For the first time in its history, the Marine Corps will integrate female and male platoons during boot camp.
Unlike the other services, the Marine Corps has not fully integrated women and men during recruit training. Instead, at Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina, the first three battalions are all-male, while the fourth battalion is all-female.
"On January 5, 2019, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, will start their training cycle with one female platoon and five male platoons," the Marine Corps said in a statement Friday, first reported by ABC News.

From Northwest Woodsman: Now even the vanguard of military services has knuckled under to the PC fools. The fact is that very very few, if any, females can perform to male physical standards required to be successful in combat. Combat arms are specifically trained to kill people and break things.and it is not an environment conducive to social experimentation. As a retired officer with 28 years of service, I have seen this experiment fail repeatedly but liberal bull crap won’t concede that fact. Assign a woman to be a vehicle driver in a combat support branch and it requires assignment of a male counterpart because she is unable to change a tire because of the amount of physical strength required. This same situation exists throughout all branches that require heavy lifting or carrying a combat load in a minimum 60 pound rucksack. What most advocates of this nonsense don’t know is that standards are always reduced for female applicants. Been that way since the 70s when they began integrating women into other than administrative duties. After I retired, I went through the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police training academy at age 50. The physical training standards for my age group were significantly higher than the requirements for a 21 year old female. Academic standards were not an issue, however, none of the females in my class were able to easily compete even with lower standards. In combat, reducing standards will result in unnecessary injury and deaths. I taught ROTC at a major university for 7years and I recall a female cadet stubbing her toe on a cactus on the first day of a field training exercise and she left and went home. Another never passed a physical training test during her participation in the program yet both were commissioned as second lieutenants at graduation. Amazing right?
Who cares?? The once elite military will become fairy land like the rest. REST IN PEACE MARINE CORPS. SEMPER FI!!
Sad sad day in this country!! I pray I'm no longer around when one of the many enemies thus country has comes knocking on the door again
Going to be some knocked up BAMS.
This will not have a desirable result. A female is a female and can never think like a male..
How cozy is that?
