The woman will go on to become an operator on one of the Navy's special boat crews conducting covert operations, so she cannot be identified by name for security purposes, a US Navy spokesperson said. The Naval Special Warfare Command, which includes Navy SEALs and Special Boat crews, supports maritime "special operation forces" that "conduct full-spectrum operations" either by themselves or with other military partners, the US Navy said in a release.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
