The 75th Ranger Regiment's "Blue Book" of standards was recently modified to include gender neutral language and the addition of an entire sub-section regarding "pregnant Rangers."

Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time.
The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance.
Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers will then train the Marines under them.
Topics include unconscious bias, which focuses on how people prejudge others based on factors such as race and gender, and principles of institutional change. The seminar will also walk officers through the elements of the Corps' plan for opening ground combat jobs to women and include vignettes featuring challenges units might encounter.

those Marines have already been educated on what it means to be a Marine...
...now it seems they need to be REeducated
Re-education - now in new 'millennial' flavor as well as our crowd favorite, 'sugar free newspeak' flavor
I'd say words mean things, but not even the phrase "words mean things" means what it used to mean.
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means 'is and never has been' that's one thing -

Putting women on the front line is dangerous PC meddling. We will pay for it in bloo

An interesting article from an office on the other side of the pond.
On the "not lower standards" line there is an interesting gem from lower in the story..
"...The damage will be budgetary as well as tactical. Even in the tranquillity of a peacetime barracks, three RAF women sustained spinal and pelvic injuries due to over-striding to keep pace with the men on parade.
They were awarded £100,000 each. The RAF’s remedy was to shorten stride-length and place women at the front of the squad to set a reduced pace for the men – an ominous indication of things to come for the infantry..."

Dangerous PC meddling? I guess that's only in the Brit Army, because that's not what our leadership is saying...

FORT STEWART, Ga. -- Despite some initial challenges, allowing female soldiers to serve in combat jobs that have long been closed to women should ultimately "make the Army stronger," the top general at Fort Stewart said Friday.
Maj. Gen. Jim Rainey, commander of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division, discussed the upcoming change during a question-and-answer session with reporters...

I'm waiting for the West Point football coach to say, "having women on our team should ultimately make us stronger".

This kind of thinking can certainly get him closer to that third star.

Enlightened leader. A thinking warrior who is prepared to confidently and competently lead Americans into battle in the new century.
That damn West Point football coach can't hold a candle...he is mainly concerned with winning. How short sighted of him...

Well here is the firs one to enlist into the infantry.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/police-of...202200259.html
A police officer from Louisiana has become the Army's first ever female infantry recruit.
Tammy Grace Barnett, 25, had her swearing in on Thursday at Military Entrance Processing Station in Shreveport. The historic moment came just days after the processing center got word that women would now be allowed to sign up for combat jobs.
"They told me that I would be the first female in history to go infantry in the military," the Robeline native told KSLA.
According to an Army news release, Barnett first visited a recruiting station in November with a plan to join military police.
"But infantry is similar, and they are more on the front lines, like law enforcement here, and I said that's what I want to do," she said.
"I have served the front lines in my hometown ... and now I am going to serve the front lines for my country.
“I want to deploy, see action, and I definitely want to go to Airborne school.”
Barnett will head to basic training in June 2017 at Fort Benning in Georgia. The Army explained that the 14-month delay "is to allow the Army to properly prepare for new trainees by having trained female officers and [noncommissioned officers] in position."
In the meantime, Barnett said she hopes other women will follow her lead.
"If I can do it, they can do it too," she said.
