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.

“In this age, I don’t care how tactically or operationally brilliant you are, if you cannot create harmony - even vicious harmony - on the battlefield based on trust across service lines, across coalition and national lines, and across civilian/military lines, you need to go home, because your leadership is obsolete. We have got to have officers who can create harmony across all those lines.”

Did he really say that?! Is that a joke?! I don’t know if I should puke, or scream.

Do they realize the enemy doesn’t give a —— about ‘harmony’? The viscous animals would salivate at the thought of facing women on the front lines.

The Buddhist 8 point wheel. The eight-fold path. 1. Right Understanding (Samma ditthi) 2. Right Thought (Samma sankappa) 3. Right Speech (Samma vaca) 4. Right Action (Samma kammanta) 5. Right Livelihood (Samma ajiva) 6. Right Effort (Samma vayama) 7. Right Mindfulness (Samma sati) 8. Right Concentration (Samma samadhi) Pretty simple and not an in-your-face type of thing. Just good advice.

"The Marine brass should respond with their resignations"

My thinking too, where is Congress? Hello Paul Ryan.

“We are not serious about life and death.”

The attitude I’m going to have to adopt is that it’s not going to be me, or probably anyone I know or care about that’s going to get killed because of this.

If it comes down to brass tacks, I can take care of myself or at least not go cheaply.

Kinda like keep your act together. Individual responsibility. Somewhat lost on the modern world.

We do a great job of using wickedly more expensive and higher carbon footprint bio-fuels though. So we got that going for us... which is nice. /s
