1#🧵 — “#Marines continue to make female #infantry officers, with little fanfare” — story by @MarineTimes reporter @HopeSeck
I’m copying & pasting Hope Hodge Seck’s story in this thread🧵. #USMC #MarineCorps #WomenMarines #military #MilitaryWomen #trailblazersmarinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…

2#🧵“Marine 1st Lt. Marina Hierl made national headlines in 2017 when she became the first woman to graduate the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course in Quantico, Virginia, earning the 0302 Infantry Officer military occupational specialty in the process.

Not only was Hierl the first woman in an MOS that had been restricted to men just 2 years earlier; she had also made it through the grueling 13 weeks of IOC, a feat of physicality and endurance that many previously thought was beyond the capability of women.

But since then, even without the press releases and news profiles, women have continued to graduate from IOC in small, but consistent, numbers.

According to data from the last 4 years provided to Marine Corps Times, women are now making it through the course with a success rate of better than 50%, though the number of volunteers opting to attend IOC remains low. The course attrition and redesignation rate for male officers, meanwhile, has at times been as high as 25%.” #USMC #MarineCorps #WomenMarines #military #MilitaryWomen #trailblazers

#3🧵 “The following are the outcomes for women at IOC since 2020, according to data provided by Marine Corps Training and Education Command spokesman Capt. Jacoby Getty.

•In fiscal 2020, 2 women attended the course; both did not pass and were redesignated to another MOS.
•In fiscal 2021, 5 women attended IOC. 4 graduated, for a pass rate of 80%. 3 received an 0302 infantry officer MOS and 1 opted to train as a ground intelligence officer.
•In fiscal 2022, 7 women attended IOC. 4 graduated, for a pass rate of 57%. 3 received the 0302 MOS and 2 went on to train as ground intelligence officers.
•In fiscal 2023, 7 women attended IOC. 4 graduated, for a pass rate of 57%. All took the 0302 MOS.
•In fiscal 2024, 8 women attended IOC; 5 achieved the infantry officer MOS, for a pass rate of 63%.

As of the end of the fiscal year, Getty said, 12 female 0302 infantry officers are currently serving.

Prior to Hierl’s graduation, 36 female officers had attempted the IOC course over 5 years, only to wash out through injury or inability to complete requirements or meet standards.

The Marines opened the course to women on an experimental basis in 2012, 4 years before a decision by then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter opened ground combat specialties to women, allowing female officers to actually hold an infantry MOS.

In 2014, 2nd Lt. Sage Santangelo wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post explaining her experience of dropping out during the infamous Combat Endurance Test on Day 1 of the course.

“There came a point when I could not persuade my body to perform,” she wrote. “It wasn’t a matter of will but of pure physical strength.” ” #USMC #MarineCorps #WomenMarines #military #MilitaryWomen #trailblazers

LEGISLATION CALLS FOR IMPROVED MENTAL HEALTH CARE, OUTREACH FOR WOMEN #VETERANS #suicide #SuicidePrevention #WomenVets #WomenVeterans #healthcare #MentalHealth via @DAVHQdav.org/learn-more/new…

The legislation introduced by #Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee (@SVACDems) Chairman @SenatorTester calls for the following:
•A study on the effectiveness of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) #suicideprevention & #mentalhealth outreach programs for women #veterans
•A modification of VA’s algorithm used to predict high-risk for #suicide among veterans to incorporate risk factors weighted for #womenveterans, such as #military sexual #trauma @senate
•A review & report on reintegration & readjustment services for veterans & family members in group retreat settings

“It comes on the heels of @DAVHQ’s special report, Women Veterans: The Journey to Mental Wellness, & includes provisions based on several of #DAV’s recommendations.”

“Data released by VA last year showed there was a nearly 25% increase in suicide among women veterans between 2020 & 2021. Women Veterans: The Journey to Mental #Wellness is one of most comprehensive assessments of the unique factors contributing to the staggering rates of suicide among women veterans & how the system charged with their mental #healthcare can & must do better.” #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma

Here’s a quick glance of the key findings from the Disabled American Veterans’ 3rd landmark study:

Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland responsd to the Defendant’s Motion to Compel Deponent’s to Answer. He believes #RichardAllen’s defense attorneys are asking the court to compel “privileged information” that is “work product or pertains to communication between the State & 1 of their witnesses, or it is not relevant.” #Delphi #DelphiMurders #AllEyesOnDelphi👇#2

STATE’S OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR JURY TO VIEW SCENE — Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland objects to the jury being transported to view the Freedom Bridge, the Monon High Bridge, the site where the victims’ bodies were located & the site of the Old CPS building.

#RichardAllen’s defense attorneys filed the motion to view the scene earlier this week. Yesterday Judge Gull released an order saying she was taking the motion under advisement. #Delphi #DelphiMurders #AllEyesOnDelphi👇#3

A RECENT STUDY BY THE JOURNAL OF CLINICAL #PSYCHIATRY REVEALED FEMALE #VETERANS WITH #PTSD ARE 67% MORE LIKELY THAN MALE VETERANS TO RECEIVE #MEDICATIONS NOT ON THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENT LIST. … #research #MentalHealth #WomenVets via @PsychiatristCNS 🧵1psychiatrist.com/news/women-vet

“THE FINDINGS REVEAL A SIGNIFICANT AND UNEXPECTED GAP IN THE TREATMENT OF #MENTALHEALTH ISSUES BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN IN THE #MILITARY.

EXPLORING THE DISCREPANCIES — TO UNDERSTAND PRESCRIBING PATTERNS FOR #PTSD MORE COMPLETELY, @VETERANSHEALTH ADMINISTRATION (VA) RESEARCHERS EXAMINED 1 YEAR’S WORTH OF PRESCRIBING PATTERNS FROM THE @DEPTVETAFFAIRS #DATA, LOOKING AT THE RECORDS OF OVER 800,000 #VETERANS NO LONGER ON ACTIVE DUTY, 12% OF WHICH WERE WOMEN.

“IN 2019, 15.8% OF WOMEN VETERANS WITH PTSD WERE PRESCRIBED #BENZODIAZEPINES COMPARED TO ONLY 10.9% OF MEN VETERANS WITH PTSD, DESPITE GUIDELINES RECOMMENDING AGAINST THEIR USE DUE TO BOTH LACK OF EVIDENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS IN TREATING PTSD AND THE RISKS OUTWEIGHING THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS,” THE VA RESEARCHERS WROTE IN THEIR PAPER.” 🧵2

“THE DISCREPANCY REMAINED EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING FOR VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING A #BIPOLAR DISORDER DIAGNOSIS, AGE, AND PREVIOUS #PSYCHIATRIC #MEDICATION USAGE, THEY ADDED.

FACTORS INFLUENCING #PRESCRIPTIONS — THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS FOR THE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OF #GENDER ON A PROVIDER’S PRESCRIBING DECISIONS.

#HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS CAN MISINTERPRET WOMEN’S #PTSD SYMPTOMS. WOMEN DON’T ALWAYS EXPERIENCE PTSD THE SAME WAY MEN DO.

ADDITIONALLY, THE WOMEN IN THE STUDY TENDED TO BE YOUNGER AND WERE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A BIPOLAR DISORDER DIAGNOSIS. THEY WERE ALSO MORE LIKELY TO HAVE MULTIPLE #MENTALHEALTH ISSUES COMPARED TO THE MEN.” 🧵3
