One of the questions I asked at my old CO's brief was "Have other countries adopted a similar policy, and if so have they faced similar problems as servicemen here expect?"

They said that serving in Afghanistan with the Dutch blew their minds with the way everything was co-ed. They said that males and females shared all facilities. They said they never saw a break up in problems amongst the Brits, or French.

That brought me faith and pride.

Are you kidding me it took you that long to figure out that there are female Marines that are gay. Females don't belong in the Corps. They belong in the Navy or Airforce and maybe the Army. And Marines aren't double dutching
