C*l Y***s not only passed, but came Top of the course, I believe he also married a female Ranger? although I could be wrong with that part.

I do believe you are correct in that CY's missus was a female Ranger.

I don't believe that the course is open to females as it's an Infantry course.

I seem to recall Capt Jeremy "Audie Murphy" McKenzie wearing a Ranger badge in 1970...

..didn't seem to do him any harm!

When I was in (mid 90's) we had a Sgt in 2RRF who had passed it some time previously. Wore the flash on his no.2's

Good effort.

What does the course involve? How long is it etc?

There were rumours upon rumours about that bloke - who knows which ones were true? I hope that the one about taking one of his kids to be beasted by the PTIs was true...

She may of been a Park Ranger but certainly not an Army Ranger.

The course to earn your Ranger "tabs" is not open to women and the Ranger Bn's certainly don't have any females amongst them or at least they didn't the last time I worked with them.
