Women can do anything a man can do. Not everybody can be a marine but the people who can earned the title the same exact way. No matter your race, sex or age.
For those of you who havent been there, there are reasons that r legit for women not being in combat. Its whether or not they can do it... Think about this: a male leader having to dish out orders would one way or another have a bias towards women, it would be very hard to send a women to a damgerous thing and possibly lose her wen tgeres lots of men aroumd to waste, its hard to explain but the psycholgy of it is mostly subconcious, n visa versa
only some women are like that. I carry my own heavy shit, and my guy friends and husband usually have me carry theirs. Some women are lazy just as some men are (like my hubs and friends lol)
Also alot of women are raised to be 'feminine' which usually means, don't grow muscle and let guys do all the hard work for you. which is BS.
i think if there is only 1 difference in the female boot camp, women should be allowed in the Infantry. if there is some women who are equally physical as men, they should be allowed in the Infantry.
why the hell do you americans segregate the sexes in training. no wonder your rape cases are out of the sky because you do not teach them to work together
@cheerchicklauren listen i went through 5 days of navy boot camp at age 12 it was hell the marines isnt as bad but im just saying be careful what you wish for...its not playing with a rope the whole time its risking your life i dont think people understand just how life threatining it is...
my sis, use to do 18 pull ups & arm hangs she use to do the pull ups for kicks to show her unit she can do it. 2 NAM awards & made E5 on her 3 year mark. she got around 280-290 out of 300 each PFT. running was her strong point she was a marathon runner. and she still got a higher PFT then the males. NOW thats what a Hard working Marine. There are no woman in the Marines there are Marines who happen to be woman. weakness tho was sit-ups other wise she would have got 300.
@cheeriomartinez no no, I was talking about the warrior's breakfast after you finish the crucible, not all through boot camp. That would never happen! lol
Some Women can, and if Women work out, we are alot stronger than people think. The fact that women don't build biceps as much is what makes us appear weaker. I can carry ALOT more than people think. If a woman can meet the physical requirements of combat they should be allowed in it, no special treatment or lower standards.
why? I mean we should have the chance to. If someone doesn't want to, they can pick a different MOS. but women that can make it in Tank units and other combat related MOS's should have the chance.
@DivineRosario Finally someone agrees :D. Men and Women are both better at different things. In this case, Men are better suited for the combat part of the military. Women are cut out for fighting. Hence their much lower strength. No offense.
@bluegama500 none taken. it's completely natural for women to be less stronger than men. UNless of course they are body builders or something of the sort.. but still. Men are more suited for fighting, women can be on guard or be nurses, and the strong ones can go in to combat.
But if a woman CAN fit the physical needs for combat jobs, they should be let in them. They should not be lowered for women however as that can get them killed. I am a woman with really broad shoulders and big bones. I think I would have a shot if I had the chance. But of course I would not complain if I didn't
Yup! The standards are there for a reason. A very good reason. I don't want handouts when I join. If I wanted handouts I would stay a civilian. (well, I will be part Civi even after I join because it will be reserves for me for a while.)
@Marynicole830 thank you for protecting my freedoms and my country. but don't think civilians get handouts just because they would rather apply for student loans, scholarships or what ever those are not handouts THATS CRAZY FUKEN DEBT.
So crazy civillian ok even monetarily retarded would do. Its not a hand out.
@bluegama500 Im just trollin, you know I am a women I was just messing with you. It just upsets me when men think women are only good for sex, cooking and cleaning, because I suck at cooking and I cant clean to save my life. I know women are not bulit to fight but if we try hard we can, like cool guys with long hair and viginas.
@bluegama500 Yeah it really does not offend me cuz sandwiches are fuggin good, a guy at subway made me a sandwich one time it was akward. I make sexist jokes about women all the time. We is who we is.
@DivineRosario yeah I want to joing too but I need to get stronger, I think women like us were ment to be men, lol. Or mabey cuz I am lesbian I dont know.
I am a former soldier in the U.S. Army (2002-2005, 13B), I would normally disagree with this recruiter but he is correct in that the Army has softened there BCT. In 2006 the Army decided to make BCT less stressfull in order to keep more recruits. Huge mistake, and when I first saw the news report in 2006 I was extremely angry. Soilders need discipline and the ability to fight in very stressful situations.
For a second at the start it almost sounded like he said "boob camp" I laughed but I replayed and it is "boot camp". Yes, I know, males just hear what they want to hear :)
In my country women fight in the front lines during combat, go though the exact same training as men, they train with the men as well. I don't understand why in the USA they cannot do the same with men and women.
