A group of 60 women have become the first female recruits to go through Marine boot camp alongside men at a 100-year-old training area in San Diego.

With every grueling day, every physically punishing drill and every emotionally exhausting challenge, a group of female recruits is making history as they train to be U.S. Marines at boot camp in Southern California.

"I just put forth double or quadruple the amount of effort that I see my male counterparts can bring to the table," recruit Aniya Allen, 18, told Fitzgerald."Ever since then, I've been rewarded for my hard work for it." "The question has been asked before — why did it take so long?'" Col. Matt Palma, recruit training regiment commanding officer, said on TODAY."Why is it happening now after 100 years? Well, I think the conditions are exactly right for it right now."

The Marines believe the change will produce advantages on the battlefield, according to Lt. Col. Anthony Bariletti, the commanding officer of the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion.
