrees of torque-tightened lids!

Thoughts? Please keep it (somewhat) clean!

By the way, this is from the Duffel Blog. You have been warned!

Ranger School Women Question Pickle Jar Opening Test

They're not making the guys stop and ask for directions during Land Nav, are they?

Obviously a gender-biased test that will be eliminated from the course...

Pickle jars? Not my ARMY anymore. Female rangers should have to do everything the males do.

Is “pickle jar” a euphemism?
