    From the Townhall blog post; "A newly released academic report from the University of Pittsburgh recommended that the U.S. Marine Corps drop the words “sir” and “ma’am” used to address senior officers to avoid “misgendering” drill instructors despite there only being 14,000 females in the Marine Corps, which makes up of only 7 percent of the branch."

    Not of my watch if I can stop it. If the Marines can hold off for two more years a new Commander-in-Chief can stop this stupid silly nonsense. Besides young men and women need a good 'spit shower' now and again.

    It was only a matter of time. No stars to those who aren’t on board with the agenda.

    I am a Marine, the USMC is perhaps the most political savvy of all the armed services. Congress is well aware of the Corps popularity and recognizes us as the most bang per buck. The USMC will continue to court Congress with the small silly stuff in order to gain or retain important war fighting funding. I for one often thought of MANY terms for drill instructors other than Ma'am or Sir. ;)

    Started with joint training on PI. They use to call the wooden slats to climb on one of the obstacles in the confidence course the “4th battalion stairwell” because none of the women could climb a rope. 4th battalion was the female only recruit training battalion at the time

    Nothing like jumping the gun! There is no reporting that the USMC is accepting this recommendation or invoking this policy, only this...

    "A newly released academic report from the University of Pittsburgh..."
