Anyone care to elaborate on their "favorite" events of TBS . Below is a motivating video on some of our platoons best times.

What you think of as motivating, I think of as playing soldier in the woods for an extended time with all the associated discomforts and bullshit (i.e. demotivating says the former Army infantryman)...... Which is why I choose the Navy and aviation as a career.......Below is a motivating video on some of our platoons best times.
No shirtless, dog-tag volleyball? That sucks...... Below is a motivating video on some of our platoons best times.
1. Yes1. ALL USMC Officers go through TBS, yes…regardless of MOS/designator or whatever you call it? Infantry-types as well as law-dogs?
2. Is it "the same" for all, or slightly tailored for combat arms officers vs. the rest?
3. Is there a standard that has to be met, or is it just an endurance/exposure thing?
The reason I ask is that I'm trying to better understand the "WIC" thing. If not in TBS, where would "the same standards" women would have to meet start to really cull the herd? Is there a follow-on Infantry Officers' Course or some such thing?
Please…don't shit on me too hard…I'm honestly curious and want to better understand.
...For some events, there's a testable standard - for others it's an exposure thing.
And yes, there is a follow on Infantry Officers' Course.
I would argue that the need to meet the same standards should be in IOC vice TBS. TBS already has gender-normed standards. The purpose of it is to train you to be a basic Infantry platoon commander (think base is being over-run and you need to organize a provisional infantry platoon), and you follow on to your primary MOS school after that. That's where no-shit professional infantry officers need to meet the same standard, regardless of gender. I've watched guys go through IOC indoc, and it's a kick in the balls to say the least...Thanks for the response…very informative. Sooo…the whole "need to meet the same standards" thing lies in some combination of TBS testable events and the IOC?

IOC indoc, and it's a kick in the balls to say the least...
Do I sense a fear that, sometime soon, some women will? Would that mean the end of the Marine Corps as we/you know it?Those two females didn't complete the course though, so maybe not...
