Good. 8 or so years ago, A female running a 18 minute 2 mile, 10 pushups, 20 situps earns more promotion points than a male running a 13:30 two mile, 70 pushups, 70 situps. I always thought it was bullshite because it directly affects promotion up to E6

It’s silly enough as it is that we even let women in the military to begin with. But to give them lower standards is just ridiculous.

This is great.
Women shouldn't be in combat roles, this adjustment will make sure only the burliest ladies, the most competent ladies even get the chance- and having earned the combat role, will be less of a drag on their male counterparts than they were before.
Won't completely eliminate the drag, but will certainly greatly reduce it.

Common sense leadership. It is about damn time.

Well, at least we know what Boasberg will be doing with his day.

This should never have been a question and or implemented.
Soldiers lives are on the line and that should be the ultimate price you pay if you place unfit “people” in roles they just aren’t physically built for.
I’ve seen Tulsi on film doing her thing and while seemingly a “badass” for a woman, she would place in the bottom 5-10% of men if she went head to head in a live field training session.
Support roles and intelligence I’m fine with, but people need to know they can trust who has their 6 at all times without hesitation in the field.

Let the screaming, crying and gnashing of teeth begin!

Milley tried to make a PT test with the same standards and it failed. Well, the women failed. Maybe this will stop these women going to ranger school and selection and getting endless recycles.

Watched some videos on this. I'm not sure any of those ranger tabs are legit. There was special treatment the whole way and log books are missing. It's pretty shady.

Women simply don’t have the upper body strength and endurance to help the Marine grunt on the ground when the shite hits the fan after days on patrol or recon.
Support roles in the rear with the gear, fine, but combat action no way they can physically have my six. It’s not possible by any objective standards.

I have no problem with females in the military, just not in combat., which is what the OP is about.
Equal fitness standards for bith sexes in combat roles.

The problems that come with a mixed gender military actually have very little to do with the physical limitations of females.

Why not equal fitness standards for both sexes in non-combat roles?
