Tha is the crux of the argument --- They aren't and don't. (meet the same standards)

First, there are damn few MEN who are worth their weight as a combat soldier, even fewer who stand up to the test of MCRD. Second, if you keep me awake for 48 hours I ain't worth a crap walking or riding.

Lowering standards isn't the answer.
Those chicks in the 617th MP Co. proved to me that they ARE worth a lot in a combat enviroment. Proof is in the pudding.

In conclusion, lower standards-no
If chicks can haul their load-yes

Schrek,

I am with you in that regard.

Overall Mission focus should never be comprimised for PC.

Yet at the same time, some units, with what appears to be methodology in training and expectations, can overcome the obvious.

Those that prevail, must be lauded, and their methodolgy researched and implimented.

Across the board? no.

Too many PC tokens in every dadgum "integrated" unit I ever dealt with.

I currently am dealing with a "Integrated unit" underneath me in a Govt. regulated private sector entity.

70% of the staffing issues are with females.
80% of the workload stress issues are with the females.

But there are those 10% that are meaner than a rabid Pitbull on Crack, and hold the line to the end, that keep my mind open.


Every once in a while I envision trading some of the male "snivel sissies" for the good dozen Chicks on the force.

Life would be good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Issues with Men being lazy and documenting the fact, is as bad as documenting certain females being unfit.

Whatever and however the 617th did to acheive this level of commitment and resolve, needs to be studied.

I am afraid "Integrated units" are here to stay, and we need to put effort into maximizing the human assets under those constraints.
