Two female Army officers have been approved for initial Special Forces training, the first step in the long process to earn the coveted Green Beret, an Army spokeswoman said Monday.
The women are the first female soldiers to be accepted into the Special Forces Assessment and Selection and could report to the three-week program at Fort Bragg, North Carolina as early as October, said Maj. Melody Faulkenberry, a spokeswoman for the Army’s John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center.

Years ago I was in the 19th group and the 5th group in a support non-QC position. There were lots of women soldiers in the groups then and some of them, I have no doubt, would have made excellent team members. A limited number of them deployed with A teams because they were female.

That's interesting. So, to you, this article is no big deal. How long ago was that MAJ Matthew Arnold. I'm happy to see them progress as far as they have. This is a cartoon about men.
