Question about Females in Combat

[Grizalltheway]

No shit. Didn't all but one wash out at the Marine standards.

Not to mention, they smell once a month. Not trying to be a jerk, but women in combat have real troubles.

Cue Da #1 Bozo.

Didn't you watch GI Jane? She made it...right?

Pretty sure Katy Perry did, too. Point SH.

Don't I get a half a point for the assist?

I'd be more likely to spill the beans if they told me they were going to cut my balls off if I didn't. Thank God I'll never be in that situation.

There is likely ZERO chance a chick could make in in any of the branch's Spec Ops.

This isn't even special ops.

The Marine Corps’ effort to evaluate whether more combat jobs should open to women marked another milestone last week when the second of two female volunteers washed out of infantry officer training.

A second lieutenant, she was dropped from the program Friday after failing to complete required training due to unspecified medical reasons, a Marine official told Marine Corps Times. It’s unclear whether she was injured or if she became ill.

The other volunteer, also a second lieutenant, dropped out Sept. 28 after she was unable to complete the program’s introductory combat endurance test. Nearly 30 men also washed out on the first day.

Known as the Infantry Officers Course, the demanding 13-week program is based at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va. The current class, which began with 109 students, is the first to have included women. On average, about 25 percent of the men who enroll in IOC fail to complete it and voluntarily withdraw.

Grizza: I can't help it if scatalogically-minded civilians choose to take standard military lingo out of context. He's the perv, not me.

A perv? What a Nancy. Nice comeback!

I always forget that you don't have a sense of humor. The appropriate response would have been, "Touche. "
