Trailblazing female Marine is getting kicked out for fraternization.

[Lummy]

Remedios Cruz joined the Marine Corps in 2013 as a supply clerk. One year later, she completed infantry training, and in 2017, made history when she became one of three females to join 1st Battalion, 8th Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Now, Cruz is awaiting separation from the Marine Corps after pleading guilty to maintaining a romantic relationship with a subordinate.

Cruz, 26, eventually married the person, who was a lower-ranking Marine in her unit, according The New York Times.

“The biggest mistakes I’ve made in the infantry were from my personal relationships,” Cruz told the Times. “I really want to move on.”

Cruz was reduced in rank from sergeant to corporal and restricted to the base after pleading guilty to fraternization as part of a broader plea agreement. The commanding general of 2nd Marine Division will now decide if she will be forced out with an other-than-honorable discharge, according to the Times.

Definitely more to this story than meets the eye, ya think? If not for quick-witted attorneys making wrongs right again, this would sound like a best selling book just waiting to be written.

I guess we'll see about that.

Yeah, this can happen when you mix men and women. Especially considering both the men and the women in the military both have higher testosterone and lower inhibition than the general public on average.
