What!? They took away the brass pole survival test?
What % of men fail?
Except the DOD budget comes from the cowards in Congress.....

Surprise!!!
My 18 year old neighbor girl just passed the fitness test and she must be all of 110 lbs. Not to belittle her, because she kicked azz and I’m very proud of her, but I don’t think the bar is set too high.
Oh oh
Why Trump has not reversed this horrible women in combat policy of Obama is beyond me. But not to worry, the problem obviously lies with the test and not the women failing it. It would be helpful if we knew the male failure rate to use as a baseline.
Sounds like the ladies are not doing their PT. The military becomes more corporate by the year. Maybe they paid them a bonus to do PT they would do it.
about 30 percent
I suspect a lot of men do too these days.
The US DOD is a massive political bureaucracy, based in the heart of the deep state.
They will drift along with the ridiculous political and social trends just as any other bureaucracy in Washington DC.
There will probably come a time when lots of dead bodies tell them they need to adjust their thinking - but that is not a problem for today and certainly no one advances in the bureaucracy by pointing it out.
There’s no doubt that mission readiness and ‘combat lethality’ has taken a back seat to gender diversity and we can thank bambam 0bama for the foothold it has gotten.
According to unofficial Army Combat Fitness Test pass/fail records of 3,206 soldiers in 11 battalions, 84% of female trainees and 30% of male trainees failed the six-event Army test.
Physical fitness tests shouldn’t be easy enough for everyone to pass, but some experts have described the alarming gender-neutral combat fitness test results as a “fiasco” that clearly sets up women to fail.
Is this the lesser physical test for women or the original men’s fitness test?

NO! Who would of thunk it?
This can’t be true. I just saw the latest Avengers film. Women are just as good as men in combat.
with today’s soy boys going into army for the money and education only? probably higher % than it woodland been 40 years ago-
