Opis

In the amount of time needed to take a breath, two lives would be changed forever. 2 Seconds is based on actual events that took place between two Marines, one male and one female, and questions whether the standards demanded by the Marine Corps are the same for both sexes, in training and in the fleet. In one of the most heated altercations ever seen in the coveted program at The Ohio State MECEP Program- mind games were played, weapons fired and standards overlooked, until finally, one officer would turn this game of chess into her board. The ruler of this game wasn't the King... But the Queen. Two Sergeants and Two Standards takes you through the halls of Parris Island, a deployment to Kuwait, and a year-long tour in Okinawa, showing the sacrifices a service member, along with their spouse, go through. You'll see that each road traveled in the Marines is different. The question I ask; is everyone treated equally? Is their truly ONE STANDARD?
