Well....I didn't see another thread so thought I'd chime in with a Happy Birthday to all my Brothers out there.
My sincerest respect to ALL that serve/have served Honorably in the branch of their choice.
Not many choose to do so.
Have a great day and Semper Fi.
Carry on....

Make sure you all go take advantage of the freebies on Wednesday. I have a route set up where I hit 8 Sheetz gas stations for a 6 inch sub and a drink as well as 8 Little Caesar's pizza shops for a free lunch pizza and drink. That will be food for a week! That I don't have to pay for!!!
I love free!

Thanks gents for chiming in. Eddie1261.... I'm in rural Kansas so all those little perks aren't ubiquitous out here. TBH...I haven't taken any advantage of those sorts of perks. I'd be kind of embarrassed to tell a proprietor "I'm a veteran" to get something free. I don't draw attention to myself or my service/experiences in this context. But, that's just my hangup.  Respect to you for serving. bobflatpicker and DannyC.... Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts. Yep....today in Veteran's day and there's not many who choose to serve. Have a great day everyone.

And that's what happens when you get a couple of patriots in a bar, drinking beer, and talking about shooting things.
"Hey... I got an idea.... why don't we start a group where we can drink beer and then get out rifles and go out and shoot things.... and we can get the navy to float us around in their boats so we can go other places too and drink beer and shoot more things..... "
And so, the United States Marine Corps was formed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia.
Semper Fi fellow leather necks.

Strange story you US Marine Veterans may not have heard. The Marine Corps has a mandate to either (1) modify San Diego and Parris Island boot camps to provide fully integrated training to male and female boots or (2) close both camps and create one boot camp that can fulfill the mission.

I don't know about G.I Jane but I do know the US Armed Forces we remember no longer exists. Forty percent of those wanting to enlist are female and one hundred percent of all enlistees are volunteers.

I remember the farce that was Shannon Faulkner all too well. Those of you who may not remember or are not American can Google her. In short she made a big deal of trying to enroll in The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina. She did it mainly as a publicity stunt to bring attention to herself despite her claims that she did it to be a martyr for women in the future. After almost 2 years of legal posing, she went out for her first day of physical training and 4 hours later was in the infirmary with heat stroke, and when she got out 5 days later she resigned. Yet she continues to say she is an alumni of The Citadel. Recent photos of her, now 44 and a junior high English teacher, make it clear that even in 1995 at 19 years of age she could never have met the rigorous physical requirements. She continues to accept steep speaking fees as "The first woman to attend The Citadel." For one week.
I am woman, Hear me scam.
And THAT is your armed forces anymore.

The intentions were misguided by both Ms. Faukner and The Citadel. Many male cadets suffer from heat stroke and wash out.
In the sixties and seventies The Citadel's wash out rate was above sixty percent. In the latest statistics reported, 29.2 percent of the 2015 class, with a gender ratio of 87 percent male and 13 percent female, failed to graduate.
The United States Armed Forces could not meet its obligations without the contributions of its female troops. There just aren't enough capable male volunteers and the military leadership do not want a return to conscription.

What angered me was how obvious it was that this was a publicity stunt. Knowing she was going to face the most stern and aggressive physical challenge of her life, by her own admission she did absolutely no conditioning training in the time prior that the lawyers were fighting in court. She had over a year while the legal wrangling went on. Not one pushup, one lap around a running track....
Nobody has ever come out to say that GI Jane was based on Faulkner, but the similarities always made me think so. Then again, what do I know?

They've had WAMs at PI for quite a while. I think they had them there when I was in. Early 70's. They had the best barricks in the center of the base.....and that part of the base was "off limits" to us recruits.
In my opinion, the US military is not a place to be conducting social experiments. It is a place to train men to kill by any and all means possible to defend the country from enemies foreign and domestic. If women want to join, that's cool. There are things they can do that are needed.....(redacted the rest of this)
The smell of that island is forever etched in my memory.
