Marines inch grudgingly toward integrating women and men at boot camp

Under a scorching sky at Marine Base Parris Island, two young recruits grapple awkwardly in hand-to-hand combat inside an Octagon training structure. Circling them, the drill instructor barks orders, "Hit her! Punch her! DO something!"

Outside the ring, a mix of male and female Marine hopefuls are helping each other put on protective headgear, preparing for their turn at combat. They are assigned to one of the mixed-gender recruit companies as the Marine Corps moves gradually — and at times reluctantly — to more integrated training at boot camp.

  1. Weak Politically Appointed Perfumed Princes, commonly referred to as Generals have allowed the woke non-military thumbsuckers to inject civilian social issues upon the Military Services.
    What more could the thumbsuckers do to deplete and demoralize what should be the Warrior class. Oh wait, they recruit Transgenders and Perverts, at the same time considering the reduction of Special Operations Personnel who are the most experienced, well trained Combat Teams.
    Using an appropriate Military terminology to describe the woke transition, "FUBAR" !

  2. Hey they want so-called equal rights so give them an equal recruit training experience... buzz their hair, remove all their personal shit, require them to carry the same loadout gear, make the same PT standards and hit the bitch like your drill instructor tell you to do...

    1. Very true! They should also have to register with the Selective Service, that will cause some anxiety and open their eyes a little. NOTE: I do not personally believe women should be in front line combat roles nor register, but if they are wanting to be treated equally, then we should give them the full white male privilege experience.

  3. I guess the old Q&A: "How do you seperate the men from the boys in the Marine Corp? With a crowbar" is gonna have to be updated.

  6. If a woman wants to be a marine then she has to expect to be treated the same as men just my thought

  7. Retired Marine here... this is a colossally moronic idea. Whoever floated it should be flogged. It is as if they are trying to make the Corps dysfunctional. I wonder who could be behind that???

  10. Good when we re-institute the draft because nobody with common sense will enlist we can draft women also. You either draft women or don't draft anyone as we are supposed to be equal under the law. The current draft registration became illegal when the government opened up combat occupations to women.

    1. I vote grenades in a cement mixer. Put 2 females together and usually they play nice, bring a 3rd in and backstabbing becomes the norm, a battalion of them wouldn't last 5 minutes before blowing up
