Men pass the men’s standard on the PT test and women must pass the women’s standard. Pre-Ranger is much more than the PT test but it is not equal from the start.

It is the same for other MOS areas. A woman Engineer officer must meet the female PT test requirements.

That said, I have seen some damn fine female runners and sit-uppers. I’ve never run across a good female push-upper and even fewer pull-uppers. They don’t exist.

As general rules: Women have great stamina; They don’t have great strength. That’s simple human physiology 101.

All other things equal besides the PT test, on any given cycle there should be zero females make it through Ranger school. Every few cycles, you might see a success.
