Could be... I get these from time to time from where I work.
As far as a woman marine not being able to carry her own weight-- Well, I have to say that my wife's Aunt, now a retired GySgt... could easily kick MY ass, as well as most all of the people I know... Could have a mouth as foul as anyone-- and yet be the nicest person...
When I had to help my mother in law move, and the U-haul center screwed up majorly, and tried to rip her off (she prepaid for a trailer via the phone, and then when I went to pick it up...) Because she was a woman, they played some games with her on the phone... BOY-- you talk about an about face when she drove down to the U-haul center and ripped those guys a new one... I was blushing, and ducking for cover!! LOL.
