Fact or Fiction on this one, but at least tradition holds that the Marine Corps has always mandated weapons training as part of its training program for Women Marines or as they were once derisively called,BAMS. The prescribed regulations about what constitutes qualification may have been altered over time, but certainly a basic knowledge of individual and crew served weapons is and will remain a part of being a Marine.
Enlisted Women Marines were not required to qualify with the service rifle until 1985. They had previously received familiarization training on weapons but did not qualify and therefore did not rate marksmanship badges. The course of fire that makes up the USMC qualification course has changed over the years. However, either you fire it and get enough points to qualify or you don't. There is and never has been any gray area about what constitutes qualification.

Prior to 1967/68, the M16 was the US Army's "jungle rifle" and used specifically in South Vietnam. There was no qualification back then, the M14 was the standard US rifle. Prior to men shipping out for Vietnam up thru 1970, they "FAM Fired" (Familiarization firing) of the M16 jungle rifle. They QUALIFIED on the M14 service rifle. After Vietnam, the US Military (Army & Marines) adapted the M16 jungle rifle as the new standard SERVICE RIFLE in about 1970/73; replacing the M14 rifle. US Military personnel have to qualify on any "Standard" weapon that the military uses. It's part of their JOB to know how to safely use it. Qualification means exactly what it says; Qualified to use the weapon. It a person cannot qualify, then they cannot qualify to be in the military...because then, they are NOT qualified to do their job.
