Hey,

Could anyone give me a reference as to where I could find the terms listed as to why women are not allowed to serve in the infantry or armoured corps please?

Thanks

Why do you ask?

What do you mean? Are you looking for chapter and verse on why they can't?

Some foreign armed forces allow women to serve in combat roles, and there have been plenty of studies on the subject, with some rather mixed but generally predictable findings.

I'll give you a reference. Lighthouse @ GR 23456987, mag bearing 0070' 1500m - this shall be known as axis.

Also, as my OC says, "If you don't have a dinky then you shouldn't be doing f*cking mans work split!" The man has a point.

I am doing a report/brief/debate on the subject. Out of interest do you know which nations do allow women in a 'front' line role?

Denmark for a start, but look here for more:

Canada is another that has all trades open to females. First woman to be in an Infantry unit was in 1989. Here's a link for more detail... http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/cd...nmilitary.html

A dinky? How old is your OC, 9?

Is there are particular part of the British Forces that gives reasons why an infantry or armoured corps is not available to women?

How this is exempt from equal opportunities etc?

Thanks for those links they are really useful
