"The female Marines I worked with were the most professional Marines IYet a small number of women already have been attached to Special Operations teams in Afghanistan, and their former commander — a female— doesn't foresee women allowing any consensual antics if, eventually, they are officially assigned to those ultra-professional teams."As a female Marine, for example, you have to be more than professional because you're going into that situation where there’s already public opinion against how you behave and how you will perform," said Colleen Farrell, a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves who served in Afghanistan during 2010 and 2011. As a platoon commander there, she oversaw about 20 female troops attached to infantry and Special Operations units ever led in my career. When you have elite teams where the level of discipline is just so high, I really don’t think that’s going to be a problem," Farrell said.

I guess she's not hip

I guess she's not hip to what the young crowd thinks is cool these days.

The females have joined the males in hooking up with no strings - no thought of getting married.
