If the OCS instructor holds her to a higher standard than specified by regulations in order to help her achieve her goal, the OCS instructor will be subject to severe discipline. A single complaint of discrimination, upheld by the investigative process (which is required to see exceeding the regulations as a violation) will end the career of the instructor.
I agree the lack of a second chance, when seen in light of the male regs, is wrong. But to blame OCS, which enforces standards enshrined in the regulations, is poppycock. Further, to make a public outcry when the proper channels are inside the chain of command is disgraceful.
To be rewarded for doing so is further disgrace on the Corps.
Perfect example of thinking inside the box. The term instructor was a generalization as opposed to the student. The instructor is the corp staff, not just the OCS instructor. Nothing prevents the corp from establishing a physical training path for woman with the stated intent of elevating physical performance for those desiring such career paths. The creator of this physical training path could be fully conversant with the requirements of all corp tests and establish appropriate goals.
Chain of command is a vital element of any structured organization and not to be taken lightly. However, it does have its weaknesses especially with respect to discrimination issues. If you wish to argue otherwise, please start with explaining Tail-Hook away.
Neither you nor I know what steps she took within the chain of command. We do not know if she experienced negative consequences for breaching chain of command. We do know that a General evaluated her actions and acted upon them. I will take his assessment and response to the situation over yours at this point.
