Woman may be 1st to join SEALs

THE ELITE, can-do-anything Navy SEALs have a new first: a female officer candidate.

She’s making a splash more than a year after the Defense Department said it was changing its rules so women can serve in combat roles on the front line.

Twenty years after Demi Moore was “G.I. Jane” in the movies, the unidentified woman will undergo the grueling physical and mental tryout to join the SEALs, which stands for Sea, Air and Land Forces. According to Military.com, the woman is a junior participating in her college’s ROTC program.

The site said two other women are in boot camp for other superselective Navy combat roles.

As America’s combat creme de la creme, SEALs are tasked with all sorts of covert actions and captures of high-value targets. One of the most famous missions — that’s publicly known at least — is SEAL Team 6’s 2011 killing of Al Qaeda head Osama Bin Laden.
