PENTAGON — One woman will make history next week as the first female Marine to join the infantry through the traditional entry-level training process that was previously unavailable to women, officials tell VOA.
The Marine is finishing up her training as a mortarman and will graduate next week from the U.S. Marine Corps School of Infantry at Camp Geiger in eastern North Carolina, said Marine Capt. Joshua Pena, a spokesman for the Marine Corps Training and Education Command.
Officials say the newest woman in the infantry will go to 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment in Camp Pendleton, near San Diego, California.
The Marines now have a total of four women in the infantry. Three female Marines joined 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in January after making a lateral move request to join the infantry.
Those three were among 144 female Marines who graduated from the Marine Corps' School of Infantry in 2013-2015, when it was temporarily opened up to women in order to study how gender integration would affect combat readiness. Each of the three women has entered the infantry under the specialty she successfully trained for while attending the school.
The results of the Marine Corps' gender integration study showed that male-only Marine units were faster and more lethal. When it came to critical thinking, however, the joint male-female units outperformed the male-only groups.
Female Marines were given the opportunity to join an infantry unit after former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter ordered that all military positions, including all combat positions, be opened to women beginning in 2016.
The Marine Corps had requested an exemption for infantry and armor positions, but Carter overruled the request, saying the military should operate under a common set of standards.

Having women in the infantry is like eating your seed corn.
A bad idea.
I know they have pushing this envelope for a long time and that women have been at the front in support position and have been wounded and killed, it is still a bad idea to put them in infantry units.
Unintended consequences for women is when the next time we need a draft to fight a major war, women will be drafted.
Present but hidden is the Chastity Belt Type C14
I can tell you that is not unintended at all.
This makes me madder than hell.
Get rid of female cops as well.
Obama and Ash Carter opted to do this despite lots of real-world statistical date showing it doesn’t work.
Both the Israelis and the USSR tried women in combat units.
Both quickly realized that doesn’t work and retreated. I am sure information as to why could be located.
Who carries the mortar shells?
which one takes first watch at night?
Just how many people will die because of this PC lunacy by the co=lunatics no9bama and sec-def carter? What a crock!

Entry level sergeants? sure.
Well, it is essential since they are trying to emasculate little boys and kill the nurturing instinct in women and the protective instinct in males, for the NWO of total orgies with everyone, even little children. Individualism and sexual identity has to be made meaningless and age distinctions is next. To flip 2000 years of Ethics back to the psychopathic sodomites ethics of Ba’al Rites—that of slaves, misogyny, and pederasty, they have to destroy Logic and Reason in children.
Concept of mother and father has to be DESTROYED and has to be erased in the minds of children (erasing all of Western Civ (Christianity) so they can literally make women into men and men into women and all distinction will be erased (for radical egalitarianism).
They have to destroy all Natural instincts to make us into their slaves. Vice and irrationality (which this promotes) has to be embedded in little children for Slavery is Freedom and Sodomy is a Virtue and Boys are Girls.
Sweden now has twice as many children now who identity as male when they are female and vice-versa. (PS. All behaviors are learned and habituated, exp. ones which defy Nature (God) and Truth.)
Age of Reason was ONLY possible with a Christian worldview and THAT is why that worldview is being destroyed. Have to have dumb, ignorant people who can’t even tell if they are male and female to destroy individualism, free will, Natural Law, and collapse society. Vice creates slaves only.
I’d hit that! /s...That’s the problem (bedsides the obvious gross difficulties and differences in the field and combat between men and women) because men and women just do “it”. I was infantry and we never hesitated to check out the decent lookers in the support battalions (some were gorgeous)That being said, it is a distraction. I will say women at times can be bigger “horn-dogs” as men. I know very well. A very big problem I was aware of in Iraq and Somalia were the rate of pregnancies (in and out of theater) and sexual assaults (includes homosexuals). These will always be covered up. There is no need for females to be in infantry when there is a never ending population of men who fill this role. Yes, we all pick the rifle up to fight if need be but the infantry should never be a social experiment or equality lab.
If and when a Draft is implemented, will it include all types of Human Genders(?)?
Flame suit on ready, but have you checked out the females in the Israeli Defense Forces?
How long does it take a man to make SGT?
