I don't know how much help these women got but I suspect there was some.

My boss is a West Point grad and a Ranger school grad. Dave said he was told on good authority that these two women are the real deal.

The description of Ranger school I got from Dave formed my opinion that luck of the draw, good attitude, leadership ability and unwavering determination are big factors for any candidates success.

I guess it's possible that these gals got through.
