Eight Women Complete Week One of Army Ranger School

Apr 23, 2015 | by Matthew Cox

Half of the female soldiers who entered the first co-ed class of U.S. Army Ranger School have completed the first week of the traditionally all-male course.

Eight out of 16 female soldiers completed the Ranger Assessment Phase, or RAP week. On the male side, 184 males out of 380 finished RAP.

"This is an overall success rate of 48 percent (48.3 percent for men and 42.1 percent for women) for RAP week and within historic norms for the Ranger course," according to an April 23 Fort Benning, Ga., press release.

A total of 19 women showed up to take part in the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade's first co-ed Ranger course Monday at Fort Benning, but three failed to pass the Ranger Physical Fitness Assessment, a requirement to enter Ranger School.

The remaining 192 males and females now have 57 days to go to complete the physically and mentally punishing infantry course.

Senior Army leaders recently decided to allow females to attend the historically male-only, infantry course. The effort is a result of former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's January 2013 directive that all services open combat-arms roles to women that so far have been reserved for men. The services have until 2016 to make this happen.

To get past the first day of RAP, students had perform 49 push-ups in two minutes, 59 sit-ups in two minutes and six chin-ups to strict standard, Ranger officials maintain. They also had to complete a five-mile run in 40 minutes.

Candidates also had to complete the combat water survival assessment.

The CWSA consists of a log walk and rope drop where candidates have to scale a ladder 30 feet above the pond, walk up and down a short set of stairs and crawl out onto a rope to a hanging Ranger Tab sign. They do one pull-up and ask permission to drop into the pond before falling into the pond and swimming to the side.

Then the swim-test portion requires them to go into the water, calmly take off their equipment and swim 15 meters without panic to demonstrate their ability to swim to safety should they get into a position where they are in over their head in the swamps of Florida or anywhere else during training, Ranger officials maintain.

This was day one of the Ranger Assessment Phase, or Rap week.

The second morning began with a 10-kilometer, land navigation course. Students have to find four out of five points in five hours – 2.5 hours in the dark and 2.5 hours during daylight.

Following the land-nav course, students spend the rest of the afternoon crawling through the mud and negotiating other challenges on the Malvesti obstacle course.

The last hurdle of RAP was a 12-mile road march on Thursday that students had complete in less than three hours, carrying a rifle, fighting load carrier vest and a rucksack weighing approximately 35 pounds, the press release said.

Like male candidates, female Ranger School students will have to spend long hours weighted down with infantry weapons and equipment on patrols through the thick forests of Fort Benning, and the dense swamps of Camp Rudder, Florida.

They'll also be expected to climb and rappel in the steep mountain terrain of Camp Merrill near Dahlonega, Georgia.

Ranger School candidates have to endure these challenges on two meals a day while getting three to four hours of sleep a night for eight weeks.

911 Operator Tells Burglary Victim to Put Her Gun Down

HOLMES BEACH (FOX 13) 

It was broad daylight, just around 2:30 in the afternoon. NJ Logan was upstairs at her Holmes Beach home off 6th Avenue.She was resting after hip replacement surgery when she heard a noise downstairs."I kept hearing a commotion, like there were people walking around down there," she said.She was alone. Her husband was out playing Bridge."It is a little frightening. You know that you don't have the security that you thought you had," she says.But her fear didn’t stop her."Once I realized it wasn't my husband, you have no idea how fast you can go," she said.In a police report, officers said the suspect used a large rock to smash the bottom glass out of the door. They then cut out the screen.On the other side of the door, NJ was awake and ready."I don't know what was going on in my mind. Honestly all I wanted was my gun," she said.She grabbed it and went downstairs."I was probably running down the stairs with my new hip so to speak," said NJShe yelled out warnings to whoever was downstairs."I didn't want to shoot. I really didn't want to have to shoot anybody," she said.She then called for help."When I called 911 she kept saying put the gun down. Put the gun down and I said I'll put the gun down when I see the police," NJ said.Holmes Beach Police Chief William Tokajer said there have been a few incidents in NJ's neighborhood -- one she may have stopped."I think it's a wake up call to any would-be burglar," Chief Tokajer said.While her mind isn't completely at ease, she sleeps better knowing her protection is just a drawer away."I worry very much about somebody breaking in again."But she has no plans to get rid of her weapon."I believe in guns inside your house, because I don't think anybody has the right to break into your private domain. I'll definitely have the gun up there that is for sure," she said.The Holmes Beach Police Department is still looking for the suspects.

Vigorous exercise helps people live longer

Vigorous exercise, the kind that makes you sweat, get red in the face and breathe hard, may be better than moderate exercise when it comes to living longer, researchers said Monday.

According to a study by Australian researchers based on more than 200,000 adults over age 45, and is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine.

The study participants were followed for more than six years.

Those who did jogging, aerobics or competitive tennis -- vigorous exercise for 30 percent of their weekly workouts -- had a mortality rate that was nine to 13 percent lower than those who did moderate exercise, like swimming, social tennis, or household chores.

"The benefits of vigorous activity applied to men and women of all ages, and were independent of the total amount of time spent being active," said lead author Klaus Gebel from James Cook University's Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention.

"The results indicate that whether or not you are obese, and whether or not you have heart disease or diabetes, if you can manage some vigorous activity it could offer significant benefits for longevity."

Currently, the World Health Organization urges adults to do at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week.

But the current research suggests that given the choice, people should opt for some higher intensity exercise if they can, and if their doctor agrees, the study authors said.

"Our research indicates that even small amounts of vigorous activity could help reduce your risk of early death," Gebel said.

"For those with medical conditions, for older people in general, and for those who have never done any vigorous activity or exercise before, it's always important to talk to a doctor first."
A separate study published Monday in the journal Circulation, a publication of the American Heart Association, found that sudden cardiac death during sports activities is rare among middle aged people who are physically fit.
Researchers reviewed more than 1,200 cases of sudden cardiac arrest -- when the heart stops beating due to an electrical disturbance in the organ that stops vital blood flow -- in men and women aged 35 to 65.
Only five percent of the cases involved occurred during exercise such as running, basketball or biking.
In two-thirds of the cases, patients had a previously documented cardiovascular disease or symptoms before the sudden cardiac arrest.

"Our study findings reinforce the idea of the high-benefit, low-risk nature of exercise in middle age and emphasize the importance of education to maximize safety, particularly as the population ages and more baby boomers increasingly take part in sports activities to prolong their lives," said senior author Sumeet Chugh, associate director for genomic cardiology at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, California.
