The first two female soldiers ever to graduate from the US Army’s elite Ranger School have been identified.

Capt. Kristen Griest, 26, and 1st Lt. Shaye Haver, 25, were the only ones among 17 women to pass the training course.

Griest, a military police officer from Orange, Conn., and Haver, an Apache helicopter pilot from Copperas Cove, Texas, will receive their Ranger Tabs alongside 94 male soldiers in a graduation ceremony Friday at Fort Benning, Ga., the home of Ranger school HQ.

The women, both graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point, stuck it out through the rigorous 62-day course, withstanding sleepless nights, grueling weather conditions, arduous hikes and simulated combat operations.
