The Navy announced a historical achievement Thursday after a female sailor became the first woman to successfully complete the grueling Naval Special Warfare training and receive her pins. "Becoming the first woman to graduate from a Naval Special Warfare training pipeline is an extraordinary accomplishment, and we are incredibly proud of our teammate," Rear Adm. Hugh Howard, commander of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command said. The newly minted female SWCC will eventually be assigned to one of the Navy's three elite boat teams. Though nine women have attempted the Marine special operations training, a female has not yet been able to successfully complete the program.
