My buddy was a san Diego Marine. He said they couldn't even look in the direction of the female trainees without getting yelled at. But that was like 20 years ago, maybe times have changed.
Yeh, we east coast Marines like to jab at the Hollywood Marines.. But yes we were told not to look at them and to imagine a bulldog eating mayonnaise! Sorry not PC but has stuck with me ;)
Man, we couldn't even acknowledge FM's existing on PI back in '88. Wasn't until I got to Camp LeJeune for PFR School that I actually saw one up-close.... 🤣
Back in '94 at PI, we saw them at Nav/maps, so week 11 or 12 I think? Never saw them at MCT for the 4 weeks at LeJeune/Gieger. Can confirm, though- there was ZERO interaction with the WMs during boot, on punishment of pushing sand and Hello Dollies for half an hour.

I never saw this in my time, also you are never in contact with women! Maybe you were a San Diego Marine ;)
