Attention All Marines...From Now On......

[Centermass]

You will refer to yourself and others as "RIFLEPERSON"

The DoD is continuing to lose its collective mind.

A big change is coming to the Marine Corps

 

[Grunt]

I'm glad I can consider myself a "Legacy Marine."

 

[Diamondback 2/2]

Ahhh, damn.

 

[Grunt]

Chesty is crying as we speak!

 

[Marine0311]

Fucking bullshit

The SECNAV said that words like infantryman, rifleman and midshipman will remain the same. Job titles like artillary man and reconnaissance man will have to change. Reconnaissance man will most likely change to Reconnaissance Scout. The SECNAV also wants bootcamp de-segregated by April 1st which is an unrealistic turn around for such a large undertaking. Female DIs need to PCS to the west coast, female barracks will have to be built etc. This things need to be phased in over time. Does anyone else think this has to do with the ticking clock on this administration?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Dear world, I quit. :wall:

 

[GhillieDude08]

Sucks I'm joining just in time with all this integration and don't want to hurt any body's feelings shit happening.

 

[Gunz]

Jesus fucking Christ.

I got one for ya, Ray................0331 Machine Gunnerette. :wall::wall::wall::wall:

Does that mean mixed Companies in Boot Camp?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

"Okay recruits! I want each of you to do 20 perfect pull-ups! I will demonstrate half of a pull-up by pulling myself up one time and hanging there for 20 second! REEE-DEEE! Arm Hang!"

Yes Sir, absolutely. Cramming this shit down the Corps' throat before they unass the AO.

De-segregated boot camps. Hmm. I remember everyday, multiple times a day, jammed around a toilet with at least 5 of my closest friends all peeing because we had 10 seconds (in the fastest manner that the DI could count) to pee and be back outside.
Would hate to be the female in that crowd.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Would hate to be the female in that crowd.

all squad bays will have rifle racks removed and instead be fitted with additional stalls.

To prevent an unfair advantage, all recruits, regardless of claimed gender, will be required to urinate from the sitting or squatting position only.

 

[AWP]

I'd laugh, but the Army will one-up the shit out of this. Give it time.

As an aside, I've used the term "Airperson" for a few years now. I'm way ahead of my time.

Our heads (without doors or dividers) in Basic were so close together that when you reached for the toilet paper, you'd hit the man next to you with your elbow.

Guess that will be an elbow in the boob now which, of course, is sexual assault.


Heaven help the female Infantry(man?) who whines to her SL about needing a separate slit trench way the hell out in the south forty.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

slit trench

You may no longer use that term.

 

[x SF med]

You may no longer use that term.

Well played....:wall::blkeye:

 

[Hillclimb]

Every Marine is a rifle. Boom.

No gender segregation/association, and on the theme of retarded: so it should appease the liberals who would never serve in the military, but have so many great ideas for it.

The platoon upstairs from mine at the First Recruit Training Battalion was mixed male and female in 1996.

Half of that platoon joined my platoon for Infantry Employment Training 3 months later. They were as well prepared for that course as we were.

Mixed Infantry platoons, that's going to be an issue. Mixed recruit platoons? Total non event.
