Tuesday, August 10, 2004 1st Filipino woman enters West Point By Purita S. Licas TUGUEGARAO CITY—The first Filipino woman to be admitted to the male-dominated United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point has revealed the secret of her success—putting God first above everything else. Cadet Christy A. Achanzar, 22, passed the tough entrance test for Foreign Exchange Cadet nominees, which she took with four other cadets from the Philippine Military Academy early this year. The test was conducted by the US Defense Attache’s office. Achanzar, the only female who qualified, could not believe she passed the rigid entrance examination. “I just can’t believe I made it, entering a rather male-dominated profession,” she said. There were 50 of them who took the test. Achanzar will have a Filipino classmate at West Point—Cadet Mario M. Feliciano, who also passed the same examination. more here :thumb: |

sorry to disappoint your dreams.. pero malabong magkaroon ng female na CSAFP.. because one of the main qualification is combat experience.. and sadly no army female officers are allowed in the frontline as combat leader    ..
