WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. Marine Corps has unveiled new physical standards that all recruits -- male and female -- must meet to qualify for 29 of the branch's jobs.
The new gender-neutral standards could make it a lot harder for boot camp recruits and Officer Candidates to obtrain certain positions, according to the Marine Corps Times. These fields include infantry, combat engineering, tanks and amphibious assault vehicles, close-air support, and ground ordnance.
