Now basic trainees train in tennis shoes instead of combat boots, because they hurt their feet. It went to Hell in 1985 when women and men started training together. I went through basic training in 1985 and everyone was confused about the "rules" about fraternization. It was funny, you couldn`t go to a port-a-john without interrupting a sexual encounter. I saw many drill sergeants get accused of having sex with female trainees. Rules had to be implemented where a drill sergeant had to have another drill sergeant with him at all times for his own protection. Now they are letting females be Army Rangers. I don`t know how it is being done, but I will hazard a guess that the standards are either being ignored or lowered to a point where the standards don`t even matter. There is a place for women in the military, but there are also places in the military where they don`t need to be. The next real war ought to be fun. IMHO.
Brings new meaning to Drill Sergeant, or Drill Instructor.
