>> HE THINKS THE CDC HAS GOOD INTENTIONS, FULLY VACCINATED PEOPLE CAN UNMASK INDOORS AND OUT BASICALLY HITTING HOME THAT THEY INCENTIVIZE THE USE.

HE NOTICED THE CONFUSION THAT RESULTED IN HIS GLAD TO SEE THAT A ZERO INCLUDES PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND SCHOOLS.

>> I HOPE IT DECREASES A BIT OF THE CONFUSION AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING IRRITATED WITH THINGS GOING ONE WAY AND THEN ANOTHER.

>> THEY ARE TARGETING JUNE 15th AND OUR SURGEONS WILL BE LISTED FOR THOSE VACCINATED TO GO.

>> WE HAVE TO HAVE A CRITICAL AMOUNT OF THE POPULATION TO BE VACCINATED SO THAT WE CAN ALL BE SAFE AND SO THAT THOSE WHO CANNOT GET VACCINATED ARE PROTECTED.

>> AND EFFECTS THIS AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST WHO SAYS IT'S ODD, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE KNOW HOW MUCH EASIER COVID-19 SPREADS INDOOR VERSUS OUTDOORS.

THE BORDER PATROL TOOK CUSTODY AFTER THEY BROUGHT THEM ASHORE AND IT WILL BE TAKEN TO A NEARBY STATION TO BE PROCESSED ACCORDINGLY.

>> DUE TO THE INCREASE IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE HERE IN SAN DIEGO SECTOR SPECIFICALLY IT HAS CAUSE THE SMUGGLING ORGANIZATIONS TO ATTEMPT MORE DANGEROUS SMUGGLING ATTEMPTS.

KPBS METRO REPORTER HAS MOURN WHY THAT IS CONTROVERSIAL.

IF A NEW APARTMENT BUILDING IS IN AN AREA CLOSE TO JOBS AND PUBLIC TRANSFER, FEASIBILITY OR OR NONEXISTENT BUT IF IT'S IN A RURAL OR CAR DEPENDENT SUBURBAN AREA, FEASIBLY HIGHER.

SUPERVISOR JOELLE ANDERSON SAYS THAT WOULD MAKE NEW HOUSING IN HIS EAST COUNTY DISTRICT PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE.

>> THE WOMAN FELT ACCEPTED BY THE FELLOW MALE RECRUITS IN SAN DIEGO.

SHE WILL SOON BE HEADED TO AN EVEN MORE MALE-DOMINATED ENVIRONMENT, ALL THE MORE REASON SHE SAYS TO INTEGRATE MARINES BEFORE THEY GRADUATE OUT OF BOOT CAMP.

>> I THINK GETTING US EXPOSED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH EACH OTHER WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.

ANOTHER REASON WHY THINK PUTTING FEMALES IN SAN DIEGO IS A GOOD START AS WELL BECAUSE THE MALES THAT TRAIN HERE ON THE WEST COAST, DON'T HAVE ANY EXPOSURES TO WORKING WITH FEMALES.

>> IN 2020, CONGRESSWOMAN OF CALIFORNIA PUT A PROVISION IN THE DEFENSE BILL REQUIRING MARINES TO INTEGRATE BOOT CAMP IN TYLER ALINA BY 2025 AND INTEGRATE SAN DIEGO BY 2028.

>> MATTHEW IS IN CHARGE OF TRAINING IN SAN DIEGO HE MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS FROM THIS FIRST CLASS OF WOMEN THE STANDARDS ARE THE SAME AS IT WOULD BE FOR THE MEN STILL THE MARINES ARE DRAWING THE LINE THAT ENDING GENDER SEGREGATION ENTIRELY.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT OUR INDOCTRINATION PROCESS THAT'S UNIQUE TO US AND I DO THINK IT'S THE VALUE OF THE SQUAD KEEPING IT THE WAY IT IS, WILL KIND OF BE OUR POSITION.

>> KEEPING THE SQUAD BAY THE WAY IT IS MEANS FEMALE ONLY PLATOONS AND DESPITE THE SUCCESS FEMALE RECRUITS ARE ON HOLD IN SAN DIEGO.

THE MARINE CORPS MUST FULLY INTEGRATE BY 2028 BY SENIOR DRILL INSTRUCTOR DOES NOT WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG.

>> YOU SEE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO BREAK AWAY FROM TRADITION BUT, THIS IS NOT BREAKING AWAY FROM TRADITION, IT'S JUST REINTRODUCING SOMETHING TO TRADITION.
