    So, gender doesn’t matter, correct? Where are they stationed (the front lines, ect.)? What kinds of stories do they write – such as obituaries, or battlefield news stories? Do you have to attend bootcamp first and become a fully-functional Marine? What school do they attend – or are they given options? How long do they attend? If they are in the field, do they have tours like enlisted Marines? Meaning, do they serve for periods of time before being allowed to come home? Or are they there longer?
