U.S. Army halts gender neutral physical fitness test as women struggle...

Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.
An early Pentagon study showed women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, compared with 10 per cent for men. Congress has halted implementation of the new test and the army has begun an independent review into whether it is fair. It has been suggested that the standard test could be evaluated differently for men and women.
The test includes six events - a maximum deadlift, a standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, a sprint, drag and carry, leg tuck, and a two-mile run. Those taking it must score at least 360 points out of a possible 600, and those who achieve higher scores are more likely to be promoted.
However, average scores for women so far are said to have been 100 points lower.

Makes sense because everybody knows in real combat, the enemy will go easier on the gals to make it fair. Good call by the army.

Not gonna lie, ACFT is tough especially if you're in the Heavy Tier. But truth be told being an 88M, very seldom would women hold their own in that MOS. All they could do is just drive, the heavy lifting shite was the burden of the male soldiers.

Um, I think the officer meant “all genders.”
What a transphobe...

I said in previous thread the physical requirements should be the same. I stand firm in that belief.

Quick, someone ban the 'girls' and 'boys' section in department stores. That's the only to equalize the social constructs: bone density and greater muscle mass.

You either can do the job or you can’t. Do not lower the bar.

Best quote ever.

I’m sure once they get the free sex change the scores will be better
Posted on 3/14/21 at 3:06 pm to RollTide1987
Had they even implemented it as a test of record yet?
Last I checked it was postponed due to closed gyms.
