Marine Corps Ordered to Make Boot Camp Coed, Remove 'Man' from Titles

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has given Marine Corps brass two weeks to submit a plan to train male and female recruits together at boot camp and fully integrate officer candidate school.

He's also calling for the Marines to make all job titles gender-neutral as the service opens currently closed ground combat jobs to women.

In a Jan. 1 memo obtained by Military.com and first reported by Marine Corps Times, Mabus ordered the Corps to send him a detailed plan by Jan. 15 for making boot camp and officer training coed. He also requested that the Marines provide him with a "subject matter expert" on the issue. The plan should identify where training is already integrated by gender, where it is separate, and how the Marines will work to fully integrate all training, Mabus said.

Our military leadership obviously wants to jettison any remaining vestiges of masculinity. We now have an armed forces that culturally and officially tilts towards women and faggots.

I could puke. A pajama-boy military.

[Michael.SF.]

So I guess this training technique is out.

[DiogenesLamp]

Absolute insanity says this Paris Island alumni, class of 69 :)

Reality and Liberalism are often at odds with each other. Everyone in the military that didn't tell the Secretary of Defense to go F*** himself, needs to be purged. We don't need weak kneed little pansies in the chain of command. People fight and die under them for principles. The least they can do is help them by defending sanity based principles that help them fight.

[Guenevere]

Trump will reverse it immediately!

"Marine Corps Ordered to Make Boot Camp Coed, Remove 'Man' from Titles" I try very hard to steer clear of the R word, but GDit, this is as F'n retarded as it comes. Does this BS make the Marine Corps a more fierce and feared fighting force? The answer is a resounding NO! This is the most GD retarded BS I have ever witnessed. These F'n morons have no idea what it is they are messing with and yet they are pedal to the metal with their public display of insanity. It's one thing that they hate America so much that they would boldly tinker with the very institutions that afford them very opportunity to allow them to entertain such flights of lunacy, but for Christ sake, enough is enough.

It’s not going to work anyway , it’s just becoming a Big Joke

[DiogenesLamp]

The next Republican president is going to have to purge the military of all enlisted, officer, and civilian personnel that have had any hand in these disasters.

This is what I said. Fire everyone who rolled over for Obama, because they are not fit to be in our Military. Make it understood that trading principles for temporary security in your position will result in you losing your position anyways.

Ditto Class of 73,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[VerySadAmerican]

Every officer in the Corps who doesn’t resign should never be called a Marine.

How in the hell did this get this far? When did the Marines start recruiting pansy officers?

[forgotten man]

I demand that the Marines have people in wheel chairs serving as infantrypersons.

[DiogenesLamp]

To: The Obama Administration From: The Commandant of the Marine Corps

Nuts.

Obama truly is the closest thing this nation ever had to a Nazi.

[VerySadAmerican]

I assume Hospital Corpsman will now be Hospital Corpsmate.

[SamuraiScot]

There is obviously no downside to electing lesser evils that side with Obama and refused to utter a peep as he did this. . .

Just curious, speaking of downsides, and I don't know the answer concerning any individual on this board:

Did any of us refuse to support or vote for the lesser evil of Romney?

[Norm Lenhart]

I didn’t support or vote for him. I voted for a conservative and did not join the sheep intent on driving the GOP left. Which they did.

Had the 60,000,000 people that did vote for the man who profits from BBQing the dead and dismsmbered remains of babies his own laws aborted, not played games and backed a conservative, he would not have been there to lose to a jihadist.

Romney also has a disdain for the military so no one can claim he would have any better for the military than Obama. He shares Barry’s pro gay/SJW policies and would have enacted them.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Time for a military coup, or as obama would say “military coupe.”

[USMCPOP]

Women need jobs, too. The Army and Navy are a bit big, so females can stand out if they are Marines.

The Corps Has many benefits for a recruit. Retirement plan, permanent housing with free outside maintenance, etc. There is a minimum age requirement, but no restriction on years of service. Early retirement is possible.

[ex91B10]

Try it just for giggles, then sue for age dicrimination. Have fun with it!

[jmaroneps37]

I’m a 2111 Marine from 1965 and this makes me want to puke.

[exit82]

This was your boy.

God bless you, sir.

[DHerion]

will they all shower together like in Starship Troopers?
