Default USMC questions

What are acceptable MOS's for Female soldiers in the Marine Corps before the twilight war?

Also I assume during the war all Mos's would be acceptable for women.

I the Corps, everyone get's basic Infantry training... only direct combat MOSs have been denied to women so far. With the T2k setting, all of the MOS have been opened up.

Nate is correct. By the 1988 to 1998 time frame, the only MOS closed to Women were ground combat arms positions; 0300 Infantry, 0800 Artillery, 1800 Tank and Amtrack crew, and Combat Engineer positions (cant remember the MOS code) though all other Engineer positions were open.
I remember some of the Women I served with after I became an instructor (did it to me when I was asleep LOL), told me they went Motor Transport or EOD because it was the closest they could get to the Infantry.

The Basic Rifleman training is called MCT (Marine Combat Training), 4 weeks, and just up the road from the School of Infantry...at least at Camp Pendleton. Short humps compared to what came later but lots of good Infantry stuff, and almost the entire time in the field.

Do you folks out there think that USMC combat MOS's would be opened up to women by 2000 (in the T2KU)? I can at least see women as AFV crewmen. I'm working on a project involving a Marine infantry battalion in the summer of 2000 and I wonder how prominently female Marines should be portrayed.

What are the real world reasons why they aren't now? Are they stated?

It's not stated, but the word you're looking for is chauvinism.
