I'm used to it. When I served, women were not filling "combat" billets, although we had Nurse Corps Officers, mostly women, with boots on the ground at 1st Med Battalion, Danang. One of those officers, Cdr. Proto, was awarded a Bronze Star with Combat "V" for her service as an OR nurse under fire.

I'm personally opposed to women serving in combat billets but if they are going to be required to served thus, I think they should satisfy the same physical requirements as their male counterparts - no gender norming.

The successful accomplishment of the mission as well as the safety of their comrades requires no less.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
