I worked with 2 Chiefs at SDVT-1. One took the O course challenge at Corranado, where they do BUDS training. Her husband was stationed there. She did it in boots etc and almost made it in the required amount of time needed. She was #12 in crossfit competition in California at same time.
The other Chief ran out Physical Training program there, and was a FMF Corpsman ( Worked with the Marines).
Both were seriously motivated and quite capable. Many women are capable.
But, it is so difficult to get forward deployed with the Teams, or even combat, for anything. Its dangerous, and such, as we all know.
So, for Chief Kent to get that far into it is incredible. Just incredible.
I hope they write a book on her..
