Pros of women in a Combat MOS?
I would like to hear from people who served in a Combat MOS, or worked closely with them.
I just want to know what other people thought of women in Combat MOS's and what Pros they come up with.

i know ill get thums down for this, but ...none.
I am 0311 and i see no pros of iwomen in infantry.
For the most part, a women does not have the physical capabilities of a man. They normally cant carry as much, cant yell as loud, etc..
Im a lightweight in the corp at 130lb, plus another 40lb of gear. how many women do u know are able to lift and carry almost 200lb to saftey? and im a lightweight. take into consideration people who are almost 200 before gear. Firefights get loud and ur hearing drops. Most women just cannot sound off loud enough to be heard over a firefight. They have more hygene requirements then men, adding extra strain to resources in a several month field op. Then you have the emotional baggage that comes with it. What if one of the guys falls for her? **** can get really bad real fast.
im not sexist, and i welcome women to serve in the military as much as they can. Hell, i even toss around the idea wit my wife about her joining. But when i comes to infantry, id say 99% of women couldnt pass the bar.
