Altogether, ever since the pilot's course opened its doors to females in the late 1990s, 70 women have completed the grueling and prestigious training program. In December 2011, a record five women graduated from the course.
Next week's graduation ceremony will also mark Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's first official state ceremony as premier, following his inauguration on Sunday, June 13.
