Nearly six months after the Pentagon opened all military combat roles to women, the Marine Corps is making the change official in name — doing away with the word "man" in nearly two dozen job titles, NBC News confirmed.
The Marines in the next few days will announce gender-neutral name changes to 19 roles — a move ordered by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, the Marine Corps Times first reported.
The word "man" will be replaced with "Marine."

But an official told the Marine Corps Times the names of several so-called military occupational specialties, or MOSs, will not be changed following the months-long review.

"Names that were not changed, like rifleman, are steeped in Marine Corps history and ethos," the official told the publication. "Things that were changed needed to be updated to align with other MOS names."

All Combat Roles Are Now Open to Women, the Pentagon Says
In addition, titles such as manpower officer or vertical takeoff unmanned aerial vehicle specialist won't be changed because the jobs don't specifically refer to the person doing the task, the Times reported.
The job titles that are changing include: basic infantry Marine, light-armor vehicle Marine, basic field artillery Marine, reconnaissance Marine, antitank missile gunner, field artillery fire control Marine, field artillery operations chief and armor Marine.



Defense Secretary Ash Carter's announcement in December that the military would open up combat jobs to women represented a historic shift — and a chance for females to apply for some 220,000 military positions previously denied to them.
The move came three years after a deadline was set to lift the 20-year formal ban on women serving in combat, with President Barack Obama declaring at the time that "valor knows no gender." Some military leaders balked at the change, arguing that mixed units do not do as well as men-only ones, The Associated Press reported.
Mabus has said that women must meet the same physical testing requirements and standards as men.
The Navy and Air Force have since opened nearly all of their combat roles to women, with the Army still moving to do so.
Women have historically made up a small sliver of the Marine Corps.
Last month, the military said it had approved requests for two women to make lateral moves into Marine infantry roles — as a rifleman and machine gunner.

In another military milestone, the Pentagon could
announce as soon as this week that it will formally allow transgender men and women to serve openly.

Oh no's the English language is evolving.

I get the point however this discussion was fully played out in the late 70s to late 80s. I'm tired of it.

All we need now for true equality is to open selective service to women and transgenders born female because the federal government still considers transgenders born male to still be male for selective service eligibility.


https://www.sss.gov/Registration-Info/Who-Registration
TRANSGENDER PEOPLE

Individuals who are born female and have a gender change are not required to register. U.S. citizens or immigrants who are born male and have a gender change are still required to register.

This is dumb, just like forcing all MOS's open to women. Obviously made by someone ignorant of the facts.

Time to genetically alter all women... wouldn't want them to suffer the indignity of being human.

This:

  1. Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook and stir the mixture constantly until the beef is browned and forms small crumbles, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic and green bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  3. Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 more cup water and return mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 40 minutes.
  4. Season with salt , black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
