Marine Corps Ordered to Make Boot Camp Coed, Remove 'Man' from Titles

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has given Marine Corps brass two weeks to submit a plan to train male and female recruits together at boot camp and fully integrate officer candidate school.

He's also calling for the Marines to make all job titles gender-neutral as the service opens currently closed ground combat jobs to women.

In a Jan. 1 memo obtained by Military.com and first reported by Marine Corps Times, Mabus ordered the Corps to send him a detailed plan by Jan. 15 for making boot camp and officer training coed. He also requested that the Marines provide him with a "subject matter expert" on the issue. The plan should identify where training is already integrated by gender, where it is separate, and how the Marines will work to fully integrate all training, Mabus said.

Marines have been ordered to induce wings to sprout from pigs. They must carry out their orders.

While it may make the military the most PC it has ever been, there is no proof that it’s any better at winning skirmishes, battles, campaigns and wars.

Pre-Obama

The Marines are looking for a few good men

Now it’s

The Marines are looking for a few good persons of no specific gender or preference and who may also not be certain how they wish to be categorized.

AFTER boot camp I went to Millington TN to Air Traffic Control School - there were GIRLS there from the Marine Corps and the Navy, that was the most fun 6 months I ever had in my life.

There is obviously no downside to electing lesser evils that side with Obama and refused to utter a peep as he did this. We won and thats all that matters. Get it through your heads. WE WON.

So this is good. Great in fact. Because we won.

Of course not. That would be age discrimination.

Further proof that the obama regime and his communist backers are deliberately destroying the US military from the inside-out.

For Obama: "corpse people"

Which is what they WILL be if they go into combat like that... dragging a 120 pound girl along.

Question.......

If an enemy in combat targets women or gays when firing, is that a hate crime, or just an act of war?

I hope women have more sense than our leaders and avoid signing up.

So if you’re hit and you forget and yell for a Corpsman, which do you get first, the treatment or the Article 15?

A new outrage every day.
