engineers

Funny story I think.


So I was talking to one of the engineers in Service Company. They got their first female Marine in their platoon. So before she arrived, the Staff NCO's had a platoon meeting with the troops. During this meeting, they told all the male Marines; don't look at her, don't touch her, don't talk to her, don't date her, don't make any sexist jokes anymore, in fact don't even joke when your around her.

I though this was hilarious. The reason the higher ups said that (for u non military ppl) because females in the Marine Corps are very rare. Whenever they go somewhere, complaints suddenly pop up, about sexual harassment, rape, etc. While it's a bad stereotype, but it happens enough so that the higher ups are sacred what will happen.
