Whistleblower: Lower Standards For Women In Military
From The Federalist:
The female captain dropped out of physically demanding combat controller course exercises several times, but unlike male trainees with similar difficulties, Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) officials kept extending special concessions to keep her in the program.
Small Sacrifice in Honor of the Ultimate Sacrifice
From:Â Air Force Special Operations Command Public Affairs
by Maj. Kristi Beckman
A team of 18 special tactics have one objective in mind: honor the fallen.
The team began an 812-mile march from Medina Annex, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas to Hurlburt Field, Fla., to commemorate 17 fallen comrades.
As they marched out at 5 a.m. in the darkness, carrying 50-pound rucksacks and a baton with a fallen Airman’s name, the only sound heard was the footsteps of the marchers, and it was almost as if the seventeen fallen were marching with them.
Major Travis Woodworth, Special Tactics Training Squadron commander, said the meaning of the memorial march is not one of these men’s deaths is in vain.
“Every day I walk into the squadron and see their faces on our memorial wall,” Woodworth said. “This march will ensure new operators and young Airmen don’t ever forget the cost of freedom.”