@Esther723 that whole i highly doubt you can pull a 200lbs man out of a burning vehicle thing is bs....for one thing there is a female in the Army who did just that and was awarded a silver star for doing so....just because you cant do it doesnt mean none of us can....just last week i was watching the military ch and a 160lbs female carried a 200+ male down the side of a cliff in Combat Engineer training while they were both wearing full gear....so there you go..Ooorah Semper FI! I ship 6-21-10
I think the pullup thing is a bit weird... I mean I can do pullups, but thats me going down 90 degrees... (My arm making the 90 degree angle). I admit I can't do a "full pullup," going down straight, and with your hands facing away (I normally do it with my hands facing towards me). But I'm sure the 70 sec. thingy will build strength all the same.
it matter what anyone says just for the fact that it was women that gave birth and raised the men that are in the Marines today so if the women wanna come get some to they they should be allowed to -Semper Fi-
why do women have a different and easier training?aren t they supposed to do the same job once in combat?joke.isn t it!?and don t give me that non equal physical force bullshit.please...you want equality?!there you have it,go and train with the guys!
@diztanguy Women have the same training, it's just that they are seperated from men. There's a certain reason. Women also don't join the infantry. ( The combat stuff like going in the streets)
Different? They just said it's exactly the same except for the method of pull ups which is only 70seconds of training. I am female, and can do the "normal" pull ups too. But some female bodies do not develope as much arm muscle and females carry extra weight in their chest too, so I suppose that's why the pull ups are different.
Warriors breakfast is when Marine recruits get to eat all they want buffet thing after their crucible. The crucible is when the Marine recruits are testing their skills they have learned through out bootcamp. I believe its like a 54 hour thing I'm not sure. But the Marine recruits, are limited on food, and sleep. The Warriors breakfast is simply a delcious buffet lol, then Marine recruits will be graduating. :) hope that answered your question.
basically you are pretty much deprived of eating good things for the whole time you are in training. you also have eat in a certain position with certain utensils. At the warriors breakfast you can eat regularly and go back up to get food, whereas before you eat what they gave you in the time they gave you. Also while youre training you cant eat with your back touching the back of the chair. That is a privilege you earn when becoming a marine. I myself did not experience this. i did research.
I remember the chow at Parris Island being pretty good - and with all the milk you could drink. I don't recall the seats in the chow hall having backs on them. Of course they could have remodeled - or my memory is fading.
Men and women do fight side by side as there is no true front lines. plus the Lioness program and others like it are sending women with Infantry, Scout, and tank troops.
What a stupid argument! any woman that wants in on combat - do it!! Just be careful for what you wish for as killing or the threat of getting killed every second of the day isn't as fun as the movies make it look.The Russians had female kill squads all through the second world war. I wonder how many female recruits there would be if they had to fill body bags for a month prior to marching off into the sunset.The recruiters job is to sell- it's your life and theres no coming back if your dead.
You couldn't handle boot camp. How are you gonna handle infantry? This is a non-issue for you since you never graduated. Not all women are as weak as you.
I take it you were a non-hacker that never graduated from boot camp. Well to all those who never made it, I say, "boo-hoo." Those of us who graduated are proud that we made it, and didn't fake "suicide." It's a real shame Bumblebee. What should have been the defining moment in your life, you quit on.
No he isn't. I got out in 2002. Boot camp is exactly the same for us as the men. There is the physical differences in the pft but thats it. The women DI are just as ruthless as the men, they are even worse but they don't cuss at the women. That's the only other difference. They yell and get in your face and can be psychological demons but no cussing, it was awesome!
Depends on you're mos and whter you go active duty or reservist..most active contracts are 4 yr with some 5 yr ones. My contract is a five year. 2 year ones are usually reservists.
8:20pm Good evening, Bumblebee. I am that super duper female. I love the Marine Corps. In fact, after I finish acquiring my criminal justice degree, I'll enlist in the Navy for 4 years & join the Corps afterwards. I am deeply motivated. I fold my sleeves like a Marine Corps recruit & I give a proper greeting of the day.
Back to the subject at hand ... A man can carry another man out of harm's way. A female cannot carry a man. Then there is the battle factor, where men will naturally seek to defend female Marines, and do stupid stuff to save them. This would cause more casualties on the battlefield. It is the nature of the man to rescue the weaker sex. When you can pee standing up, will talk further.
