Forty-two have become infantry riflemen, 28 are assault amphibious vehicle Marines, and 25 are Marine Corps cannoneers. More than 50 enlisted women have joined grunt units, but Hierl remains the only female officer to command an infantry platoon. Of the more than five dozen female officers who've served in previously closed roles, all but nine have served in just two jobs: field artillery officer and combat engineer officer.
The Marine Corps has had a pair of female tank officers, three AAV officers and two low-altitude air defense officers. Berger in March acknowledged that cultural barriers still exist when it comes to women serving in the infantry. He stressed that a leader's capabilities should be based on performance -- not gender. Gender doesn't matter. Can you carry the load? Can you do the job?
If you can, all the rest works itself out. Whether a Marine passes IOC or washes out, everyone should get the same opportunity to try it, Berger said. Follow her on Twitter ginaaharkins.

Military families and retirees will be paying more for Tricare in , but thankfully the price increase is relatively small Military News. The Marine Corps has opened up lateral moves for officers to eight job fields, as part of the fiscal year officer lateral move program, according to an administrative message released Oct.
Officers in the infantry officer, combat engineer officer, tank officer, assault amphibious vehicle officer, military police officer, aircraft maintenance officer, aviation supply officer and electronic countermeasures officer military occupational specialties are eligibly for the program. They are eligible to apply for lateral entry into the manpower officer, intelligence officer , logistics officer, communications officer, cyberspace warfare officer and the ground supply officer job fields.
The administrative message is released every year making slight adjustments to which job fields are eligible for lateral moves based on the needs of the Marine Corps, Yvonne Carlock, a spokeswoman for Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs, told Marine Corps Times in a Wednesday email.
Officers looking to lateral move either to or from job fields that were not mentioned in the administrative message will have their applications considered on a case-by-case basis.
If a lateral move request is accepted, the Marine is required to spend at least 36 months in the Corps after officially being awarded the new military occupational specialty, with the exception of those transferring into the cyberspace warfare officer field. Those officers will incur a 72 month service obligation after they graduate from the schoolhouse and earn the new MOS. Your saying you want to spend a year in mos school learning the ins and outs of an aircraft, go to the fleet, pick up corporal or something, and then all of a sudden drop the wrench and pick up a rifle?
Yes that is exactly what I'm saying. It might sound crazy when you look at from either a POG or grunt point of view but infantry does hold some intrest fro me. I also did think about that fact that I would probably get promoted faster than infantry and if i transfered i would be a higher rank with the same amount of years. BUT this was just a question out of curiosity, not saying i would actually switch. You'll probably be a Cpl, maybe a Sgt. I don't know the cutting score.
You won't be treated like one by some people, but you will be by others. You can tell the difference between a boot Cpl who has lat moved or came from SF and that of one that been on combat deployments Experience is more important than rank when it comes to billets.
Oh I most definitely agree with you backhaus. If I ever got bored with jet engines and i wanted to go out and kill babies So what if I'm a sergeant from the technical side, I know I still a noob aka boot when it comes to infantry. Originally Posted by BIGdreams.
