At nearly 50, in both age and waist size, our fearless leader @administrator may finally have a chance to qualify as a Marine infantry officer.
OBNOXIOUS EDIT FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR: I’ll have you know that I am a trim athletic factual 38 waist.

It’s for the girls. . .
Except, these could lead to stress fractures. . .
The girls better get in the weight room and squat like there is no tomorrow!
Yup-yup…
A 15-km hike with 105 lbs is almost identical to a 9-mi hike carrying 105 lbs. So the phrase “other two hikes” is puzzling.
And the best of the comments:

**** to infinity…No worries @ctlaw, this won’t last long; at least not in combat-arms. (Praying like mad, the Angel-Pup is.) Don’t want WMs getting hurt, but…
What about the other 92 genders of Marine?
…like furry chaplain pandas, M?
xctly.
RAH!

Don’t worry, Nanda. WM’s won’t be in the infantry. Some of the other 92 might, though. There’s already been one bawdy “sea story” about a female that made it through the IOC – only to be discovered to be “trans”, without the surgery yet.
As Gomer might’ve said: Shazam! Surprise, surprise, surprise… Btw, Howdy Dev!

We didn’t have an IOC when I went through TBS. But LT’s were being shot to fast in RVN that we worked our butts off getting done. Today it’s a lot more like a walk in the park.
Henry Narvaez, one of my old roommates, visited our old room a couple years back when we had the reunion in Alexandria. Two LT’s in the room – both with big screen TV’s up on the walls. Wonder if those go into combat with them. We didn’t have time to watch TV. We were too tired coming in from night patrols so we just slept. Funny how times change.
Innit, tho’?…
Gods of the Copybook Headings indeed.
