It's not about whether a bullet can differentiate between the sexes! There is a vast difference between a medic role and a combat role, virtually every lifer I've met who was in a infantry role is completely knackered now. Its not just combat its the numerous back-to-back courses, exercises and deployments. I can see a few progressing, but I can't see many doing 20 years+

And as I said if a woman has it in her then why not? The constant courses, exercises and deployments isn't a hardship only felt by infantry trades! I'm sure there are many others (mine being one of which if you're on TSW for instance) who also feel these hardships. There was a time females weren't allowed to serve there but we have been successfully doing so now for what must be 18 years and apparently that was never going to work either.

One of my hobbies is Prepping and Survival or SURVEX as we in the know call it, and as part of it I am in a survival syndicate and there are 6 of us and 4 of us has long hair but only one of us with long hair is a woman.

I dont think our syndicate woman, she would not be very good as a RAF soldier because on Sunday as part of our SURVEX she was told to do a find and treat thing like you do in Call of Duty when you give healthpacks to injured people but like, in real life.

So I was laid in the middle of a field waiting for her to give me a health pack on Sunday for six hours and she never showed up which is rubbish really but I stuck it out and waited until Monday at 08:00hrs when I called the syndicate leader and asked when I was goiing to get my healthpack because I was really cold and stuff. But he said summat like they all went to the the pub at 5 which is a bit stupid because it wasn't in the plan.

Anyway, so now i've got a massive cold and am in trouble with my boss for taking yesterday off so the moral of this story is that women should not be on the frontline because they just cannot deliver like, simple stuff and whatever.

Judging by your performance on the Goat so far, she's got my vote.
