Marine women challenge combat limits ahead of Pentagon decision!
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/jul/25/marine-women-staff-ground-combat-units/
Are the Marines leading the way in allowing Women into Combat by opening nearly 6,000 supporting positions in ground combat units?
RP Members (all service branches) have we done enough in the other branches to move women forward into combat type positions?

When I was stationed at cherry point NC, there were only a few of us in our unit. So needless to say I was volunteered for everything. I was the first SERE school WM. I captured two of the marines that were training and they laughed at me. Which was the wrong thing to do. They paid for it once we got them in their boxes that night. Lol.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Marine FET were awesome in Afghanistan. All the services can do more to integrate women into combat roles. Signal and Logistics have had females for a long time and I don't view any difference when working with male/female in duty role.
We need to establish common physical standards for the job role and hold all personnel male/female to the same standards and get past the force integrated.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
LTC John Shaw Totally agree - the other services need to move forward with the same pace as the Marines or they will get left behind - recruiting????

Hooah!!! or Ooorah! COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Yes they are... the Army has yet to have women go thru Infantry, Armor, or FA OST or BOLC... that is where the tests should be, not Ranger School.
