Anyone who has ever served could've predicted this.

The obvious answer is to lower the standards further.

Which is exactly what they will do unless a certain Texas senator wins next year.

I think it was a mistake to lower the requirements to get in, in the real world, the enemy isn’t going to go easier on you because you are a woman. You need to fit the requirement to enter and pass the regular test.

As a woman, I’m proud that our bodies are different. You guys can’t give birth, and that trumps any muscle/strength issue you can put out there. :-)

Standards are Patriarchy.

End the Oppression and make the USMC a "Safe Space".

I have to admit the fact that a woman can produce a human being is pretty awesome.

The standards will be “reviewed” and “revised” now

And the fact that many chose to do it more than once indicates that they are also a little scary.

Getting a 1st class score of the physical fitness test is pretty easy for a male and really really hard for a female. For instance, a man can do 10 pull-ups with almost no extra work, but I have only met one woman who could do it.

I went through IOC 30 years ago, and it was hard, but we also played hard. Our instructors for the most part were junior captains and single, so we had a lot of fun. For instance, immediately after our final field exercise the captains bought a keg of beer and we got pretty drunk while cleaning our gear. I really wish I had a picture of that scene (30 Lts- dirty, tired and still painted with cammie paint, cleaning the mud off of their gear while getting sloshed.) However, we were too smart to document that event with pictures.

They’ll lower it as long as Klownie the Kenyan still has time to destroy the country and our military.
