The Female Marine Instructor
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:50 am
Entering a classroom at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station,) Yuma, a female
Marine Captain encountered a clearly apathetic audience. She was
selected to provide a full hour's instruction on Iraqi electronic warfare
capabilities to 150 Marine aviators who showed by their body language
deep skepticism about her ability to teach war fighting skills to an
all-male class.
She began by noting that her voice had just been tested to see if it was
suitable for some new cockpit recorder messages for Marine aircraft. She
said that unfortunately she had not been selected to be the new "Bitching
Betty." However, she said it was only fair to warn the audience the
reason given for her non-selection was that an analysis of her voice
pattern revealed that her particular voice had a tendency to lull to
sleep any male homosexual within earshot.
The assembled officers shot upright in their chairs. 150 pairs of eyes
were wide open and locked on her and stayed that way for the rest of the
period.
