Defense Secretary to Open All Combat Jobs to Women
 
I know this has been an ongoing discussion here, but now it is official...

Quote:
Defense Secretary Ash Carter will order the military to open all combat jobs to women, and is giving the armed services until Jan. 1 to submit plans to make the historic change, a senior defense official has told the Associated Press.

Carter's announcement is expected later Thursday.

It rebuffs arguments from the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman that the Marine Corps should be allowed to exclude women from certain front-line combat jobs, citing studies showing that mixed-gender units aren't as capable as all-male units.

The defense official said all the services will have to begin putting plans in place by April 1.

The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

I eagerly await the establishment of quotas when they don't get enough volunteers.

"In place by April 1st"

Intentional or unintentional joke?

Only in this administration can you produce factual evidence that something can not and will not work, and still be superseded.

By the 4th SECDEF none the less.

I love how Panetta is now speaking out about the administration..........

Where were you 3 years ago when you could have actually done something about it, or at least blew the lid off of it.

The fix is in...........we are a dying breed gents.

Panetta doe not have to depend on Barry for a check anymore, which seems to be the major reason O's underlings are afraid to call an ace an ace and a spade a spade. What will O's last frontier be, he has been on a feeding frenzy that seems to have no end in regards to decimating our country.

His masters aren't very good...every time his mouth moves, I see his strings moving.

We all knew that was going to happen.

1 April was my date of rank when I was promoted to CPT. Never heard the end of it. This is an even bigger joke.

^^^^^Cowards. Glad I'm out.

I stopped watching it when he said the standards would not be lowered. :rolleyes:

Ditto, I'm so very happy I'm out.

Mills 12-03-2015 16:02
What an effing joke that was.

I trust their statements about as much as I do the S-1 guys who tells me that he will get my pay fixed.

This is the beginning of the end.

LOL

Bring back the draft and see how fast that idea wilts.
