Marine Corps Ordered to Make Boot Camp Coed, Remove 'Man' from Titles

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has given Marine Corps brass two weeks to submit a plan to train male and female recruits together at boot camp and fully integrate officer candidate school.

He's also calling for the Marines to make all job titles gender-neutral as the service opens currently closed ground combat jobs to women.

In a Jan. 1 memo obtained by Military.com and first reported by Marine Corps Times, Mabus ordered the Corps to send him a detailed plan by Jan. 15 for making boot camp and officer training coed. He also requested that the Marines provide him with a "subject matter expert" on the issue. The plan should identify where training is already integrated by gender, where it is separate, and how the Marines will work to fully integrate all training, Mabus said.

That’s one way to raise the U.S. birth rate.

Interesting. Make all job titles gender-neutral. But, performance standards will have to be adjusted on a gender basis.

That seems rather duplicitous.

In 1997, the Defense Department assembled a bipartisan panel to examine the implications of gender-integrated enlisted training. At the time, the panel concluded that the coed approach used in Army, Navy and Air Force recruit training resulted in "less discipline, less unit cohesion, and more distraction from the training programs."

And Obama's very occupation of the White House has changed that?

I once heard North Korea described as the world's largest outdoor insane asylum.

I am proud to have Been an Infantryman. I will never let the word Infantryperson or some other Bastardization of it pass my lips. Thank God I served back in the sixties and seventies when we still had military leaders with backbone. Every swinging Dick from General on down to Platoon Sgt. should resign and force these elitist punks to back down!.

There was a reality show on a while back that followed a bunch of women USMC recruits through Boot Camp. It was pitiful to watch, and I cannot imagine how weak women like these can be integrated into the men’s training and then expect to survive real world combat.

The Marine brass should respond with their resignations, en masse. It ought to be an article of faith that the Marines know what they’re doing and should left alone to keep doing it.

Nah, just tell them you “identify” as an 18 year old, like that transgender freak who identifies as a six year old girl.

Well, if they're not discriminating based on sex...wouldn't it be wrong to discriminate for age?

The next Republican president is going to have to purge the military of all enlisted, officer, and civilian personnel that have had any hand in these disasters.

Purge the deviants, fire the enablers, kick out the Muslim apologists and Muslims, order the revision of all documents, doctrines, and real activities that have been tainted by this as well.

A serious scrub down with lye soap and wire brushes.
