Marines Testing Women In Combat Jobs

Gen. James F. Amos said early steps to begin moving women into artillery, tank air defense and combat engineer units have been successful, but the more difficult tests lie ahead.

“Change doesn’t come easy to the United States Marine Corps,” Gen. Amos told an audience at the National Press Club on Tuesday. “But when it does, when it’s rooted, it lasts forever. So I think we’ll work our way through it.”

LOL...no problem if they can pass the tests...but not tests modified for us girls. If you can't stand the heat, stay off the porch. Or, if if you can't carry your weight, you should not be there.
