[BREITBART] No one who knows anything about the military in general and the Marines in particular ever believed that story. 26 or 27 isn't too old to enlist in any service. By 1975 they had done away with the WACs and the Women Marines (They were called BAMs -- "Broad-assed Marines" in certain circles) so they wouldn't "reject" you because you were a woman. I knew a dozen or so just casually, all of them top notch people. If she was "rejected" it would have been for her eyesight, but I suspect the real reason the recruiter told her to go away was because of her snotty attitude.
