Well thank god.
Fwiw, I've never heard anybody say "I'm a recon-man" I've always just heard "I'm recon"
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself with this meme.

terms "rifleman" and "mortarman," are among those that remain untouched, according to a list — obtained by Marine Corps Times on Monday — of 33 MOSs that were reviewed. And that was by careful design, said a Marine official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Well thank god.

Riverine assault craft Marine.

Fwiw, I've never heard anybody say "I'm a recon-man" I've always just heard "I'm recon"

"We don't need [people who are easily offended] like that clogging up the institutions that protect our country."

Reconnaissance Marine is correct.

A name is just what people call you, it has no reflection on what you do. Its not that big of a deal.

I don't think the term has been officially changed yet, has it? If not, you're incorrect.

It isn't until you give merit to the people who say it is by changing up shite. We give in to everything for the sake of not having to listen to these pandering dumbarses, and now it has created a snowball effect.

This is pathetic.
Hopefully, scout sniper won't be changed.

Well, thank God we solved that problem.
Maybe we should change the word "Marine". It could trigger our enemies.
I'm thinking, "All inclusive protector of pan-national influence by intervention of force after failure of political negotiations-er"

I know the term has always been "Recon Marine" but every time I've talked to one of them they've always just referred to themselves as just Recon.
Posted on 6/28/16 at 8:52 am to TigerFanInSouthland
I was active duty from 1996-2000. I was a Marine and a military policeMAN.

That's my feeling.
I'm more concerned about PT standards and opening up combat arms to women.

OK.

Would the 2% of women that even qualify for these positions actually get upset?

Not likely. If they did, they need to find something else to do.

All the people that argue it's not that big of a deal, that it's just a name. You shouldn't mind changing it if it's not that important.

There's no use worrying about this. If females can't get past the first two weeks of SOI, there's no way in absolute hell they'll get through BRC.
After a few dislocate their pelvises, as they so often do, the standards will be lowered to accommodate a minority of the military population that wants to "play combat".
