“If”? You are way behind the curve, pal. The military decades ago dropped standards to allow women to serve. There are two standards for men and women in every aspect of PT. Women can graduate from boot camp even if they cannot throw a grenade far enough to escape the blast radius. Women are allowed to swim a shorter distance in flight gear and run the O-course if they want to go into military aviation. “If”? Come aboard, pal.

The USSR had women serving in combat in WWII. Lots of them were killed by their own grenades because they didn’t have the strength to throw it far enough.
