Wasn't a better thread for it so... here it goes.



Sgt. Alyssa Triplett has apparently become the first woman to pass the Scout Swimmer course for the USMC since it was established in 1986. Not sure the details but the course itself seems fairly arduous as it involves buddy tows, underwater swimming, lugging rifles around and the like. Passing the Scout Swimmer course is apparently a prerequisite for participation in boat raids and to be utilized to deploy to landing sites to signal followup amphibious landings.

Coming up for air: Marines challenged by scout swimmer course

Marines participated in a scout swimmers course Oct. 22 at the Camp Hansen Aquatics Center. The scout swimmers course provides the Marine Corps with amphibious capabilities, so Marines can begin a

What does the 'Sand Shark' label mean though? Is it related to being a scout swimmer or something else?

I wonder how lowering the standards will play out in those nations when said special units get sent into the ultimate test of combat. Needless to say I'm of the opinion that once that happens the standards will go right back to what they once were

People have made that claim with the US Army Infantry and to make it better they increased the length of the school
 
Extra thicc. I don't know why I get this fascination for them but I blame goldeneye.

Now I everytime I see thighs I make fun of them. Always big and chunky everytime I see them.

To be fair said legs need to carry the entire weight of both themself and their kit, the arms need only carry their weapon and maybe a bit of their stuff.

She feels a Great Disturbance in the Force. As if a 1,000 Boat Guys suddenly looked in her direction with sneaky grins. :p :devilish:

Clearly, we must conduct experiments. I volunteer as a test subject. I know that I am risking a great deal, but science needs me!

I did consult the internet out of curiosity. Doesn't really work not that it stops women doing it having sex.

It leaves me with another question if GoldenEye went AO rated. It might be believeable to get a neck snap with thighs wrapped around the head while doing oral. A crushed skull? I dunno.
