(CNSNews.com) -- Females in the Marine Corps currently are not required to do even a single pull-up, and a deadline mandating that by Jan. 1, 2014, they be able to do at least 3 pull-ups as part of their training has been delayed for at least a year, the Corps quietly announced on social media.
Unlike their female counterparts, male Marines have long been required to do at least 3 pullups as part of the Physical Fitness Test (PFT). That's the minimum requirement for males.

Amos may be the worst commandant ever.
Since the real mission of the military is to kill the enemy of this country and break their things, “How does adding women to the military improve on this mission?”
And to add to your information, NPR recently learned of this requirement and whined all over the place saying it was descrimination..... of course NPR doesn’t understand that upper body strength is needed not only to possibly get yourself out of a dangerous situation, but also to be able to rescue your brothers in danger. They don’t care as long as those mean old Marines don’t descriminate against weaker individuals.
They must have a lot of dykes in the Marines because only one percent could do 3 pull ups.
Not one? Did you see that lesbo that cried wolf as a waitress? The one who was an ex marine? Dawg she should have been about to pull the bar out of the wall! What do you mean not do one or three pull ups?
This is all much ado about nothing. I follow a modified Marine Corps Fitness program to keep fit. It involves running, sit ups and chin ups. 3 to 5 hours per week. The Marines test twice a year and the women have always had different standards from the men. The women do an arm hang, where the men do a full chin.

This is just another made up story to get people all upset when there’s nothing to get upset about. We’ve got to stop being played like that.
You’re all looking at this the wrong way. This is actually a good thing, since those that the fed.gov will someday send to take our guns and preps (”hoarding of precious national resources is strictly verboten) will be less physically capable. Some patriot must be behind this policy change. /s
“This is just another made up story to get people all upset when theres nothing to get upset about. Weve got to stop being played like that.”
So, you are okay with different physical standards for the same job.
Does that include openly gay marine recruits? Since they are supposed to be women trapped in a mans body does that mean they are female?
What’s made up? All jobs are open to females now, and they can’t do the job.
Obama believes the job of the Marine Corps is to hold umbrellas. Who needs pullups for that???
Confused between want and can't, eh?
