“How can you say that when you don’t even know the minimum standards?”
Exactly. The author doesn’t know the minimum standards either; only that they are supposed to be the same for everyone, regardless of age or sex. The Army is fields testing the standards in the divisions over the next year. The author’s long time complaint has been that it’s unfair and unwise to have one standard for men and another for women; now he’s got that. Regardless, these events look more difficult than the current 3 events and will certainly be more taxing on older or weaker personnel.

Bueller? Bueller?
That is a very good question.
Almost certainly he was “Dismissed from the service” which is the officer equivalent of a dishonorable discharge.
Without a ridiculous amount of equipment meant to be used twice a year, it’s going to take two days to administer a PT test to a company sized unit.
