Lachisanu, azimayi awiri amaliza maphunziro awo ku West Point Academy ndikukhala azimayi oyamba mbiri kulowa nawo gulu lankhondo la Elite Army Ranger, gawo lapadera lomwe limagwira ntchito zowukira ndi kuwukira m'dera lomwe adani akukhala. A Captain Kristen Griest, apolisi oyenerera ndege ochokera ku Connecticut, ndi 1 Lieutenant Shaye Haver, woyendetsa ndege wa Apache wochokera ku Texas, adamaliza maphunziro awo a Army Ranger - mayeso ovuta kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

Januware watha, Pentagon yalengeza kuti azimayi atha kulowa Sukulu ya Army Ranger. Mpaka pomwe Purezidenti Obama adalamula posachedwapa kuti athetse chiletso chokhudza azimayi omwe ali ndi maudindo omenyera nkhondo, asitikali aku US anali atawaletsa mwayi wolowa m'malo aliwonsewa ndi magawo aliwonse omwe angapatse azimayi maudindo otere. Mu manambala, tikulankhula maudindo 331,000 omwe amayi samayembekeza kuti adzawapeza poopa kuti sangatenge nawo mbali pomenya nkhondo.

Pamene Obama adachotsa chiletsocho, ambiri adakhulupirira kuti akazi adzapatsidwa miyezo yochepetsetsa. Asitikali adatsimikizira kuti sizingakhale choncho, kutanthauza kuti Griest ndi Haver adakhala olimba mtima komanso aluso ngati msilikari wina aliyense wamwamuna yemwe adamaliza kudula. (Izi zatseguliranso azimayi omwe akutumikira dziko lathu munjira zina - Asitikali apamadzi atangolengeza kuti atseguliranso gulu lawo la SEAL kwa akazi omwe atha kuphunzitsanso zovuta zawo mofananamo.)

Griest ndi Haver anali m'gulu loyamba la Ranger, lomwe linali ndi akazi 19. Pomwe iwo ndi okhawo omwe alandila tabu ya Army Ranger yosiririka, onse koma amodzi mwa azimayi 19 oyipawa adapulumuka masiku anayi oyambilira omwe amadziwika kuti gawo loopsa kwambiri pamaphunzirowa. Maphunzirowa ndi ovuta, motero, kuti 40% yokha ya asirikali achimuna ku Ranger sukulu omaliza maphunziro. Chifukwa chake Griest ndi Haver siakazi okhawo oyamba kumenya bulu wamaphunzirowa, komanso adapambana pomwe amuna ambiri sanapambane.

N'chiyani chikupangitsa kuti pulogalamuyi ikhale yovuta kwambiri? Pongoyambira, ma Ranger-in-training amayenera kuyenda m'malo atatu osiyana: nkhalango, mapiri, ndi dambo. Pamalo aliwonse, asitikali amayenera kukumana ndi zopinga zomwe zimapangitsa Mpikisano wa Spartan kuwoneka ngati tsiku lopuma. Kuti musunthire gawo lotsatira, ofuna Ranger akuyenera kukwera makoma, kutsetsereka zipline, kudumpha ndi ma parachute kuchokera kumtunda wopambana, ndikupulumuka kumenya nkhondo yamanja ndi zoyeserera munthawi yankhondo-zonse munthawi zovuta kwambiri, monga zovuta kutentha kumasintha komanso nyengo imakhala yovuta. (Yesani Tough Mudder's New Challenge Challenge: Tear Gas kwa kukoma pang'ono kwa zomwe rockstarswa adakumana nazo.) Matumbo okhawo sangakudutseni mozungulira, ngakhale. Mudzafunikanso mphamvu ndi chipiriro. Asitikali amayenera kutuluka mamailosi asanu mphindi 40; malizitsani ulendo wamtunda wamakilomita 12 wokhala ndi mapaundi 35 azida pansi pa maola atatu; khalani ndi mayeso osambira ovuta omwe amayang'ana kupirira; ndikugonjetsa ma pushups a 49, ma sit-up a 59, ndi maupangiri asanu ndi limodzi. Ndipo mukuganiza kuti ma burpee 10 anali ovuta! (Apangitseni kukhala olimba kwambiri ndi Njira Zitatu Zokwezera Ma Burpe Anu.)

Pulogalamuyi sikuti imangoyesa mphamvu zakuthupi za asirikali amtsogolo; m'malo mwake, cholinga chake ndi kukankhira anthu pamlingo wosweka - ndiyeno kuwakankhira patsogolo. Chifukwa chiyani? Kutengera zenizeni zomwe angakumane nazo ndikuwakonzekeretsa pazovuta kwambiri. Ophunzira amapeza chakudya chimodzi patsiku komanso maola ochepa ogona - amadzutsidwa pakati pausiku kuti amalize masewera olimbitsa thupi. Pa nthawi yonseyi, asilikali amakumana ndi zoopsa zilizonse, monga njoka zaululu, mdima, kumenyana ndi mfuti, ndi zina zambiri kuonetsetsa kuti akamaliza maphunziro awo akhale opanda mantha. (Tengani phunzirolo kunyumba ndi 9 Mantha Okusiyani Lero.)

Mosakayikira, tachita chidwi kwambiri ndi zomwe amayiwa achita.

Popeza udindo wa Ranger wachikazi sunachitikepo, Pentagon sinadziwebe kuti ndi maudindo ati a Haver ndi Griest (ndi azimayi onse omwe amatsatira mapazi awo!) Koma awiriwa atsimikiziradi kuti atha kukhala limodzi ndi anyamata okhwima kwambiri, olimba kwambiri. (Onani nkhani ina yolimbikitsa: Mkazi Amene Akugwiritsa Ntchito Panjinga Kulimbikitsa Kufanana Kwa Akazi.)

"Wophunzira aliyense ku Ranger School awonetsa kulimba kwakuthupi ndi kwamaganizidwe kuti atsogolere mabungwe moyenera mulimonse. Maphunzirowa atsimikizira kuti msirikali aliyense, ngakhale atakhala wamkazi, atha kuchita zonse zomwe angathe," a John M. McHugh, mlembi wankhondo , adatero mu Pentagon. Pitani, atsikana!
