Welp, not to say I told you so, but I told you so.
The worst part is, you know that the first 30 were more or less hand picked because the powers that be wanted a good showing. Here we are though... 0/30 now, and #31 is nowhere to be found.
“At this time, there are no female officers enrolled or slated to attend IOC,” Capt. Joshua Pena, a spokesman for Training and Education Command, said.
TECOM is not identifying the woman, who has been given a new military occupational specialty, Pena told Marine Corps Times.
The woman began the 84-day course on July 6 and failed to complete two conditioning hikes on July 18, Pena said. Marines trying to complete the course may not fall out of more than one hike during the entire course.

A female lieutenant attempting the Infantry Officer Course in 2013 hangs during the obstacle course portion of the initial Combat Endurance Test at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va.
A female Marine officer who was dropped from the Infantry Officer Course in April has failed the course on her second try.

MARINE CORPS TIMES
The 30th woman to attempt the Marines' Infantry Officer Course has been dropped
She and 33 male officers, out of an initial class of 97 Marines, have failed to complete the course so far, Pena said. That class is slated to finish the course on Sept. 20.
The woman was dropped during her first attempt to get through IOC class on April 21 after 11 training days. At the time, she was the 30th woman to give it a try. Military.com first reported on Friday that she had failed the course again.
Like the other services, the Marine Corps has opened all jobs to women, but service leaders initially asked that some combat jobs remain restricted to men only. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter ultimately overruled the service.
I keep hearing them say they won't lower the requirements, but they will. Sooner or later, after enough people bitch about it, they will.
