Correct me if I’m wrong, but Marines are still schlepping 80 to 100 lbs packs, right?

During their training at TBS the young 2Lt's usually take out about 120lbs on Range Week if they are going to stay overnight. One group was ordered to pack extra and were lugging over 130lbs. One of their female Lt's was about 5'1" and weighed about 100lbs. She had a difficult time.

Did she pass? 130 lbs. pack on a 100 lbs human doesn’t seem like a reasonable engineering ask of human female ankles and knees.