Marines are trained killers and, unfortunately, they are not defending the United States. Our borders are open, our dollar is crashing, we face a deficit that can never be paid and offshore bankers are looting everything that is left. When Marines start questioning the criminal Federal Reserve Bank and wars started based on lies and half truths, I will call you patriots worthy of the Founding Fathers. But I don't see that leadership from the few and the proud.
I'd like to correct you on your one pointt. A Female CAN carry a male marine. If they couldn't they would not require females, as well as males, to participate in the CFT. A CFT in which I've carried males dozens of times some 20 lbs heavier than me as have other females in my unit , it is a matter of Training someone how to do it properly. If you know How to carry someone right, then it does not matter how small or big you are or gender all that matters is how in shape you are.
Keystone - of course you are the weaker sex. If not, they why aren't women competing with men on every level? Toss out all "women's" sports: basketball, soccer, track, hockey, volleyball (but keep beach volleyball - hubba-hubba) golf, and so forth. Eliminate the sex barriers and stand on your own. You can't, and that's why you are weaker. Sorry.
Wait a second.... "Eliminate the sex barriers and stand on your own"?
We as men don't do that. Ever. Sex will always be a factor in what makes us different, but it's no ground to be hateful and say "we're stronger cause we play football!".
Someone said it earlier, but it's all about training, not strictly genetics. Don't let sports be your only differential argument.
I'm a woman. I play rugby, not a "women's sport" exactly now is it? In my country, women fight in the front lines with the men, go though the exact same training in military too. I believe many women are weaker because they feel comfutable in that weak place because soicety lets them believe its okay for them to be weak, while men have something to live up to, to be strong from the moment they are born. If we changed that, women would not be weaker.
You deleted your comment, but I still received it. I was going to retort that women cannot do the dirty business of killing because by nature, they nurture. But that's not true anymore is it? Since 1973, American women have killed over 50 million of their own children, they have blown away the number killed by men from all wars. With this in mind, I take back my charge that women should not be in infantry. Women are much more effective killers. Thank you for making me see the light Keystone.
Wow.. you just bring in the most irrelevant data to try to defend yourself. By the 1973 comment I'm assuming you meant Roe vs Wade (which I personally do not support) and holds no bearing in this discussion. If you would have listened to my 1st post you would have realized I did agree w/ you that women don't belong on the front lines, at least not yet. However, I did not like your comment on us being the weaker sex. It is this type of thinking that stops minorities&women from making progress
Fair enough Keystone. I was just just explaining that I have come full circle, and now believe that women should be allowed to fight on the front lines. I mean any woman that can off her own child would do very well on the front lines. Back to the subject at hand: How does my belief that women are the weaker sex, keep you from progressing? What is it you seek to progress to? I made no mention of "minorities" - how are they now involved?
Mttudotcom, I would be happy to answer that for you, but I currently have some more pressing matters to attend to. So I will get back to you in about 4 days.
Amen! We're SOOOO different, but that's what makes us work well together. Women aren't weak because they're different than men. I know so many women i'd consider as strong mentally (if not physically) as any man, be it a pro athlete or a male Marine. However, I absolutely agree that women are weaker physically. Doesn't mean we can't do a lot of the things men do--a lot of that stuff if just stick-to-itiveness, not just physical strength. But we're stronger when we accept our differences.
I am sick of seeing our best people signing up to fight for a government that is controlled by private weapons companies and banks completely. God we are doomed.
14 trillion dollars have been stolen by private bankers this year with the Democrats and Republicans catering to their every whim. Wars are tools of profit to the bankers that lend money to indebt governments and to the private corporations that produce the machines of war. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARINES YOU ARE NOT DEFENDING THE UNITED STATES--YOU ARE WORKING FOR OFFSHORE BANKERS WHO WANT ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
women cannot serve in the front lines and other certain jobs such as subs because of the personal hygiene issues could be hazardous because of the length of time that may be required in between showers and stuff a woman may be susceptible to infections and other medical conditions that may come with the lack of clean conditions i believe i can maybe find the source to that if you wish
I wonder thsi too..doesnt seem right, but probably because women are worse tragets for enemy forces... you mean...God knows what could happen if they become POW's ...just "use your imagination"...get it? Doesnt seem right...but that's probably the purpose
70 secs i did that at my xcountry meet last year, the marines and army where sponsering it, i cant wait to join when i am older, im thinking off doing it after college
Women can do anything a man can do. Not everybody can be a marine but the people who can earned the title the same exact way. No matter your race, sex or age.

