Geee Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Daily Caller: An 18 month trial period allowing female Marines to attend the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course will end without a single female graduate, reported the Marine Corps Times. 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. The IOC began accepting female officers in September 2012, but by July 2014, only 20 female officers had volunteered, and none had completed the course. Only one volunteer made it through the initial Combat Endurance Test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 As I understand it (as always I reserve my right to be wrong), there is a difference between Marine Basic and OCS. In Basic they do everything they can to get you through and become a Marine. In OCS they do everything they can to cause you to fail.BTWAIR FORCE!We're the smart ones, send the officers out to fight.
