$20 says she can’t pass the new physical standards, she’s overweight, our bar is toooooo low. The Best Pilot is NOT an over wight woman.
They don’t have weight and tape standards in Naval Aviation? Gotta be honest, when I was talking pilots onto targets in Afghanistan, these aren’t the people I imagined.
The animation at 6:30 wasn’t accurate
What they’re looking for is a “variety of personalities”…. Oooooff hopefully recruitment is focused on quality and not just personality… integrity honor etc. pride passion etc.
Important to have a little more Armstrong and a little less Maverick.
Always thought they got their wing in Pensacola and not after additional training. Semper Fidelis.
If you fail to fall outside of the two parameters, you fail to qualify. You are demonstrating DEI at its finest in with your statement. “What if I”. No, game over
Whatever…
Did Military just give up on weight standards for women or they’re just letting the heavyweights in?
