No cursing please. It depends on the jobs required at the CIA. Special Ops?? I hope that I am not placed in a unit with unqualified individuals. Let me stress again that I am not an anti-feminist. I believe in diversity, especially in the CIA. The only comment that I have made is apply the same standards to both men and women. Let them run the same distance with the same time requirement. They want to be tough like men, well do the same. |

axiety-
i heard they recently did away with almost all special ops and physical or military style training for the year-long ops course. the only people that do this stuff now are the ones slated for the special activities division (and I doubt there are many women in this division, regardless of whether or not they are qualified). are you saying a woman will be at a disadvantage in defensive driving or parachuting drills? most of the ops course is going to be focused around personality and intellectual exercises, not physical ones. the weak writer will have a harder time being a case officer than the physically weak. and the last i checked, women were not at a disadvantage with the pen.
