Can females participate at all with Marine Corps Honor Guard? I know we can't do SDP (Silent Drill Platoon), but are we just not allowed to do anything at all? I trained with some members of USAF Presidential Ceremonial Guardsmen over the summer and fell in love with it, so I was just wondering!

There are restrictions for Marine Barracks DC because they are all 03's and you know that's restricted to men. However, you can volunteer for honor details at your permanent duty station. There are no (or shouldn't be any) gender restrictions for color guard or any other ceremonial detail.
No, no restrictions. I've seen a couple in my short Marine Corps career.

I once did a color guard with a female as one of the riflemen.
