The Marine Corps is closing the doors on its only single-sex training battalion focusing on female Marines as the service joins the other military branches that have male and female recruits training together.
On June 15, the 4th Recruit Training Battalion will be deactivated in a ceremony at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in South Carolina. Gen. David H. Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, said it will be a moment to honor the legacy of the battalion responsible for the initial training of all female enlisted Marines since 1986.
