[Mikelawton]

You misread. 3 are completing it and going back to non-infantry MOS. 1 is healing to retry. She is beta.

They have officially lowered the standards for women, so you know.

I'm currently in the Infantry and have been since 09. ITB isn't difficult, but they will get **** on in the fleet. Thank Christ I'm getting out soon so I don't have to deal with all this fukery.

ah i see, what is non-infantry MOS?

[Mobraelite]

its still hasnt been passed that women will be infantry in Marine Corps, and it will not be passed

the idea is bouncing around but ultimately will not go thru..its more a test


if by some stroke of luck it does then i will withdrawal from the Marine Corps

[doyoueveneat]

what does it involve? carrying a 10 pound backpack for 100 meters?

[GetHimABodyBag]

What would Chesty Puller think of this?

[KillOrBKilled]

Apparently peoples lives are worth catering to "equality"

My best m8 is a prison guard in arizona. One of the females in his academy could not properly wield a shotgun in training. You want these people as your backup against murderers?

No they haven't. These weren't admision standards just to get in, this was the training. They had to do the same length ruck march etc. Honestly, good for them. So long as women are not given any special treatment, and have to go through the exact same training etc, then good for them.

Before people say "well you cant test what actual combat is like blah blah blah" that means that the US military is incapable of adequately training and screening its personnel. In which case, there is no way to know how any of them men who passed training will react either.

Just means a job that doesn't involve shooting people , like a marine pay clerk or supply person. Every position that you have at a normal job they have in the military. Only a few actually do all the running jumping and shooting... the rest are just support.

What would Chesty Puller think of this?

its is the ultimate disgrace and in 238 years of the Marine Corps women have never fought alongside males

if this really happens I will no longer be in the Corps and withdrawal for it truly is the straw that will breaks my back

America will truly lose all hope if this happens

[Achilles87]

America good luck with your beta ******* goals of 2013

[SquirtlePower]

Still a better army than Canada.

interesting, i honestly dont know anything at all about military. are these people who have these "normal jobs" being sent to places like Afghanistan and Iraq as well?

That's the problem though brah. They are receiving so much push for it, that it is only a matter of time before women lead troops into combat.

I understand that it is different in training, but the transition is inevitable.

[Liftzone08]

Thing is that they make some males carry the women's ****+supplies. like wtf if u want equal rights make the bishes carry their own chit. feminist logic.

[BloodyR]

No. She did.

[kingkarlkennedy]

Out of what, a billion males?

Good going females you're 4/1000000000 as good as men

[Payrab]

All the time. They call themselves combat vets, but weren't anywhere remotely close to combat. This is why infantry marines/soldiers have such a strong hatred toward people who aren't in the infantry.

When I was a private I got stuck on a sh!tty working party out in the desert, it was me, this other guy, and this girl.. We were in the Mojave desert and we had to make sure there were no vehicles driving down this dirt road in the middle of no where, because they were having a week of live fire exercises. We were dropped off with a radio, 3 boxes of MRE's, a tent, and a few jugs of water, and told we had to check in every hour (all through the night too), and we'd be picked up in 5 days. Well after 2 days, she radio'd in and told them she was having "time of the month issues", so they picked her up and brought someone else out. I have nothing against females in the military but there are just some jobs that restrict them. Had this been in the middle of a real situation, she wouldn't have been able to radio in and get taken out... She may have bled to death... Ok I'm done

[Num3n]

if they pass they pass. oh well

[Mikelawton]

oh i thought the thread had been deleted or something. id be interested to see a female miscer's perspective/opinion on this. hopefully it can be kept a civilized discussion/thread that doesnt resort to name calling

[GermanLifter]

demi moore became a navy seal u fukkin *******s, who cares

I understand that it is different in training, but the transition is inevitable.

IF, (emphasis on if) women are able to demonstrate that they are capable of leading troops into combat (this already occurs in other countries such as Canada) than I fail to see the problem. You cannot deny them the ability to do so simply BECAUSE they are women.

Now, if only 1 out of every 10 000, or 100 000 women is able to complete the required training that is fine. Then they are being denied because of an inability to complete the training. But there is no principled reason to deny them the opportunity to do so if they are able to complete all the required training.

Again, I know there is a difference between training and actual combat. But if through training you cannot determine who will be able to handle the stress of combat and who will not be able to, then there is a huge problem for the US military and that would still not be a basis for denying women the ability to serve in combat - since ultimately all you can say is "I dont know"

lol... what?


strong generalizing. Was buddies with and drank with a bunch of infantry marines during deployment. I wasn't infantry.

[Bawniy]
