Ngalo uLwesihlanu, abesifazane ababili bazothweswa iziqu eWest Point Academy futhi babe ngabesifazane bokuqala kulo umlando ukujoyina ibutho elite le-Army Ranger, into ekhethekile yokusebenza egxile ekuhlaseleni nasekuhlaseleni endaweni ephethwe izitha. UCaptain Kristen Griest, iphoyisa eliqeqeshwe ngezindiza elisuka e-Connecticut, kanye no-1 Lieutenant Shaye Haver, umshayeli wendiza enophephela emhlane i-Apache waseTexas, baluphumelele ngempumelelo uqeqesho lwe-Army Ranger-olunye lwezivivinyo ezinzima kakhulu futhi ezidinga kakhulu emhlabeni.

Kulo Januwari odlule, iPentagon imemezele ukuthi ekugcineni abesifazane bazokwazi ukungena eSikoleni Samasosha Amasosha. Kuze kube yigunya lakamuva likaMongameli u-Obama lokuqeda ukuvinjelwa kwabesifazane ababambe izindima zokulwa, amasosha ase-US abenqabele ukufinyelela kunoma yiziphi lezi zikhundla nanoma yikuphi ukuqeqeshwa okungahlomisa abesifazane kulezo zindima. Ngezinombolo, sikhuluma ngezikhundla ezingama-331,000 abesifazane abangakwazanga ngisho nokuzethemba ukuzithola ngokwesaba ukuthi ngeke babambelele ezimweni zokulwa.

Lapho u-Obama esusa ukuvinjelwa, abaningi babekholelwa ukuthi abesifazane bazonikezwa amazinga athe xaxa. Amasosha aqinisekisa ukuthi lokho bekungeke kube njalo, okusho ukuthi uGriest noHaver bavele beqinile futhi benekhono njenganoma yiliphi elinye isosha lowesilisa eliqedele ukusikwa. (Lokhu kuphinde kwavula iminyango yabesifazane abasebenzela izwe lethu kwezinye izindlela-i-Navy isanda kumemezela ukuthi izovula ithimba layo le-elite SEAL kwabesifazane abangakwazi ukudlulisa uhlelo lwabo lokuqeqesha olunzima ngokulinganayo.)

UGriest noHaver bebeyingxenye yekilasi lokuqala elididiyelwe leRanger, elalinabesifazane abangu-19. Ngenkathi kungukuphela kwabo ababili abathola le thebhu ye-Army Ranger efiselekayo, bonke ngaphandle kwalabo besifazane abangu-19 be-badass basinda ezinsukwini ezine zokuqala zokuqeqeshwa ezaziwa kakhulu njengengxenye ebucayi yezifundo. Inkambo inzima kakhulu, empeleni, ukuthi amaphesenti angama-40 kuphela amasosha esilisa esikoleni iRanger ekugcineni athweswa iziqu. Ngakho-ke i-Griest ne-Haver akubona kuphela abesifazane bokuqala abakhahlela imbongolo yalesi sifundo, kodwa futhi banqobile lapho iningi lamadoda lingazange.

Yini eyenza lolu hlelo lube nzima kangaka? Nokho, okokuqala, i-Rangers-in-training kufanele izule ezindaweni ezintathu ezihlukene: izinkuni, izindawo ezinezintaba, kanye namaxhaphozi. Kundawo ngayinye, amasosha kufanele abhekane nesithiyo esinzima esenza umjaho wase-Spartan ubukeke njengosuku lokuphumula. Ukuze baye emzuliswaneni olandelayo, ama-Rangers afunayo kufanele alinganise izindonga, acwebezelise phansi olayini boziphu, agxume ngamapharashuthi asuka ezindaweni eziphakeme ngendlela engavamile, futhi asinde ekulweni okukhulu kwesandla nesandla nasekufanisweni kwesikhathi sempi-konke ngaphansi kwezimo ezimbi kakhulu ongazicabanga, njengezimo ezinzima. ukushintsha kwezinga lokushisa nesimo sezulu esingesihle. (Zama Inselele Entsha Kakhulu Ka-Tough Mudder: I-Tear Gas ukuze uthole ukunambitheka okuncane kwalokho lawa ma-rockstar okwakumelwe abhekane nakho.) Amathumbu ewodwa ngeke akungenise emzuliswaneni owodwa, noma kunjalo. Uzodinga namandla okushaya ingqondo nokukhuthazela. Amasosha kufanele abeke amakhilomitha amahlanu ngaphansi kwemizuzu engama-40; qedela imashi engamamitha angu-12 ephethe amakhilogremu angu-35 wegiya ngaphansi kwamahora amathathu; master isivivinyo sokubhukuda esinzima esigxile ekubekezeleni; futhi unqobe ama-pushups angama-49, ama-sit-up angama-59, nama-chin-ups ayisithupha. Futhi ubucabanga ukuthi ama-Burpees ayi-10 aqinile! (Zenze ziqine nakakhulu ngalezi Izindlela Ezintathu Zokukhuphula Ama-Burpees Akho.)

Uhlelo aluhloli nje amandla omzimba wamasosha esikhathi esizayo; kunalokho, ihlose ukusunduza abantu ngabanye baze bafinyelele lapho okunqamuka khona-bese ibaqhubezela phambili. Kungani? Ukulingisa ubuqiniso bezimo abazobhekana nazo nokuzilungiselela izimo ezimbi kakhulu. Abaqeqeshwayo baphila ngokwesilinganiso sokudla okukodwa ngosuku kanye namahora ambalwa kakhulu okulala-bavuswa phakathi kobusuku ukuze baqedele izivivinyo zokuziqeqesha ezizenzekelayo. Kuyo yonke inkambo, amasosha abhekana cishe nazo zonke izindawo eziphakeme zokwesaba, izinyoka ezinesihlungu, ubumnyama, ukulwa kwezibhamu, kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi abesabi ekuqedeni izifundo. (Thatha leso sifundo uye ekhaya nge-9 Ukwesaba Ukuyeka Namuhla.)

Akudingekile ukusho ukuthi, sihlabeke umxhwele ngokuzuzisa kwalezi zintokazi.

Njengoba isikhundla sikaRanger wesifazane singakaze sibe khona ngaphambili, iPentagon kusafanele inqume ukuthi yiziphi izindima zokulwa uHaver noGriest (nabo bonke abesifazane abalandela ezinyathelweni zabo!) abazobamba. Kepha laba bobabili bafakazele ukuthi bangakwazi ukuhlala nabafana abaqine kunabo bonke. (Bheka enye indaba ekhuthazayo: Owesifazane Osebenzisa Ibhayisikili Ukuze Athuthukise Ukulingana Kobulili.)

"Isitshudeni ngasinye seRanger School sikhombise ubunzima bokuqina ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo bokuhola ngempumelelo izinhlangano kunoma yiliphi ibanga. Lesi sifundo sikhombisile ukuthi wonke amasosha, kungakhathalekile ubulili, angakwazi ukufeza amandla akhe aphelele," kusho uJohn M. McHugh, unobhala wamasosha , kusho umbiko wePentagon. Hambani, mantombazane!
