From the Washington Times:
The failure of two Marine Corps officers to to pass the Jan. 8 first-day Combat Endurance Test of the infantry officer course brings the tally of female dropouts to 26.
One more group of female officers will have a shot at graduation before the Marine Corps completes its integration experiment in June. The next IOC program begins in April.
Military Times reported Friday that of the current IOC class, 15 men out of a class of 118 were forced to drop the course.
Opportunities for female enlisted Marines to cycle through Infantry Training Battalion for seven MOS-specific ground combat training programs will also end soon, the newspaper reported. Marine Corps statistics show that out of 240 volunteers, 106 were successful.
Marine Corps officials will look at all the results of the integration experiment in June and then offer their recommendations to the defense secretary by the end of 2015, Military Times reported.

First, thank you to the Marine Corp for not dumbing down the course just to get females to pass the test.
But the Obama brown shirts so wanted to show that females were equal to men when it comes to front line infantry officers and they were shown that just isn't the case.
That's not to say that women should not be allowed into combat roles in the military.
But this shows that women just are not cut out to be front line infantry Mare Corp officers.
And this is not to disparage any of the females who tried out for the course- they could kick ass on 95% of the men in the United States but the Marines want people who can kick ass 100% of the time.
