Women on the frontline
ETA: DIYPatriot beat me to it. Is it possible to delete/merge this thread with his? http://professionalsoldiers.com/foru...ad.php?t=50040
Well that escalated quickly...
Are the PT standards going to be leveled now? I doubt it. I'm unsure whether to consider myself fortunate to be born in such tumultuous times, or pissed at my mother...

Snip from article:
Quote:
Defense Secretary Ash Carter is expected to announce Thursday that women in the U.S. military – including the Army and Marines – can now serve in combat posts. It's the most emphatic step taken in a process to open combat jobs to women that began in January of 2013.
Carter is making an announcement at noon Thursday; we'll update this post with news from the event.
Women are being cleared to play a greater role in combat — and vie for thousands of jobs — after the military conducted an internal review of how they might perform in artillery, armor, and infantry roles.
