As the first female enlisted infantry Marines take their places in operational units, another female officer is preparing to attempt what hay trs so far been the most challenging hurdle for women entering the infantry: the Corps' famously grueling Infantry Officer Course.
One female second lieutenant is set to start the course in approximately 90 days, a spokesman for Marine Corps Training and Education Command, Capt. Joshua Pena, told Military.com.
The officer, who attempts the course after having completed the service's basic officer training courses, will be the second woman to try to do so since the Marine Corps opened all combat jobs to women, Pena said.
