The Marine Corps is eliminating the job title “basic infantryman” along with 18 others and replacing them with terms that are gender neutral.
Others titles, including “rifleman” and “mortarman,” will remain the same, due to their historical and cultural significance for Marines.
The service plans to replace 19 of its military occupational specialty titles, the Marine Corps Times reported Tuesday, seven months after Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered the Marine Corps to conduct a review of all job titles to ensure gender neutrality.
For most of the 19 terms that will be changed, the word “Marine” will replace the word “man.” Basic infantryman, for instance, will become Basic infantry Marine, and “reconnaissance man” will become “reconnaissance marine,” according to a list of the 33 titles reviewed that was obtained by the Marine Corps Times.

Don’t care if I get banned. This us bullshit. Two of my titles were in there. And now stripped away by an ex-navy officer with a Harvard Law degree and an obsession for worshiping freaks, homos and trannys.
Disgusting.
The photo shows you all you need to know.
Women fighting other women.
Mabus is a real tool.
Stick a fork in America, she’s done.
Yeah, Every Marine a Rifleperson just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
That chick in the picture ...
I'm sure she thinks she's a badass. And she could probably beat me up (if I didn't shoot her first), but that's not saying much. I'm old enough to be her grandfather.
A better comparison would be to an equally trained male Marine ...
Which will do a better job of defending these United States?
Losing a war isn't as important as having diversity.
Why not just call them Infantry Target? Because that’s what they are with women in combat.
“Marine Corps to Ban ‘Infantryman’”
Yeah, there is a move that will most certainly make the United States Marine Corps a more feared and fierce fighting force...
I really want America back!
Our national priorities are completely upside down. While our military challenges are increasing exponentially, our so-called military leaders and their bureaucrat bosses are focusing on insignificant terminology. The Russians and Chinese must be amused at our naïve stupidity and timidity.
Wait until they’re under heavy fire then see if the call is for “infantrypersons” utter BS
They would be but I’m sure they already knew about it.
In the Army, one is a 'Bandsperson'. They also got rid of MOSs for individual instruments. They're now all 42 Romeo, no matter what they play.
Well, as long as Marines replace 'man' with 'Marine', and not 'person', I guess I'll be okay with it.
I accuse myself of doubleplusungood crimethink ...
“Don’t care if I get ban
You’re the last person that should get banned...If your eyes are telling ppl how it really is. Keep giving the straight dope regardless bro.
And it was destroyed by the enemy from within. A feat that even our external enemies could not achieve.
