Meanwhile, Obama has instituted a requirement that all male Marines must be able to perform three ankle grabs.

If arm strength is necessary to be a good soldier, then they should all have to meet the standard. If it’s not necessary, eliminate the requirement. Why two standards for the same job?

We’ve never done pull-ups. We’ve always done the flexed arm hang.. and that is NOT easy.

Grab three Female Marine's Ankles and you'll be lucky to only go to the Brig.

I am 34, and I can still do 24 pull ups. I remember being in NROTC, and the midshipman females who were contracted to go to the Marines, could do 17, 23, and 16. I was impressed.
To: ConservativeInPA
In my day we had to do 20 dead hang pull ups to get 100pts on the pft. Dang how times have changed.

Well, some of the bigger gals have these ‘obstructions’ that get in the way of executing a complete and proper pull-up. I won’t elaborate.

Equality means being unequal in Obama’s world.

I’ve had five kids and I can still do twelve pull ups. These women who can’t even do one pull up aren’t qualified to be mothers let alone be Marines!

If they can’t do at least 20 pull-ups (male, female or whatever), they don’t deserve to be called Marines.

But it’s obviously easier than doing pull-ups. Just saying. Not to mention you don’t have those nasty apples to apples comparisons.

We are just unreconstructed sexist pigs for wanting members of our fighting forces to, you know, win a fight.
