Field artillery, tanks and infantry are the 3 combat arms MOS's of the Marine Corps.

All Marine officers attend the U.S. Army field artillery course at Ft. Sill, OK. after TBS.

Ummm? No mention of how gay and transgender Marine officers did in the program. </sarc>

The only question that needs to be answered is CAN THEY DO THE JOB?

Great. Our military has turned into a social experiment and we are facing armies of insane Jihaddis.

If women were suitable for combat roles, in the past 5,000 or so years of what we euphemistically term “civilization” they would have been employed as such.

And PLEASE, no crazy comments about some obscure tribe somewhere.

I was an Army Field Artillery fire direction center NCOIC in the late '70's.

Absolutely no way women could handle doing our job, not to mention humping 155mm or 8" rounds down on the big guns.

More leftist insanity. I seriously doubt those women could hump big arty shells if the gun crew is killed off leaving her to do or die. I assume the male arty officers used to be required to do so, if necessary.

>>>One of the female officers who passed the course was 2nd Lt. Virginia Brodie. She graduated number one of the 137 students in both the gunnery portion of the course and in overall score and was recognized as her class’ distinguished honor graduate<<<

Good for her. Sounds like she worked hard and succeeded.

Our Late Nephew was Marine Artillery. He did two Tours in Afghanistan.
