I watched a Korean show where a group of pretty young actresses, singers and dancers tried to do a Korean army obstacle course. It was entertaining.

Why would you want to be in the military if you cant run a 10 min mile consistently?
Most MACOMs require you to be able to run 4 miles in 36 minutes regardless of age or sex.

The most difficult event for both male and female soldiers is the two-mile run, with 5% and 22% failing, respectively. The run must be completed within 21 minutes.
This is so pathetic. We have a bunch of fat asses in the military. This is so weak.
This can't be for all armed forces, right? I had a friend that went through basic training for the marines and he said they had to complete 3 miles in 19 minutes. Now that seems like the right kind of shape to be in for our military.

Why don't they factor in women's strong suits such as sandwich making and over-emotional responses?

I wonder what the fail rate would be for the current US population? 10 min miles is an easily achievable goal for most anyone.

2 miles in 21 minutes?
Damn, so in the name of equity they have dumbed down the standard to a ridiculously low level and they are still whining about women not being able to finish the run in time?
Hell, I think at my worst I could nearly walk 2 miles in 21 minutes.

I’m 37 and in possibly the worst shape I’ve been in the past decade. I could knock out a 20 minute two mile. My wife does a 20 minute two mile probably once a week. That should absolutely be a MINIMUM level of fitness.

Especially for people in the 18-35 age group.

Well, there’s s simple solution to this; let’s just get the other counties to the discussion table and get everyone to agree to equal rules for war. Isn’t that how it works now?

I’d smoke those bitches like a chimney.

My gosh, what is your point? Women aren't capable of serving their country in the military? Do you think senior military officials want to keep females from serving? Of course not.

Just passing along the info.
Don’t be overly emotional.

Aren't half of the female soldiers trans?

Just checked Marine PFT standard. It’s a three mile run there but you can almost be a weakling and pass! Our military is so soft. I hope they sort out the best and strongest for combat mos assignments.

True, but they equally stop a bullet

The left judges our military on its degree of inclusiveness and wokeness. Its readiness isn't a priority which shows how irresponsible they are and how little they care about our country.

Can we just change the requirement to:
Women must make sandwiches in such quantity as to feed the Men who pass the 2-Mile Run test and they must do so in 21 minutes or less?
I want to be fair

2 Miles in 21 minutes is "difficult" haha. If you can't do that then jeez
You could walk a portion of that and still make 21 minutes in a reasonable condition.
