 Nearly six months after the Pentagon opened all military combat roles to women, the Marine Corps has totally folded to progressive, political correctness and done away with the term ‘MAN’ from 19 job titles.
The Marines in the next few days will announce gender-neutral name changes to 19 roles — a move ordered by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, the Marine Corps Times first reported.
The word "man" will be replaced with "Marine."
"Names that were not changed, like rifleman, are steeped in Marine Corps history and ethos," the official told the publication. "Things that were changed needed to be updated to align with other MOS names."
In most cases, the word "man" will be replaced by Marine. Those changes are as follows:
Basic infantry Marine.Â
Riverine assault craft Marine.
Light-armor vehicle Marine.
Reconnaissance Marine (to include three other recon-related jobs that include the word "man").Â
Infantry assault Marine.
Basic field artillery Marine.
Field artillery fire control Marine.
Field artillery sensor support Marine.
Fire support Marine.Â
Basic engineer, construction and equipment Marine.
Basic tank and assault amphibious vehicle Marine.Â
Armor Marine.Â
Amphibious assault vehicle Marine.
Amphibious combat vehicle Marine.Â
