A platoon of female Marines made history by graduating from this San Diego boot camp
CNN
The Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego saw its first gender-integrated class of Marines graduate after completing boot camp together this year.
But before this year, male and female recruits never trained side-by-side. This week, after grinding through three months of training and team building, the San Diego depot's first gender-integrated class of Marines graduated after completing boot camp together. The historic first was motivated by the National Defense Authorization Act, signed in 2020, which required the Marines to begin training male and female recruits together before 2028.More Related News
