Today will be ladies day on this site……I do not write enough about women and their accomplishments….for that I apologize and will attempt to do better in the future…….

There are many things women do that we should be proud of….and then there are somethings that need to be written about….this one gets a big Chuq KUDOS!….

Newser) – For the first time, women have passed a military ordeal that would crush most men—the Marine Corps infantry training course. Three women out of 15 to enlist in the program will graduate from the course tomorrow after 59 grueling days of training, including a 12.5-mile hike carrying almost 90 pounds of gear, the Marine Corps Times reports. A fourth woman who finished the course at Camp Geiger in North Carolina will graduate when she heals from an injury and can pass the required combat fitness test.

The women were held to the same fitness standards as men throughout the course. But while the military’s ban on women serving in combat roles was scrapped earlier this year, the women who passed the course will not be assigned to infantry units or given an infantry occupational specialty. Instead, they will be assigned to non-combat roles and their graduation will be noted as part of the Marine Corps’ years of research on opening certain ground combat roles to women.

One small step for the military….one large step for women……now they need to put all the chauvinistic crap to bed…….
