This happened to me in DS. Our OIC and SNCOIC came up to visit us south of Khafji. She went to the pisser before she left and the next Marine to hit the can found one laying on top of the crap.

See??? So it's not just a hypothetical situation anymore.This happened to me in DS. Our OIC and SNCOIC came up to visit us south of Khafji. She went to the pisser before she left and the next Marine to hit the can found one laying on top of the crap.
And on a semi-related note; http://www.military.com/daily-news/...vent.html?comp=1198882887570&rank=9#community
I actually imagine they might stop having periods from the lack of sleep and food. Not sure how that works. If not, adding 'on your period' to the list of suck could make for some bitchy chicks.
It's actually somewhat a common statement in Battalion.
Brian and Anger, does that somewhat diminish the stature or legend of Ranger School?
I remember when GROMs former CO wrote a memuar about his stint in Ranger School. Many military commanderes were shocked, media had something to write about, and military geeks (like me) were like "oh man this must suck, if I pass this I'll be a though, cool guy".
Now, many years later, you read this. Makes one really think about how they percieve stories like that.

Stolen from another site but appropriate here. General Robert H. Barrow, 27th Commandant of the Marine Corps testimony before the SASC on Women in Combat. June 1991.
"If you want to make a unit combat ineffective, assign women to it."

Wow; Outstanding Lindy! Gen. Barrow was the Commandant when I served. Semper Fi! Oooorah, a true warrior and a great American! A real leader with real words with depth and sense. How refreshing to watch history before we all became PC bedwetters and rolled over.

Not to derail but to add credibility to Gen Barrow's words:

What a refreshing and amazing speech. Wow, honesty from a by-gone era of truth. No holding punches, no candy coating just right in the mouth.

Definitely no longer accepted in military circles and DEFINITELY not within the USG.
Sadly the truth is no longer acceptable or survival-able.
Interesting article from a USMC female officer. Well researched, well written, but I do disagree with her sentiment towards integration being ok for the Army Infantry as opposed to the USMC infantry.

The instructors should be ranger school graduates correct me if I'm wrong, where are they going to get qualified Female instructors for the first class, and once then the Females who graduate won't want to come back and be an instructor right ?
First, let me preface this by saying that I am not a Ranger. Second, I am not a mod and if I am out of line, forgive me. With that being said. I see your 14 / freshman in highschool and while I applaud your desire to serve let me start by telling you that, and we tell all the young-in's this: Live your kid life. Do good in school and then think about the service. Chiming in on things you don't know about just makes you look, um, a know it all with no life experience. You can listen to me or not, I don't care. I try to keep to myself but it has not been a good night and I felt I needed to say this. Take it as you may. Mods. If I acted out, sorry.

Well, it was suppose to happen, what class 2-13 or 3-13 according to RUMINT? That's still a little ways off if it's going to happen.
It was well-researched until she started remarking about Army doctrine. If I had a nickel every time a Marine smugly talked about Army doctrine...
