On Navy Seals, I had no idea they were trained that hard, they're constantly cold, wet, and miserable! And they only get like 4 hours of sleep during one of the weeks of there training.

Yea, and I'd just like to try, even though Federal law prohibits ANY female from EVER going into the Special Forcers or Infantry. But I hope that this will change. Boy I'd like to try just Phase One. Doesn't help that I have a friend who served in the US Navy SEALS during Vietnam, and his son (my friend) is going to be one. I know that he'll make it. He doesn't give up unless he is unconscious.

Odd... I didn't know that females in America weren't allowed in Special forces, I think here in Canada there is a good portion of females in G8 (our special force) and the RCMP (they don't wear all the red and such on job. They are basically more advanced SWAT)

That is something that never really made any sense to me here in the States. Women CAN go into SWAT, and SWAT snipers, but they cannot go into things like the Secret Service, Infantry, Special Forces. I don't know why they don't let females in. I have only one idea, but that is due to reproductive organs and cysts being able to happen at any time. But if they screen for people like they do for men, then they would get females that will endure through that pain and not give up so easily to the pain. They would only have to change a little bit to let females in, but I think that they should at least give them a try.

Yeah like if women can take childbrith, then I bet they can take a lot of pain.

Speaking from experiance here, ovarian cysts can be more painful if they rupture. Pain induced unconcsiousness, and then being brought out of that with more pain is no fun. Yet I was stupid enough to insist that I was fine and did not need help walking, or doing anything else for that matter.

(the pain lasted for about a full week, and I never have taken pain drugs....until that happend. And I religiously took them.)

thats half the hike and thats just the begining you do it none stop finish in one day or fail then you swim about 5 miles with gear then you have to pass a rigorous obstecoule course with a gun hit every target and thats just to be accepted. after that its a -blam!- load of more pain torture and misury if i was built like that i would do it these people that go in are monsters they can kill you in quite a few diffrent ways without a gun even if you have one

The whole thing about women not joining certain organisations is just sexism, and the belief that they cannot handle what is required. I personally disagree with this, but im just aan unimportant guy. Strangley enough many counter terrorist forces are told to target women terrorists first in any hostage situation. This maybe due to them belive them to be a greater threat, as maybe they are more devoteted to the cause (dunno why just my suggestion).


Oh and i would never try any tough training for any military organisation. Im a pacifist and a wuss (no the two dont automatically go together, they just concide in me).

It is not always about the result, but about the effort it takes to get there. That is why I would try. Don't know until you try. So what if some injury happens.... We all get injured sometime.

Well, I have two weak (almost completely shot) ankles, two knees that are highly senitive, a back that sometimes has this sharp pain that may not return for months, as well as an elbow that has a scar on it for when I almost skinned it to the bone. I still would try.

you are in a lot better shape than me. I don't get the chance to go to the gym, and I need to lose about 20 pounds. I used to run cross country and I miss getting out and exersizing......

I know that I am not good enough, I would like to see how far I could get before my mind either quits or my body fails.
