I was in Army Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC the summer of 1979. I was in the very first co-ed training Platoon.
Yes, it got tiring dragging those boys along with us every day, but of all of us, I only remember a very few not making it through.
And it was no cake-walk, and our standards were the SAME as they boys, and there was no PC BS or ‘wokeness’ to deal with.
Also, there’s no crying in Army Basic Training. Well, at least not in FRONT of anyone.
“Cry on your own time, Maggot, not mine!” LOL!
PT score standards were the same for both sexes?
I don’t recall that ever having been the case.
