The New Fox Hole
The Marine Corps in 2013 studied how proficient females were at pull ups. The results were embarrassing. A total of 55 percent of females couldn’t meet the standard of three pull ups. In fact, out of 318 female Marines, the average pull ups they could complete was 1.63. And 20 percent of the total who could actually achieve three pull ups did so by cheating with an extra lower body motion, called “kipping.”
But all of a sudden, the Marine Corps decided to give females yet another year to get their act together. They were allowed the entirety of 2014, as well, to prepare themselves for the pull up requirement.
Then 2015 hit and for some reason females were still allowed to skip pull ups.
Marine Corps Plan Says Women Won’t Have To Do Any Pull ups
While female Marines will strongly be incentivized to do those pull ups to achieve a high score, they can opt for the “flexed-arm hang” instead. For example, females can’t score higher than 50 points for a flexed-arm hang, but just one pull up will net them 51 points, Marine Corps Times reports.
“I think this is a great way to implement the change as it gives an incentive to increase a score without the fear of failing the PFT,” Col. Robin Gallant told Marine Corps Times. “As women work on them to increase their score, they can be confident that they won’t fail a PFT. I think this is a huge benefit and I’m glad it might become a reality.”
What the military is facing is a Lunatic Tax. They can still drive off the dangerously stupid, but they have to accommodate the the whims of the lunatics. That means re-engineering their combat units so they can have a sprinkling of girls in them. When the angry bull-dyke Senator visits, they can show her how enthusiastic they are for girls in combat. This also requires a catalog of euphemisms and esoteric rules to game the theocrats. Everyone in the military now speaks in tongues.
This will not end well. Here…..

The country has gone down an alice in wonderland rabbit hole and only God knows what it and the world will look like when it comes out of that hole.
we now are allowing women in combat that are physically weaker than a 14 year old boy, the democrat candidate that is very likely to be president is a liar and a cheat and would be in prison for her acts 50 years ago and now we have trashed the face of the twenty dollar bill.
not that I have a problem with recognizing any minority but to throw out a president for someone that just had a great life is not an acceptable trade. where are the pictures of famous white guys at the NAACP buildings to counter.
Yes, the country I grew up in is going away fast and there isn’t thing one I can do about it; but I don’t have to like it.
The Israeli Defense Force doesn’t seem to have the same problem with its female members. Yes, women have been proven to have less upper body strength, but life style plays a good part as well.
And I agree totally (at 73 years of age) leeholsen statement:
“Yes, the country I grew up in is going away fast and there isn’t thing one I can do about it; but I don’t have to like it.”
America is not the one I knew in the 1950’s……SAD!
Toejam, I want those 1950s back as well. God surely is very pissed at the USA right now. Allowing men in restrooms with our Mothers, Wives, Children and Grandchildren is the final straw for me. I am a couple of years younger than you but as an old crazy Vietnam Vet I’ve had it. Let the shooting war begin. I have cancer and no longer care what happens to me. These f’king pussies in charge of our beloved country need to be removed.
