I have been assured by a friend with a female in the Army that the standards have been adapted for females. I checked with a different expert, and it appears to be true.

The top 60% or so of each sex is considered ok....something like that if I understood correctly. Maybe it’s 40%.

I couldn’t believe this:

<>The most difficult event for both male and female soldiers is the two-mile run, with 5% and 22% failing, respectively. The run must be completed within 21 minutes.<>

I’m almost 70 yrs old and jog (it aint running) four miles in 45 minutes.

These young people should be running no more than eight minute miles.
