Wow. I had an epiphany when I read this article from Marine Times. Read it all but its all making sense when taking all together. First the Washington Times comes out with a story on Sunday about Women in Combat. Then earlier today we get word that 4 service women are suing to drop the prohibition on women in combat...and now we have the story stating that women will now perform pull ups. Check out this portion.
NOTE: Spare me the women's rights activist bullshit, the liberal drumbeat and the peacenik nonsense. Head over to USNI Blog to find fellow travelers in that belief system. Today I'm more than likely to cuss you and then pray to all that's holy that you live nearby so I can setup a meeting. The pussification of America's military is almost complete.
NOTE 1: Are you people kidding me? Do you really think that 3 pullups is considered satisfactory? Find me a Male Marine in the Infantry that is only doing 3 pulllups and I'll show you a Marine whose life is hell. He will be hating life, he'll never get promoted until he improves and he won't be able to keep up. Some of you are so lost you can't see straight....your lack of experience with anything military is stunning.
But come 2014, women will be required to do at least three pull-ups to pass the PFT, with eight needed for a perfect score on that portion of the test.Men must do three pull-ups to pass the test, with 20 required for a perfect score.The flexed-arm hang will remain a part of the Corps’ Initial Strength Test for all female enlisted recruits and as part of the initial PFT required for female officer candidates, according to Amos’ message. However, starting in 2014, pull-ups will be a graduation requirement for boot camp and Officer Candidates School.This is all to lay the ground work for a decision that has already been made. Women will be allowed in combat. Standards will be lowered or ignored. I'm speechless.

Jealously is a bitch, eh?
ReplyDeletejealousy? not hardly and i know you're referring to me talking about USNI blog. not jealousy at all but pure 100 percent hatred. they have people at that "institution" that had parents that stood for something and they ignored it. so fuck you, fuck them and fuck everyone that is about to destroy the Marine Corps.
Deletenow I know why the Commandant is such a fan of MARSOC. now I know why SOCOM is being pushed so hard across the services. now I know why they're focusing so hard on the humanitarian mission set. its because its realized that as a fighting force the Marine Corps will never be the same. sorry little pussies like you won't understand and i can't make you. all i can do is that some how, some way i meet you...even in bum fuck Canada. cause i swear by all that's holy i'm gonna rip out your wind pipe and piss down your throat you little faggot.

ReplyDelete@Huron_Serenity: You're a fucking imbecil. You think the lowering of standards is a good thing? Let's put you on the front line.
ReplyDeleteI was referring to the fact that women will soon be able to go somewhere where Solomon has never been fit enough to go.
DeleteGot ya. Apologies.
DeleteHuron...keep barking at me little boy. i'm gonna get you or something you love. seriously. i've been pushed to a point i thought i would never reach. i want to hurt something. i want to feel someone's pain. you qualify. you thought fucking with me was a joke? life is real little boy, you should have picked an easier, more understanding target for your internet games.
Deletesee ya soon..
Jesus Christ....you've won.
Deleteno you don't understand you little shit. this hate is real. i want you now you son of a bitch. you've fucked with the wrong man. i'm gonna hunt your ass now. just like i laid a small herd of wild boar to waste over the weekend, choped them up and fed them to my dogs thats what i dream of doing to you. i hate you huron...i'm looking forward to the meeting. and trust me. Jesus won't be sitting at the table. just you , me and satan. say hi to daddy bitch....while you got the chance that is.
DeleteSo...the minimum required number of pullups for male Marines is 3, and the required minimum for females will be...3. Looks to me they are raising the minimum standards for females to meet the minimums for males. Haven't we male Marines been complaining about the lower standards for WMs for years? Didn't we start to require females to run 3 miles about 10 years ago? Where was the indignation then?
ReplyDeleteWomen have been in combat for 10 years now. Maybe this is to better prepare them for combat as truck drivers, MPs, and aviation mechanics, not to make them 0311s. 3 pullups does not translate to the ability to carry a pack and a crew-served weapon.
How in the name of all that's holy can anybody who can only do THREE goddamn pullups be considered fit enough for combat?
DeleteIt isn't good enough for combat-but it is the minimum standard for the PFT. And it is 3 more than 0, which was the previous WM standard. The point is it is an increase to the MINIMUM standard which makes it the SAME for males and females.
DeleteBesides, you never saw kids in the infantry who couldn't do pullups? They made them do pullups every day, yet some of them could never get the hang of them, especially without the kip. Didn't get them out of being in the infantry.
show up to a battalion doing only 3 pullups and your life will be pure hell.
Delete3 pull ups is an intelligent increase in standards, from the rather dubious flex arm hang.
ReplyDeleteThe other half of this equation is maybe letting them have a taste of it. The fastest cure for a teen who wants to grow up to play pro football is to get them into football, and let them get pancaked for a week or two in practices. Suddenly soccer looks more fun.
I'm gonna puke.
