He brought with her a young Private First Class who had just graduated boot camp, and she was on recruiter duty. I've gotten to know her over the past two years. She is as Marine as Marine can be. She has a full six pack and is just ripped. She wanted a full combat role, and last time I talked to her she is a Low Altitude Air Defense (LAAD) Gunner assigned to an infantry unit.

If you asked me about Women Marines two years ago I wouldn't have thought too highly of them. However, now I am fine with it. A woman can do anything a woman can do, and a Marine can do anything.
^^ A well hung American Marine - his opinion on this topic matters
