42-year-old female lawyer suing to become Navy SEAL

A Long Island-based lawyer who aspires to be the US Navy's "first female SEAL" has sued the naval force, allegedly because it first "delayed" her application and later rejected it as she was "too old."

Amanda S Reynolds told the New York Post, “The opportunity . . . was kind of taken away from me. I would like that to be reinstated. I would just like the outcome to be determined by the merits instead of by some sort of technicality."

She added, “I could have gone to officer candidate school in February, but they delayed my application without reason or cause and then they told me I was too old."

According to court papers, Navy officials first "failed" to advance the application of Reynolds, 41. Then, they told her in the fall she would no longer qualify for Naval Officer Training Command in Newport, Rhode Island, because she would be over the age limit of 42 by the time she graduated.

Maybe she can try to become a Federal criminal investigator next (GS series 1811) with a minimum age of 37.

There are already SCOTUS cases with age restricted limits for certain positions within the Federal Government (be it the civilian workforce or military). She will lose. Her case will get thrown out quickly.

Just a publicity stunt.

Best solution is allow her to go thru BUDs.

She'll ring the bell in the first afternoon.

Wait till she sees the mountain she will have to run up.

Just a publicity stunt.

To boost her law firm no doubt.

 

[Dr.Destructo]

I'm sure there are women who have applied and been denied.
But don't they have to take a test first to see if they can even GET the application?

I can't speak for SEALs, but Army Special Forces requires you to max a PT test at age 17 male, and you have to have skills that prepare you for being on a team, which was usually years of being in a qualified MOS. Unless you're an SF Baby. But they have age requirements.

Running thru that sand carrying a Zodiac is just as bad.
And when you hit that 45 degree surf, your balls go back up.

A Zodiac is a inflatable boat with heavy rubber bladders. It's strong enough to be able to mount a small outboard motor on it, but the SEALs just use it to do water insertions using paddles during their BUDs training.

Reminds me of back in the day when that pudgy girl sued to get accepted into the Citadel, where she was unprepared and promptly washed out.

Her fame from this stunt is now forgotten as she didn't make the cut.

Another bored statist left attention hound trying to draw attention to herself.

I encourage them to try. But I don't think anyone should just pencil-whip them thru the course.

They have to meet the standards like everyone else.

You don't enlist in the Navy to "become" a SEAL. My guess is that it's a publicity stunt or an effort by the left to embarrass the Military.

It's been tried before and failed.

She sounds like a nutjob. She claims she joined the Navy in 2018, but was never deployed or assigned anywhere. Navy has no record of her enlistment
