[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 400497, member: 198"] You're certainly entitled to you opinion and interpretation of the data as it relates to this situation. I do disagree with you though. I don't find reverting back to the original intent of the CET to be adopting the "everyone gets a trophy" strategy. From the early 1990's until 2012 the CET was a benchmark evaluation used to gauge the readiness of the officers to handle the program. After 20 years of opening the IOC with the CET, it was changed to a pass/fail test in 2012. after 5 years evaluation, the USMC decided to go back to the way they always did it. So, looking at the numbers, 80% of the time it was an evaluative tool, 20% of the time it was a pass/fail criterion. By the USMC deciding that the way they did it for 80% of the time is not adopting the "everyone gets a trophy" approach. Yeah, there are better trees to bark up than this one. I think it's disrespectful to immediately jump to the conclusion that the Brass within the USMC is modifying the program to assist women. I look at it like the "drownproofing" class Tech used to require, and the reason it is no longer required. It isn't a necessary "pass" to show competency for the job. By the way, I hate participation trophies, so for that, we're on the same page. [/QUOTE]
