Women in combat policy to change

[CCIP]

I'm also not sure the "distraction" argument is really valid. There are a lot of professional high-pressure situation where men and women are in close quarters and there is no issue. This depends more on individuals' discipline and professionalism than gender.

The same type of excuse is also often offered for things like bullying - put a lot of young guys together, and tempers can go out of control. Yet that's really not an excuse and there's all sorts of evidence pointing to the fact that individual discipline and personal qualities matter more than demographics or supposed biological factors.

On the other hand experiments in social engineering always seem to be acceptable when it's someone else whose life is being put at risk. Even if it's just another straw on the camels back it has to add to the considerable load that's already there.

I say let's finish up our present wars first and do the experimenting once our troops are back to peacetime training mode.

Then let me assure that it is valid, and I find your uncertainty handsomely off. : During my service, one day myself and few of the lads from our company had orders to drive to a remote training camp to assist in weapon handling, and preparation of ranges for live firing exercises. Upon our arrival and much to our amusement were young female recruits from a logistics corps. ( I cannot recall why they were not properly instructed by there own). Throughout the day weapon handling, lunch, the lads and I noticed they were very flirty full of laughter etc coming from the Parachute Regiment we didn't tolerate nonsense. The more serious we got they seemed to get more joking, it sometimes stopped us in our tracks, we did come down a level to perhaps joke with them for a moment to keep them on par. That evening whilst stood down from duty (I blush to tell you) : I had intercourse with one the young ladies. The next day on the ranges we got more serious with them as they were to use live rounds. The young lady was in my section of 3, I kept getting glances and smiles from all. When it was her turn my thoughts were drifting to lust as I was drawn to her ass in the combat uniform and thought of my seed within her as she adopted the prone firing positions previously taught to them Now I have served within an elite, trained alongside SF, 68% of the SAS are made up from soldiers from the Parachute Regiment, thus I believe it proper to say I was well trained, disciplined, but "distraction" happens. If females meet the standards then so be it, though I would urge an all female infantry regiment, do not mix. Ever seen woman going through Nuclear Biological Chemical Warfare drills? What happens if most females regiment get wiped out, loss of communication and they in ad hoc groups? etc I know not and will judge not, if they pass our subsim werewolf hunt unmolested then let them march.

I would say that Lord Justice experiences are not necessarily uncommon only the situation was not the best.He just decided to get laid that was his choice and honestly if he was a person of rank then he made a poor choice if you go for a "one night stand" then you take a lot of risks.Further more according to your story that you did not force the situation of course if you have sexual interactions with woman you are most certainly going to be a bit distracted by her ass if you see it again later Of course this situation or the one that lead to such feelings was consensual and you still did maintain yourself to some degree. I would say that whoever planned this whole thing was not thinking as it sounds like the unit being trained was very young and inexperienced they should have been trained by a bunch of old reservists or what ever they are called in England not by Para hell regular male rear echelon troops might get a bit excited being trained by Paras



A guy in one of my old units found out that he had slept with an officer cadet that was on a summer time "shadowing" tour where cadets go to a base and work with officers on the job.He had assumed that she was an enlisted person as he met her of base and he did not ask and she did not say he figured out the next Monday seeing her with a group of officer cadets clearly what she was.Of course this guy was for sure loose as where any women he picked up military or non would not have shocked if he was known by name at the clinic.
