Female Marine Officer Fired After Holding Female Recruits To Equal Standards

By: Laura Meyers

The recently fired former commanding officer, Lt. Col. Kate Germano, of 4th Recruit Training Battalion at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, was found to be “hostile, unprofessional and abusive,” when she held female marine recruits to the same performance standards as their male counterparts.

Military Times reports:

The command investigation, completed June 25 and obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, states that Germano displayed “toxic leadership” by publicly berating and showing contempt for subordinates, bullying Marines and singling them out for under-performance.

On one occasion, the investigation found, she made comments during a sexual assault prevention brief that female Marines interpreted as victim-blaming, leading some to testify that it would make them feel less comfortable reporting a sexual assault within the command.

Germano also “reinforced gender bias and stereotypes” in the minds of her Marines by telling them on several occasions that male Marines would not take orders from them and would see them as inferior if they could not meet men’s physical standards, the investigation found.

The cammies and ballerina bun were all fun and games until someone expected you to do three pull-ups, huh? You’re Marines, ladies. You better be ready to be treated as such.

Shortly after she was relieved of her duties, Germano wrote a letter to the 4th Recruit Training Battalion, saying, “Despite considerable active and passive resistance throughout all echelons of the Recruit Depot and the Marine Corps, we each worked incredibly hard to improve the performance of our recruits to make them stronger, faster, smarter, and better shots — all to better the institution,” she wrote. “We achieved unprecedented and historic results in just a short period of time, and regardless of the controversy cause by our goal to improve the caliber of our graduates, I ask that you remain steadfast and committed to this objective.”

A fellow female officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, was stationed at Parris Island with Germano and praises Germano’s leadership abilities.

She told Military Times, “What she did when she came is she changed the mentality of the Marines in the battalion and the recruits to not expect a historically lower performance than the male recruits at the battalion. Almost all the categories performed better during her tenure, just by challenging the training protocol of performing separately.”

I don’t want to see anyone in combat, but if necessary, I’d love to see women in the front lines fighting with the guys. Hell, give them some makeup and a v-neck so terrorists know that not only were they killed by a woman, but they were taken down by a hot American badass.

But ladies, if you can’t carry your brothers off the battlefield and shoot like the boys, then don’t complain when an officer throws a little equality in your face.
