The U.S. Marine Corps will soon have its first female infantry officer. The unnamed lieutenant is expected to lead an infantry platoon of about 40 marines:
The Marine Corps is set to have its first female infantry officer, a milestone in its nearly 250-year-long history.
The lieutenant is scheduled to graduate with her all-male peers on Monday after she completed all of the graduation requirements in the service's grueling 13-week Infantry Officer Course, the Corps said. Her completion of the course was first reported by The Washington Post. The officer's name was not made public.
The course was opened to women in 2012, and on an experimental basis. More than 30 women attempted it, but when none passed, the course was once again closed to females in the spring of 2015. After the Pentagon opened all military jobs to women, four additional women tried the course without success.
Also at The Hill.

Yeah, from the local cisgender lesbian--fuck you sideways, J-Mo. I bet if we went through your browser history there'd be loads of transsexual pornography in it. You care waaaaaay too much about this stuff to be entirely secure in your sexuality and gender identity, if you ask me.
Are trans people defective? In the sense that the latest research I've seen identifies abnormalities in one of the striae, IIRC, yes...but by this standard so are the nearsighted. What's your point, besides that you have an ick and you want everyone to know you have an ick?

Yea, visual defects are defects, we can correct them now but in days past they were a major handicap to survival. Not on the level of being so fudged up you can't figure out how to reproduce, but defective. Yes I wear bifocals. Difference is I'm not trying to define my entire existence around that (now) minor defect, not trying to force everyone else to redefine it as 'normal', not trying to invent and impose some bullshit made up word on everyone with eyes that do not need corrective lenses, not trying to encourage children with perfectly normal vision to wear glasses even if they might damage them. You and your prog ilk on the other hand....

Little know fact: jmorris has no offspring. Infact, jmorris has no spring. And, jmorris never had a Rumspringa, so by default, jmorris is a virgin. Can we sacrifice him now? Burning man is just over, but the WickerMan is just getting started. jmorris is profoundly defective, mostly mentally, but also morally, so we can only speculate about the rest of him. jmorris! Have you ever danced with the Devil in the Pale Moon light? Or toyed with the idea of voting for Ted Cruz?

Wait, you think he's Amish? I really don't think so, man. He's posting on the Intertubes, a very un-Amish activity. Unless he was the little boy from Witness and has since gone wrong...

Good Lord, do you think I go around trying to "turn" straight women or something? You actually believe there's some big gay plot to convert the human race to homosexuality--not that that's even possible, if the science is right--and crash the population or God knows what else?
This is the mark of either incurable intellectual laziness (i.e., you heard this from somewhere and went "hurr seems legit") or insanity. No, I don't want more lesbians out there. So long as one particular one, my girlfriend, exists, I wouldn't care if no one else was but us.
