Enough about the "Brothers" How about the "Sisters"??? - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

Sgt2841 · 07-03-06, 03:18 AM

I've only just signed on with this organization, but already I've noticed that not only are the pictures in advertisement only of male Marines, but you
constantly refer to the "brotherhood" and the "band of brothers", etc.
Well, I've gotta ask...........WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN MARINES? Do you view us as less of a Marine? We earned our Eagle Globe and Anchor, too. Do we not serve right beside you? We deserve to also be recognized by all as United States Marines.

Welcome to Leatherneck my Sister Marine...!!! I think that you will find things different than what you have seen on the surface. We all value eachother here as Marines. Take a look around the forums, I realize that you are new here. Look at any topic in the forums you will see that WMs are very active in here. I wish that more Sisters would join and be more active. I think once you are on for a while you will see. There is jennifer, Marine84, His_angel, CAS3. Jennifer is a newly appointed Corporal sationed in Mira Mar.

Welcome, Marine Sister!! You make a valid point. Of which I'm sure "Mr. Shaffer will address, or you may want to send him a PM. Just click on his name, go to "view public profile", and it says, "send a private message." This way it'll get right to him, and he's a good Person and Marine, who owns the site. He will take all under consideration. We, or at least I do, back you about this. Don't worry, none of our Marine Sister's are ever forgotten from us Marine Men, K? SF.

IMHO "brotherhood" is a genderless phrase when used in context of our fellow Marines.

if you want me to bend over to be PC and say brother and sisterhood, then im sorry your barking up the wrong tree. So get the wrinkles out of your uniform and remember that we are all family

on another note,
Welcome to the site

Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Marine Corps...
As a former WM, I take no offence as I am part of the brotherhood. It is not gender specific, neither is the USMC or this site.
Welcome and please look around for awhile. You may like what you see.

Welcome & Semper fi
I've only been on Leatherneck.com a very short period of time, but have not found it bias at all. (Just assumed I was part of the 'brotherhood) At the same time the forums and chats are ALL Different. Some rock your boat and some do not.
Enjoy being part of something so honorable that all of us earned!

Sgt2841 · 07-05-06, 01:00 AM

I didn't think my comment would stir up such a response. But gimme a break....as far as I can tell, my unit no longer exists, my MOS no longer exists, and no one has even heard of either one. Kinda makes you feel forgotten a bit, wouldn't you say?
Thank you all, tho, for each comment as its great to finally end up some place where the people respond so you know there really is someone there.
P.S. my initial comment was meant to be mostly tongue-in-cheek

Sgt2841,
I emphathize with you. My first--and best--outfit, the 9th Marines, was deactivated. Guess someone didn't like the No. 9.
It was a helluva outfit when I was in. Later on, too, from what I've read.
