Female Marine charges obstacle course with sexual harassment

Filed · 1546

The Marine, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims the O-course behaved in an inappropriate manner during a unit physical training session.

Soon after the female Marine's meritorious promotion to Corporal, her Battalion commander released a statement.