@diztanguy Women have the same training, it's just that they are seperated from men. There's a certain reason. Women also don't join the infantry. ( The combat stuff like going in the streets)

Different? They just said it's exactly the same except for the method of pull ups which is only 70seconds of training. I am female, and can do the "normal" pull ups too. But some female bodies do not develope as much arm muscle and females carry extra weight in their chest too, so I suppose that's why the pull ups are different.

Warriors breakfast is when Marine recruits get to eat all they want buffet thing after their crucible. The crucible is when the Marine recruits are testing their skills they have learned through out bootcamp. I believe its like a 54 hour thing I'm not sure. But the Marine recruits, are limited on food, and sleep. The Warriors breakfast is simply a delcious buffet lol, then Marine recruits will be graduating. :) hope that answered your question.

what is a warriors breakfast? describe it to me please
imanoob4 2 years ago
basically you are pretty much deprived of eating good things for the whole time you are in training. you also have eat in a certain position with certain utensils. At the warriors breakfast you can eat regularly and go back up to get food, whereas before you eat what they gave you in the time they gave you. Also while youre training you cant eat with your back touching the back of the chair. That is a privilege you earn when becoming a marine. I myself did not experience this. i did research.

I remember the chow at Parris Island being pretty good - and with all the milk you could drink. I don't recall the seats in the chow hall having backs on them. Of course they could have remodeled - or my memory is fading.

So do men and women train together? It sounds like they don't, which seems silly as men and women will fight side-by-side won't they?
nemacyst1 2 years ago
In the Marines, men and women don't train together. They won't "fight" side by side since women aren't allowed in Infantry.

@fanuvgod1
Men and women do fight side by side as there is no true front lines. plus the Lioness program and others like it are sending women with Infantry, Scout, and tank troops.

All I have to say for people who are against females in the service is; go and fight one. Marines don't have genders.

What a stupid argument! any woman that wants in on combat - do it!! Just be careful for what you wish for as killing or the threat of getting killed every second of the day isn't as fun as the movies make it look.The Russians had female kill squads all through the second world war. I wonder how many female recruits there would be if they had to fill body bags for a month prior to marching off into the sunset.The recruiters job is to sell- it's your life and theres no coming back if your dead.

You couldn't handle boot camp. How are you gonna handle infantry? This is a non-issue for you since you never graduated. Not all women are as weak as you.
mttudotcom 2 years ago
I take it you were a non-hacker that never graduated from boot camp. Well to all those who never made it, I say, "boo-hoo." Those of us who graduated are proud that we made it, and didn't fake "suicide." It's a real shame Bumblebee. What should have been the defining moment in your life, you quit on.

No he isn't. I got out in 2002. Boot camp is exactly the same for us as the men. There is the physical differences in the pft but thats it. The women DI are just as ruthless as the men, they are even worse but they don't cuss at the women. That's the only other difference. They yell and get in your face and can be psychological demons but no cussing, it was awesome!

8:20pm Good evening, Bumblebee. I am that super duper female. I love the Marine Corps. In fact, after I finish acquiring my criminal justice degree, I'll enlist in the Navy for 4 years & join the Corps afterwards. I am deeply motivated. I fold my sleeves like a Marine Corps recruit & I give a proper greeting of the day.

