Marines Female Boot Camp: Strong Training turns Women into Tough Marine | MFA

Recruits with Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, participate in the Initial Strength Test, Pick up, Senior Drill Instructor Inspection, and weapons maintenance at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, April 13, 2021. Recruits train past the average working hours of the day to ensure they learn as much as possible while on the recruit depot.
There have been women in the United States Marine Corps since 1918, and women continue to serve in the Corps today. As of 2016, women make up 8% of all active enlisted Marines, and 7.5% of active Officers. These numbers give the Marine Corps the lowest ratio of women in all of the U.S military branches. Women's presence in the Marine Corps first emerged in 1918 when they were permitted to do administrative work in an attempt to fill the spots of male Marines fighting overseas. It was not until 1948 that women were able to become a permanent part of the Corps with the passing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act. However, even with the Integration Act, women were still banned from certain military occupation specialties. It was not until 2016 that Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced that all military occupations would be open to women without exception. As of 2018, there were 18 women serving in the Marine Corps combat arms. In December 2020, the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego agreed to join the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in accepting female recruits, with 60 female recruits started their boot camp training at the San Diego depot in February 2021.
