They look so pretty in their dress greens....NOT! When I went through basic in 82, men & women did not train together, but were in separate platoons/classrooms to avoid distraction. I have my doubts that there could be more than a handful of females nationwide that could meet the male standards of selection and the school itself....to lower the training standard is an insult to every male who earned the tab, as well as Army core values itself.
The Women’s Army Corps was discontinued in 1978 and they tried to train men and women together. Apparently there were too many females getting injured during basic training so they started separating them somewhere around 1982. I’m not sure when they went back to coed basic training. Probably during the Clintoon years.
