New Marine Commandant: There Will 'Definitely' Be More Coed Companies at Boot Camp
The Marine Corps will continue looking at ways for men and women to train together at both of its recruit depots, the service's new top general said, even though one of the bases is currently closed to women.
Men and women will "definitely" train in the same companies at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina, Commandant Gen. David Berger said this week. About 50 women recently graduated from a typically all-male training battalion there in March.
But hurdles remain when it comes to integrating training at the Marine Corps' all-male recruit depot in San Diego despite a congresswoman's call to make the base coed by 2028.

In 2016 i watched a boat of Americans surrender to Iran. Why? They were afraid of what would happen to their female crew member. It would be a guilt they couldn’t live with.

The next time a dem says women need more tax dollars.. We should remind them that gender is fluid. No special tax breaks.
Excellent post on women in the military by Retain Mike. Lots of links.

A post I made on the subject, relaying some anecdotes from my nephew-in-law, who was an M240 gunner in Afghanistan. He thinks women in combat arms completely absurd.

The problem is that you have a piece of swill like Jackie from San Francisco in the legislature foisting this stuff on the Marine Corps.
Coed companies: otherwise known as the un-deployable companies.
Combat ineffective companies. Waste of taxpayer money.
I wish Chesty Puller would come back from the grave and kick the new commandant’s ass!
Thanks. I began writing down the links and books several years ago when I couldn’t remember where I got facts I used for a letter. Then I found out other people appreciated the information.
