During the last two weeks, US Defense Watch has been reporting on Representative Steve Russell’s request on September 15
th
for the Ranger School records of the first two female graduates,
Captain Kristen Griest and First Lieutenant Shaye Haver. It is not known
whether or not Congressman Russell has asked for the records for Major
Lisa Jaster, who graduated today from Ranger School.
Russell’s request to Secretary of the Army, John McHugh, was at first delayed on September 24
th, when McHugh asked for an extension, noting “privacy concerns” and time to compile the records together.
Nearly two weeks passed without Russell being informed when the
records would be delivered to his office. When the Army finally
contacted Russell they told him that many of the students’ records had
been shredded.
What if the Army is covering up the fact that Griest and Haver and
now Jaster never came within a mile of passing and were let through
Ranger School, even though they should have been sent home?
