Think so? I may be naive but with two women graduating Ranger school I'm a lot more optimistic. I mean there are some strong as hell women in MMA, crossfit, powerlifting, one of these days one woman is going to enter in and make it.

Yeah I honestly believe it's not possible. BUDS is a whole different beast. It's a whole different physical challenge-mainly more smokings and heavy weights. Ranger school is an endurance event, BUDS is endurance and strength.

Also it's fair to say that those women who made it are in insane shape. A friend of mine went with the class and she's incredibly fit. She's tougher then nails but still failed.

Although I would never put it past a woman to make it through seal training. I will have to agree that BUD/S is a pretty terrifying feat. I mean what makes it so much harder is it is just a whole lot of training in water. I mean they pretty much borderline torture their recruits in water to make sure they can survive any circumstance that could arrive in water. Last time I looked it up the BUD/S have an 80% drop rate. If women can't make it it's honestly ok because in most cases men don't make it haha
