Nobody thought I could do it but I went into Infantry/Airborne schools at Harmony Church, Ft Benning in 83. I was thankful to go through the Church and not the modern Sand Hill(ton).
They told us we had it easy compared to those who walked before us. Training standards dumbed down.
I weighed 118 lbs on my induction date, months later I came out at 165 including my blood wings.
Damn near killed me.
Airborne school is much easier now as opposed to the early eighties and earlier. In short, the school was made easier to accommodate females, end of story. No pull ups, no break area procedures, no gig pit, no heart break hill, etc.
Is that a misprint...or are you a woman who "bulked up"?
