Three more women to attempt the grueling Infantry Officer Course
By: Shawn Snow   1 day ago


Three more women are about to attempt the challenging 13-week Infantry Officer Course at Quantico, Virginia.

To date, only 35 women have attempted the notoriously challenging infantry school. Come the first week of April, that number will be 38.

So far, only one woman has successfully passed the IOC, earning a coveted spot as an infantry platoon commander. Only five women have attended since the actual 0302 infantry officer job field was opened to women.

The ONLY way females can meet the  qualifications are if the qualifications are lowered. Period.

And even after they lower the standards so that women can command infantry platoons,they STILL can't lead them in combat.

Don't worry,though. That change is coming also,and the end result is more Marines and soldiers will die in combat trying to take care of the women.and because the women just don't have the strength and endurance to throw a man wearing combat gear over their backs and run with him.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
