A great counter point and fine article by another Marine Officer, veteran......While women officers promote at rates equal to or just ahead of their male colleagues at the ranks of major through colonel, promotions of women into the general officer ranks fall off significantly. The Military Leadership Diversity Commission cited two main reasons for this: the exclusion of women from combat arms, and a higher turnover rate than their male counterparts. So while Serrano would have her colleagues believe that “success is about performance, not MOS,” the fact is, not all leadership opportunities are created equal.
