Well, the Army's EOD program is also open to women. Women in all the support units can use that stuff in today's Army. In Iraq, the most commonly targeted U.S. units were support units like transportation and quartermaster... so any sort of Combat Leadership training would be valuable for those soldiers.
Other Army Schools open to women are Pathfinder, Airborne, Jump Master, Air Assault, HALO... and maybe Scuba, but I don't think the Special Operations Dive school is open to women, but I could be mistaken.
The "Sapper Tab" is pretty well respected. It's sort of like "Junior Ranger School" plus Combat Engineering... it's a pretty tough course. I think that if a woman wanted to earn all the qualification badges she could to prove herself in the Army, a Sapper Tab would go a long way. It's not Ranger School, but the fact that Sapper School has a Tab and other tough schools like "Sniper School" or the LRSC Course don't, says it's pretty worth while.
I know the Navy EODs are supposed to be pretty cool. I just don't know a lot about them. However, at the end of the day, I don't like them changing my Joes' bios... Lady Jaye was always in the Army. Making her a sailor just doesn't work for me. If they wanted a SEAL in the movie, there are plenty of great characters we would have loved to see: Torpedo, Wet-Suit, Shipwreck, etc.
