When I was teaching recruits for a daily job, I had the third platoon that was to have females integrated into the infantry in Canadaicon. The first two had been failures and they were going to start the trials over again with my training platoon. Then the trials were abruptly ended and I was told that it was straight ahead and they are integrated. None of the 11 females to the 22 males completed the course however, that was 1987 or thereabouts. There have been lots of them come and go in my regiment since and I sure had my share again in the reserves after. I've seen them in all jobs and positions and every trade. I no longer question any of it because it would simply prove to the youngers that I'm stuck in a wheel rut of age or time and can't accept new things. Besides, a female infantry NCO saved the life of a good friend of mine in Afghanistan when a Taliban fighter was about to shoot him from behind. She shot the Taliban through the head from a few feet away without hesitation... They're in to stay and I have to accept that they're in all roles and ranks and positions.
