I'll pay money to see your average female Marine on a gun.

They'll just give em all the easy jobs

There ain't a whole lot of easy jobs in the grunts. They had better limit female arty designations to cbr and the faggot development center. Most sure as fuck won't cut it on the gun line.

S shop rangers and KP detail for an enlistment. Technically they're still combat arms though

This shit is ridiculous....

Make the standards the same for both and be done with it.

There IS a Private Vasquez (from Aliens) here and there that are downright bad-ass, but this "everyone can do the same job" crap is crazy.... Hell, some dudes I know out here in the civilian world would never make it in a front line combat capacity.

BTW. I came really close to beating the base pull up record in basic.... of course, I was a skinny little bastard at the time too... lol

As a 13B, I am thrilled to have females come to the unit soon. Maybe we can finally burry the argument that women can do the same work as men. I wonder how many 155's a young female can throw into the cat.

Good news is this, we are slowly implementing MOS based PT tests.

Feminism at its finest.

And so what if you can do xx pull ups or lift more 155s? I want combat buddies that don't crack mentally most of all. Never was in combat but I saw plenty of guys freeze in training or over a piddly fire on a submarine. Most of all I want guys that can deal with stress and respond. If boot camp is too hard for you, I dont want you around when lives are at stake.

Its no secret but women actually suck at this. It's in the DNA.

You'll be told you're a sexist, get counseling for even considering you may be right and have to pick up their share of the load because they have a note from the doctor stating they cannot lift that much weight.

Huh?

Oh God, yeah you're right. My CSM looks hard to make examples out of Soldiers. It could get ugly. Then there will be the media attention that males soldiers harrasing female soldiers is a pandemic. Didn't really think about all the aspects.

[Cooter]

Huh?

I think it's a play on words... it's absolutely 100% impossible to enjoy Lawton

We went on a batt run and circled a platoon of MP's on our 8 mile run. While running around them we were singing cadence and one of the chick MP's complained to 3 corps and we had to go to sensitivity training because of it.

Fuck chicks. If you're in the military, you shouldn't be able to pull the 'I'm offended card.' If you are offended, shut the fuck up, get out and go be a snowflake somewhere else.

No. It`s just another example of how the conservative movement has been reduced to nothing more than a collection of middle aged angry bitter men that the sun still comes up everyday and it`s not the 1950`s anymore.

This place is going to be so much fun over the next 10 years.
