Some new procedures have popped-up in the 4th Army Ranger Training Battalion class now nearing the end of training. All candidates who survive will graduate this coming Friday and become Army Rangers.

The new procedures include:

longer periods of time allotted for sleep;

the lack of “smoke sessions” (extra physical training as punishment);

reduced weight of field packs;

female candidates being assisted in the construction poncho shelters over slit trenches;

the three female candidates are from a group of eight females who were dropped from a previous class, in May of this year,for failing to meet qualifications;

Two-star generals hanging around, even walking along on squad patrols.

What’s behind all this? Well, nine days ago, just as the final field trials were starting, the school was notified that a special guest would be attending the graduation ceremony Friday the 21st… the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, The President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama. This has never happened before.

Apparently the order came down that these female candidates will graduate, repeat, WILL graduate.