Lyndehouse: Spoken like a true slimey civilian.
Back to the subject at hand ... A man can carry another man out of harm's way. A female cannot carry a man. Then there is the battle factor, where men will naturally seek to defend female Marines, and do stupid stuff to save them. This would cause more casualties on the battlefield. It is the nature of the man to rescue the weaker sex. When you can pee standing up, will talk further.
mttudotcom 2 years ago
Marines are trained killers and, unfortunately, they are not defending the United States. Our borders are open, our dollar is crashing, we face a deficit that can never be paid and offshore bankers are looting everything that is left. When Marines start questioning the criminal Federal Reserve Bank and wars started based on lies and half truths, I will call you patriots worthy of the Founding Fathers. But I don't see that leadership from the few and the proud.
Lyndehouse 2 years ago
I'd like to correct you on your one pointt. A Female CAN carry a male marine. If they couldn't they would not require females, as well as males, to participate in the CFT. A CFT in which I've carried males dozens of times some 20 lbs heavier than me as have other females in my unit , it is a matter of Training someone how to do it properly. If you know How to carry someone right, then it does not matter how small or big you are or gender all that matters is how in shape you are.
MoonlitMemories 2 years ago 2
You know I agree with you on the fact that women don't belong on the front lines, but don't be so apt to call us the "weaker sex" buddy.
keystonestategirl 2 years ago
Keystone - of course you are the weaker sex. If not, they why aren't women competing with men on every level? Toss out all "women's" sports: basketball, soccer, track, hockey, volleyball (but keep beach volleyball - hubba-hubba) golf, and so forth. Eliminate the sex barriers and stand on your own. You can't, and that's why you are weaker. Sorry.

Wait a second.... "Eliminate the sex barriers and stand on your own"?
We as men don't do that. Ever. Sex will always be a factor in what makes us different, but it's no ground to be hateful and say "we're stronger cause we play football!".
Someone said it earlier, but it's all about training, not strictly genetics. Don't let sports be your only differential argument.
mistakrunk 2 years ago
I'm a woman. I play rugby, not a "women's sport" exactly now is it? In my country, women fight in the front lines with the men, go though the exact same training in military too. I believe many women are weaker because they feel comfutable in that weak place because soicety lets them believe its okay for them to be weak, while men have something to live up to, to be strong from the moment they are born. If we changed that, women would not be weaker.
DeadButBreathing 1 year ago
You deleted your comment, but I still received it. I was going to retort that women cannot do the dirty business of killing because by nature, they nurture. But that's not true anymore is it? Since 1973, American women have killed over 50 million of their own children, they have blown away the number killed by men from all wars. With this in mind, I take back my charge that women should not be in infantry. Women are much more effective killers. Thank you for making me see the light Keystone.
mttudotcom 2 years ago
Wow.. you just bring in the most irrelevant data to try to defend yourself. By the 1973 comment I'm assuming you meant Roe vs Wade (which I personally do not support) and holds no bearing in this discussion. If you would have listened to my 1st post you would have realized I did agree w/ you that women don't belong on the front lines, at least not yet. However, I did not like your comment on us being the weaker sex. It is this type of thinking that stops minorities&women from making progress
keystonestategirl 2 years ago
Fair enough Keystone. I was just just explaining that I have come full circle, and now believe that women should be allowed to fight on the front lines. I mean any woman that can off her own child would do very well on the front lines. Back to the subject at hand: How does my belief that women are the weaker sex, keep you from progressing? What is it you seek to progress to? I made no mention of "minorities" - how are they now involved?
mttudotcom 2 years ago
Mttudotcom, I would be happy to answer that for you, but I currently have some more pressing matters to attend to. So I will get back to you in about 4 days.
keystonestategirl 2 years ago
Amen! We're SOOOO different, but that's what makes us work well together. Women aren't weak because they're different than men. I know so many women i'd consider as strong mentally (if not physically) as any man, be it a pro athlete or a male Marine. However, I absolutely agree that women are weaker physically. Doesn't mean we can't do a lot of the things men do--a lot of that stuff if just stick-to-itiveness, not just physical strength. But we're stronger when we accept our differences.

women cannot serve in the front lines and other certain jobs such as subs because of the personal hygiene issues could be hazardous because of the length of time that may be required in between showers and stuff a woman may be susceptible to infections and other medical conditions that may come with the lack of clean conditions i believe i can maybe find the source to that if you wish
