In this Aug. 5, 2016 photo, Maj. Shanelle Porter, commanding officer at the Recruiting Station Chicago poses in her office in Des Plaines, Ill. The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for a few more good women. And this time the campaign’s a bit different. Marine recruiters are turning to girls high school sports teams to find candidates who may be able to meet the Corps’ rigorous physical standards _ including for front-line combat jobs now open to women.
Military ping if you think appropriate. Thanks.
“In particular, Neller believes female wrestlers are good candidates.”
Female wrestlers? I know they exist but I’ve never heard of a specific school with them in my life. Can’t be many of them.
Are they saying that the girls are too dumb to know that the Marines are out there and recruiting?
“We don’t drink...we don’t smoke....Norfolk! Norfolk!”
There is no place whatsoever for women of any description in combat units. Combat has not changed and never will: it's organized murder and females will only be a disability and a distraction.
The old measure for who was in the "Old Corps" has been changed to when the Marine Corps was a man's outfit.

Stopped reading this stupid bulls shit right there.
@BrotherTooTurnt: Sis gonna loot with us 😂😂😂
Female WRESTLERS??? UGHEROO!!!
Do they want girls or boys who think they are girls?
High school girls as Marines? If he cared about their lives, his energy would be better spent promoting Home Economics.
Pussy and LGBT Brigades spring up like wildflowers. We will feel so protected.
You mean the lesbian marines were recruiting (since they don’t reproduce) new possible lesbians. If I were the administrator of that high school, I wouldn’t let them on campus.
“But Sergeant, it’s so heavy,” said the white, female Army PFC to the black, male SFC, as he lugged a 40-pound UPS she should have been carrying down a flight of stairs as we broke down gear in the early morning hours after an exercise at Fort Campbell. My lasting memory of a enlisted supervisor doing a job the worker bee should have handled. This extends to all based, the field, and downrange deployments around the world. Females in units who can’t carry rucks, change tires, erect shelters, haul Jerry cans, etc. We should be reducing, not increasing, the number of women in the Armed Forces.
Marine Commandant Gen. Robert Neller says he wants to increase the number of women in the Corps to 1 in 10.
...
For what particular reason?
Maybe they can ask the Israelis how they do it.

She’s wearing a lot of fruit salad. Who knew sensitivity training and diversity seminars were so ribbon-rich?
Fast pitch softball.
Start with the girls fast pitch softball teams.
Got some real bruisers on those.
I think a problem here, is that the liberals are trying to treat the military the same way we look at civilian life.
In civilian life, it would be illegal discrimination, to ban women from certain jobs or tasks. It’s been illegal for decades to advertise jobs seeking either men or women for certain jobs.
So they apply this notion of “non-discrimination” to the military, and they decide that everything in the military should be open to females, and otherwise we are discriminatory.
It seems to me that the military is different, in that, they are charged with a unique and dangerous mission, of defending the rest of us.
So now, we will be compelled to see women in combat, not because there are so many qualified women seeking combat, but because of political correctness.
We will see more women on submarines due to this concept as well. In spite of some problems that may arise with men and women in close quarters in an submarine for extended periods of time, we have decided that none of that matters. Because if we do think about those things, we are being “discriminatory”.
Ditto, with women in any military capacity. I’m sure we will see a real life “GI Jane” in the Navy Seals.
To me, a major issue is, will they lower the standards to allow for females in these formerly banned categories.
It’s one thing to allow women, and hold them to the same standards as the men.
It’s quite another if they end up eroding the high standards we rightly set for our military men, in order to have some requisite number of females in the ranks.
