Second woman on track to graduate the Corps’ Infantry Officer Course may be your next recon platoon commander
By: Shawn Snow  

Marines participate in an exercise during the Infantry Officer Course at Quantico, Va., Aug. 10, 2017. The first female Marine to complete the course graduated Sept. 25, 2017. (Master Gunnery Sgt. Chad McMeen/Marine Corps)

In another historic milestone for female Marines, another woman is on track to graduate the Corp’s grueling and arduous 13-week Infantry Officer Course on June 23, 2018, and she’s pushing for a job field that could put her in charge of the Corps’ elite reconnaissance Marines.

Only one woman thus far has successfully completed the course and gone on to don the occupational field 0302, infantry officer. She is currently serving as the only female infantry platoon commander.

Corps officials have made recent tweaks to the course including removing the Combat Endurance Test as a graduation requirement and the Corps reduced the number of evaluated hikes to graduate to three,

Of course they have,or both women would have washed out early.

I don't want to shock anyone,but women are NOT as strong as men,and don't have as much physical endurance.

Write that down so you don't forget it.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
