How about a nice water jump, and swim to the shore? Pick-up boats? Yea, we've got a couple. They're for the gear. See ya on the sand.

#3 4,000 years of recorded human history. Maybe if you go back to the science of natural selection you might find reasons why there are no whole units of Xenas in the armies of the world, past or present. Or mines or forestry concerns or sea going commerce vessels et al staffed largely by the other gender. The urban bubble concept of the world will for ever be surprised the world does not match its fantasies of how it should be.

Yea, I know it's cold and you can't feel your toes. I thought you liked 'guy stuff'....extreme sports, skiing, snowshoes, camping, etc. No worries, it's an achio sled, and it's your turn to pull it. You'll warm right up.

#5 Don't change the training, don't change the entrance requirements, don't expect ANYBODY to pass. The truly excellent will pass. A lady might pass. if she does she'll have earned all the respect from the community and everyone's.

If they change the training or rules for ladies nobody will ever respect them and they'll be more likely to get killed.
