David Berger told senators that the first company\u2019s integration \u201cwent great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commandant had said the Corps would have another look at the gender integration and perhaps do another, \u201cnext year\u201d in 2020. Delta and Hotel Companies will have started training in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berger suggested in May that the Marine Corps would be ready to integrate future companies for the sake of efficiency, especially during winter months when recruit training company sizes dwindle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCombined training may continue to be conducted based on logistical and operational requirements,\u201d an information paper from the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service briefing in September said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brig. Gen. James Glynn, commander of the depot at Parris Island, South Carolina, wasn\u2019t sure if the first gender-integration experiment would ever take place again, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe jury is still out on that,\u201d Glynn told AP. \u201cAs conditions permit in the future, we could pursue it.\u201d But, he also said, \u201cNo one looked at this and said we don\u2019t want to do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps contends that Marines train by platoons and has been hesitant about changing that model, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur drill instructors stay with their recruits 24 hours a day, seven days a week the entire time they are there,\u201d former Commandant Gen. Robert <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/05\/03\/top-marine-no-more-gender-integration-changes-at-boot-camp-on-horizon\/\">Neller <\/a>told reporters at a televised Pentagon briefing in May 2018. \u201cSo I am not considering having men and women live together in an open squad bay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McDonnell told Marine Corps Times earlier in 2019 that in addition to how many recruits are shipped, the Corps also will consider facility availability and training personnel availability when determining which companies to integrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur mission is to make Marines, and our focus remains on transforming men and women who have chosen to serve their country into United States Marines,\u201d McDonnell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Overseas operations reporter Shawn Snow contributed to this report.
