| Marine Corps Gender Integration Program Ends Without A Female Grad |
| 2015-04-09 |
The opportunity for female volunteers is part of a larger effort to determine the feasibility of allowing female officers to take part in ground combat operations. If anyone had successfully completed the course, they would not have earned the occupational designator or entered the infantry, since the program was only an experiment. Army program of gender appeasement continues. |

| #8 #1 That's OK. I understand that before leaving office, Oby is going to promote Marie Harf to General and then make her Commandant. (Now tell me you think that's too ridiculous to ever happen.) Only the part about Obama voluntarily leaving office. |

| #6 Another way to put this: Marine Corps refuses to change standards to accomidate females in Gender Integration Program. I remember during the 90s (I think I remember but my memory is spotty) when the economy was booming and the military was having trouble filling the ranks so they lowered the requirements. Except the Marine Corps. And for some reason they had less trouble with numbers because the reputation they had developed over the years was beyond price. |

| #5 In other news, every single Gunnery Sergeant admitted into the Marine Wet Nurse program failed to complete the course. Said one: "No #$%^! The little !&^%$#& wouldn't suck hard enough. Just like the Colonel's wife, har har." |

| #4 My promotion to LTC was delayed almost 18 months back I'm 93. Now it's down to MAJ and planning might eventually go to platoon level? (Sarcasm I hope) |

| #2 ...well, given that the Trunks in Congress roll over so often, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility, but the position requires the approval of Congress. Senior military positions are confirmed just like Secretarial and Supreme Court positions. It also might just be the event to trigger the next Franco/Pinochet era which weren't good times for the Left. |
