For the first six months or so all we had in my company was one female LT. She had passed ranger school prior to coming to the unit, just like 90% of the Male LT's do. She was actually very competent in her job and her fitness was never an issue.
The enlisted females are completely different. Our first one was an E5, prior medic, who was given a fire team immediately upon in processing the unit. I have never worked with an E5 who was a different mos for his e1-4 time so I have no idea if that is normal. She was proved completely incompetent through out several training events and is currently in the process of changing her MOS back to medic. She did however, do perfectly fine in regards to fitness.
We now have 4 enlisted females whom this is their first unit. I'll give a brief description of each.
1. 18 yo who has had more alcohol related incidents than anyone I have seen since entering the army. Granted up until 2015 or so it seemed no one actually cared about non DUI alcohol incidents, maybe that was just my unit though.
2. Pregnant from a guy in another BN within 3 months of being here, married him.
3. Has gotten ran through by an obscene number of dudes, allegedly a few married ones as well. Has a good PT score, because the grading is different, but is a complete liability on any long movements in kit or with a ruck.
4. Actually a good soldier over all, nothing to complain about.
My biggest gripe, is none of the females will be placed as machine gunners. Physically I don't think any of them are close to being capable of carrying an m240L during a training exercise. There is nothing administratively you can do about them being pathetic physically, if they can still pass a pt test, which has significantly lower standards than the Male one.
