And I have a friend who was an enlisted Soldier in the second class with females. She can do a hundred push-ups any day.

So, yes, I know one who can, and the EOD major who works for me, and Mrs Walter who was a fire fighter, and tens of others....

I guess I just hang out with the tough women.


Show me in the article where is says the passed the MALE pt standards. You've been in 40 years, you now females have a much lower standard. In addition, those push ups have to be done in 2 minutes. The world record for consecutive female push-ups is only 50. I was unable to find an official 2 minute record.

As for your friend that earned her Air Assault badge, that's great. Of course Air Assault school is a walk in the park compared to Ranger School.


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
