So far, there have been a couple of women who have tried but the furthest any have made it was day 2 of training. The two biggest things are upper body strength and weight-bearing activities such as buddy carries and rucking. In order to prepare, I would recommend a stepwise approach to ensure you can attain the standards required. You can look at the old Indoc grad standards as a reference and reverse plan from that. Or you can check out my workout plans as well.

Start rucking a lot. Get very comfortable wit 60 lbs on your back. Also focus on load bearing activities (i.e Farmer carries, Buddy carries, Training aids)

I think the easy part will be making it through selection and the hard part will be the social aspect and the dynamic of the small team. The most dangerous thing about it would be that a woman on the team will be a distraction at first, but as long as she can do the job I think it would work out just fine, but obviously uncharted territory for me as well.

Definitely. I believe females have the capacity to make it through and graduate the pipeline. The most difficult part will be the social aspect and integrating them into a place where they will have to prove themselves over and over again. Once the team trusts her I think there will be absolutely no problems. This is not a female only thing though, every new PJ has to earn the trust and respect of their teammates.
