/// Where I used to work we had armed MoD Plod at the gates. The female was a far superior shot tan her male colleagues. ///

Blimey how did you know that, how many did she shoot trying to get through the gates?

[woofgang]

she didn't shoot any more than anyone else but hers were all leg joint shots which meant they survived for questioning :)

Something occurred to me.....
Will the females who apply for The Paras/P Company take part in the milling along with all the other recruits?

The ramifications of that one are mind boggling!

So you think woman can do heavy boxing either!!
No end to your sexism is there!

[Mamyalynne]

The women who apply for these positions may well be few in number but will hopefully have made themselves aware of what is required.

If they don't pass the rigorous testing, they're out as with any male applicant.

Wrong! Just look at Katie Taylor....

I'm thinking about how the male recruits are going to feel about having to give a female colleague a pummelling.
Not sexism, just thinking about all the ramifications of this PC experiment.
What happens if she is having a relationship with another recruit on the course/in the unit?
None of this has been properly thought through, but never mind, it'll all come out in the wash at the cost of unit cohesion.
