Marine Corps

[close] This group is for Leadership Education And Development among all ranks of United States Marines

[close] In 2014, Lt. Col. Kate Germano headed up the Marine Corps' all-women boot camp battalion--the only all-women battalion in any of the U.S. military branches. When she arrived, she found women lagged behind men in every category, including injury rates, weapons qualification and academics. So, she conducted a reboot, and immediately saw improvements in every area. The Marine Corps response? They booted her for being "too abrasive." Kate and co-author Kelly Kennedy would like to answer your questions about Fight Like A Girl, and hear about your experiences, both in the military and in the civilian workforce.

[close] This group is primarily intended for active, reserve, retired or military veterans. This serves as a forum to discuss professional reading for military history, current affairs, etc. The U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force all have professional reading lists which are largely mandatory for active personnel based on rank/pay grade. This can provide a forum for professional discussion and mentorship. Veterans of foreign military are highly encouraged to join and offer insight and alternative perspectives. Not intended for military fiction, science fiction, military romance, etc.
