Wow. I had an epiphany when I read this article from Marine Times. Read it all but its all making sense when taking all together. First the Washington Times comes out with a story on Sunday about Women in Combat. Then earlier today we get word that 4 service women are suing to drop the prohibition on women in combat...and now we have the story stating that women will now perform pull ups. Check out this portion.
NOTE: Spare me the women's rights activist bullshit, the liberal drumbeat and the peacenik nonsense. Head over to USNI Blog to find fellow travelers in that belief system. Today I'm more than likely to cuss you and then pray to all that's holy that you live nearby so I can setup a meeting. The pussification of America's military is almost complete.
NOTE 1: Are you people kidding me? Do you really think that 3 pullups is considered satisfactory? Find me a Male Marine in the Infantry that is only doing 3 pulllups and I'll show you a Marine whose life is hell. He will be hating life, he'll never get promoted until he improves and he won't be able to keep up. Some of you are so lost you can't see straight....your lack of experience with anything military is stunning.
But come 2014, women will be required to do at least three pull-ups to pass the PFT, with eight needed for a perfect score on that portion of the test.Men must do three pull-ups to pass the test, with 20 required for a perfect score.The flexed-arm hang will remain a part of the Corps’ Initial Strength Test for all female enlisted recruits and as part of the initial PFT required for female officer candidates, according to Amos’ message. However, starting in 2014, pull-ups will be a graduation requirement for boot camp and Officer Candidates School.This is all to lay the ground work for a decision that has already been made. Women will be allowed in combat. Standards will be lowered or ignored. I'm speechless.
