There has been a recent brouhaha about women serving in combat roles in America’s Armed Services. Since I, Professor Booty, do not talk politics, I am going to stay away from that subject entirely and just tell you about my experience with women in the military and my dealings with the US Navy.
I’m sure you’ve all heard of or even seen the movie “GI Jane�. Well, about three years ago the Navy came to the Occidental Tush Institute to try and recruit some of our students for a top secret program they we’re starting that involved women in the role of what could be considered the female equivalent of the Navy SEALs.
A large department of the Navy, the USMC to be exact, wanted a group of hardcore heartbreakers to be able to infiltrate an enemy’s defenses and cause mayhem and confusion within their lines as only beautiful woman can do.
We had over 30 applicants and 18 of our girls made it through the training. They were given the name “The 69th Beach ASSault Corp, 1st Battalion, 1st Division, USMC� or “The 6-911�.
After training for over six months and maneuvers for another nine months, the Navy scrapped the program. However, the girls were signed up for six year contracts and were unsure what they would be stuck doing for the remainder of their contracts.
They are all currently serving their country working poolside at the Instruction Officers club in Annapolis. I understand that the Commanding Officer of the facility was the one who pulled the strings to get the 6-911 program cut.
Oh well, at least the girls’ tuition will be paid when they return to the OTI.
Here are some pics of the girls in training and there will be more to follow tomorrow.
Here, Gunnery Sgt Fernandez demonstrates the 6-911’s BDU with their specialized camouflage pattern. It was a type of one piece coverall that had several inside pockets for hiding weaponry and, in a pinch, could double as an evening dress with the removal of just a couple of velcroed portions.
Ooops, Private Steele made it to the beachhead and found a good piece of cover, but was spooked when a land crab came up and pinched her toe.
Discipline, Private, disciplne. Maintain your cover.
See you all tomorrow.
