The Navy Gets Its First Female SEAL Candidate
Along with the SEAL officer candidate, another woman is up for an elite job as a special boat operator, some 18 months after the Pentagon opened front-line combat jobs to women.
The Navy says it has its first female candidates for two elite special operations jobs previously closed to women — including a prospective SEAL.
One woman is in the pipeline to be a SEAL officer, and another is on the path to by Military.com, an independent website. The Navy declined to identify the candidates, citing security considerations.
