Semper Fi to the Ladies

THE FIRST 3 Female Marines Graduate Grueling Infantry Training Course
The first three women to ever complete the Marine Corps’ grueling combat training course graduated from infantry school in Camp Geiger, N.C., today are Pfcs. Julia Carroll, Christina Fuentes Montenegro and Katie Gorz.

In a very intense 9-week training program they made the transition from entry-level Marines to combat-ready Marines. It group began with 15 women and 266 men. Today, three women and 221 men graduated.

Every man and women should have compulsory military training in this country for at least 2 years. It may help take a few kinks out of their attitudes, teach them some responsibility and learn what the word respect means. Most of the kids today sure need it.

Semper Fi to all the ladies and their male counterparts. They are now considered one of “The Few – The Proud – The Marines”.
