Hump:

There is no "correct" answer to your question, if it were delivered by me, including the textbook classic.

But here's a clue:

I've seen men buckle under far lesser stress, the same goes for women. We never know what one may do under any circumstance until one is there - in reality. Training prepares a Marine to meet any condition under any circumstance at any time. Training prepares one to "slip" into a thinking mindset in order to achieve a task to meet the objective in the least amount of time when the occassion arises. We never know with 100% certainly what one may do until the moment arrives - that includes you.

I wish you well with your search for the answer you seek. However, if I suspect correctly, whatever I would say would be wrong no matter how correct the answer may actually be.

semper fi

Default DONT MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to what a body can do!!!!!!!!!! I'm not laughing one bit after 12 months and 6 days across the pond, at 30 below.. As to taking care of someone, I do not care what your ethinticity, your religion, age, iq, or hat band size is, but if you are not prepared to do the job required, AT THE TIME, all other is irrelevant. Whatever the above you might qualify for, or not. If YOU. whomever you are, can't get my butt out of a jam. what else are you good for?????? This is not a facetious question, but reality!!!!!!!! Get on the front line for a month and a half or two at 30 below and then tell me what your thoughts might be!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't freeze your butt off first. Bet You'd have a varied different view if that ever occurred. But we really don't have to concern ourselves about that do we, so we can VERBALIZE, what we think, SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dragon Lady,

You had a dollie, too, eh? Those things came in damn handy when you had to get out to a plane parked a mile away and you had to haul that heavy tool box and the personnel van was elsewhere. We had to build our dollies ourself so I put the type of wheels on mine that you'd find on a little red wagon. It rolled a helluva lot easier than the small steel wheels most of the guys used. Were you allowed to have bicycles? We did...for a while, anyway. I found one in a dumpster and cleaned it up, patched the tires and painted it Air Force Blue. I even rigged up a telescoping extension so I could pull the tool box dollie behind it. That bike came in real handy for getting parts and tools from the "shed" in a hurry and I didn't want to wait for the van. Personally, I thought it made us more efficient and was great for morale. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be decided it made us too independent so they told us to get rid of them. Figures.

This is a hard subject for me to dicuss, as I have had my sierra jumped into by women on other bbs' and I have called a dinosaur discussing this topic. I'm sorry but I don't think women need to be drafted. There are women on active duty, if a women wants to go into the service then enlistment is best. I don't want to see women placed in infantry units at the company level. I know there are women at division, brigade, and battalion level in infantry units. I guess I am old fashioned and don't want woman to be exposed to battle and more than they have to. I know women soldiers get PTSD, but maybe the chances of exposure are limited if you keep them out of rifel companies.
