41yo woman sues after being denied to enter the SEAL training program

"I got burnt out working 24/7"

Boy do I have news for you about SEALS...

MaxMouseOCX · 2025-04-23T07:55:40+00:00

She quite literally is too old now, and was pushing it at 35.

If she attempted it, she would fail... I'm around her age, but male, I'd have a go... But I am under no illusions that I stand a hope in hells chance of making the grade.

That and the fact I kinda like not enduring arduous torture these days, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than run 20 miles.

She's an idiot. Most people in the military are close to retirement at age 40.

XxDrummerChrisX · 2025-04-23T08:20:54+00:00

Look, she could be a bad ass woman and able to kill most physical tests. However this is BUD/S we’re talking about. Most men can’t even pass it.

Moses_Snake · 2025-04-23T08:16:25+00:00

Let her join, do not give her the "a woman has to pass this for us to look woke version", have her do the same training as a man, the same time in the field, the same everything. Film all of it.

When she quits and tries to say it was rigged to be harder for her, show the video of all the men around her doing the same training successfully. Then charge her how much that training would cost for the time before she quit.

As a betting man if you tell her she has to pay for the training if she fails, she'll make the correct decision and not go...

GeoDude86 · 2025-04-23T09:35:10+00:00

Would’ve been quicker to let her try and fail immediately or get peered out.

lumpynose · 2025-04-23T06:56:52+00:00

I'm all for stupid people wasting their money on lawyers for frivolous lawsuits.

ladyelenawf · 2025-04-23T18:16:10+00:00

Didn't she already get denied being an officer because she got a DUI? She should've just bowed out quietly, but noooooooo she wanted to double down.

walDenisBurning · 2025-04-23T17:46:56+00:00

Let her do it. Do not give her any special treatment or change the standards. If she passes she’s passes if she fails she fails. If she dies. Welp, she FAFO’d. Make a spectacle of it though to dissuade other people from thinking that sh*t is something they can just force their way into because they feel left out.

PRSHZ · 2025-04-23T10:11:12+00:00

Would she even survive such training?

HandsomeJack44 · 2025-04-23T19:10:46+00:00

I got denied by WO school for being too old at fuckin 31. If she thinks she can run one of the most grueling selection processes in the military at 41 she's lying to herself

rhoo31313 · 2025-04-24T02:09:42+00:00

She'd never make it at 41. They're doing her a favor by not entertaining this.

workaholic007 · 2025-04-23T18:52:31+00:00

Guaranteed she might have the spirit to do it......but her body will break during. 100%

jeromymanuel · 2025-04-23T19:12:30+00:00

So this means I can sue American Idol then.

The_real_bandito · 2025-04-24T11:07:09+00:00

As a 37 year old man, I cannot be a navy seal either. The cutoff is at 27 (you can be 28 at boot camp but you can’t begin the process of joining the Seals at 28).

VVarlos · 2025-04-24T00:40:00+00:00

Image of her face looks like old Emma Watson remade blonde with AI.

Just_an_user_160 · 2025-04-25T18:59:16+00:00

To be fair the SEAL training routines are very hard.

Odur29 · 2025-04-24T23:21:45+00:00

Let them start the training they will change their tune really quick.

alternatehistoryin3d · 2025-04-26T15:38:08+00:00

No woman has ever become a navy seal.

NHmpa · 2025-07-20T10:47:52+00:00

She coulda just went to a recruiter. Passed the test and buds paper work when she left for navy basic training. Why did she have to go to Officer school first if she really wanted her dream. 9 weeks of recruit training Pre buds 2 weeks. Buds. Maybe would be allowed to do hell week maybe not. Then back to the fleet peeling potatoes. I guess that’s why she wanted officer school first as a safety net

Island-Kush · 2025-08-26T15:04:13+00:00

She'd fail and that's a fact!

time_slider1971 · 2025-10-08T22:28:55+00:00

Last I checked, 28 is the age limit for candidates to participate in BUD/S training and hell week. I’ve read you could potentially get a waiver if you’re “exceptionally well qualified” up to age 30. So officer or not, she was too old by the current standards when she first applied.

Graesholt · 2025-04-23T10:13:27+00:00

I don't like the language of this: "For some context, the Navy has allowed women to try out for special combat teams since 2015 since we live in idiotic times..."

How is it idiotic to let women try out for anything?
What would be idiotic is giving women specialised (I.E. lowered) barriers of entry to said combat teams, like we do with police officers in my country.

If we have a set of physical qualifications, by all means let women try out, that's equality. I understand that most men will be at an advantage, but that is just what equality is. Some women build muscle easier than some men, don't mean those men get an easier bar of entry either.
The opposite of equality is saying that a male danish police officer has to be able to run at a certain speed and bench a certain amount of weight, while a female danish police officer has to be able to run at a different (slower) speed and bench a different (lower) amount of weight...

Puzzleheaded_Heat502 · 2025-04-23T12:54:08+00:00

I literally don’t care. But here it is she should have been allowed to try and fail. If she wants to get in she should be held to the same standards as the men. And this should be the case for all services.

Perfect_Sir4820 · 2025-04-23T08:27:09+00:00

I met a petite little woman with bean pole arms that claimed to have been a Marine once. I refused to believe it even after people told me its more about "the correct mindset"

Age thing aside, the author of the article (probably that entire website) sounds like a huge tool who’s never served in the military. If this was a dude suing at age 41 this would have never been an article, as this entire piece is completely misogynistic.

Now on to the age thing, the Navy currently allows for officers who will commission by their 42nd birthday to try out for the BUD/S. Funny how that part was left out of the article. It sounds like they were not offering her that same courtesy. Without knowing the full details, this is less a PPD and more some form of discrimination. It would be PPD if she was able to go and got crushed because they didn’t accommodate her and she failed out.

There are plenty of people in Special Operations direct combat roles who are over 40 and serving. Even after obtaining the title they are still expected to maintain peak physical fitness within their organizations to stay on a team. I’ve worked with a green beret in his late 50s serving on a team through a deployment and it is not uncommon to see people in their 40s. So, clearly age doesn’t particularly matter when it comes to actually doing the job.

u/newaggenesis made a valid point. To the people who downvoted him, take a deep look inside and question if the tone and narrative of the article is something that resonates with you. Because if it is, you might be a misogynist. It’s up to you to decide if that makes you a shitty person.

newaggenesis · 2025-04-23T05:30:59+00:00

What kind of incel fucking source is that...
