The boot camp gender divide: The case for co-ed training

Another bad idea. Which standards will we adopt or are we going for integrated and unequal. Things have been working pretty well for the Corps so far. Let's try not to screw this up too.

Years ago, women wanted to enlist in the Corps to try to become Marines so they were allowed to do so. We gave them an avenue namely boot camp and now people, the vast majority of which are not Marines want things to change in the name of equality. Get a life. Years ago, the females in the Corps wanted to be taken more seriously so they asked to change their physical fitness test to require them to run 3 miles so now they run 3 miles. They are reviewing how to incorporate the pull up into the female physical fitness test and I believe they will eventually do it. When the Corps decides it no longer makes sense to separate female and male boot camp it will make the change. I can't see a reason to change just to be PC.

TO KEEP the integrity OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS COMBAT readiness IT SHOULD REMAIN OUR policy NOT allowing WM's into Combat MOS's namely the 0300 field No matter WHAT !!! This Gender divide SHOULD not be broached!! There ARE many Reg's in place FOR MARINES , by MARINES to KEEP OUR MARINE CORPS the Greatest Fighting force the WORLD has ever known. If other branches are trying OR doing so, let them. The United States MARINE Corps IS UNIQUE !!! If it's not broke, WHY try and fix it.
