Unfortunately... I believe you are exactly right. I can remember one of my last experiences in LE. I was in a courthouse, just a typical day... until I saw a female motorcycle dyke... all 130 lbs of her strutting around like a peacock. I’ll never forget the absurdity of it. Jeez... I’m gonna call for help and THIS is the help I can expect? If you want to stay alive... it’s time to move on.

I found the chart that they use for scoring (points for reps, distance, time, etc.).

Pretty familiar with all of these moves (CrossFit). Conservatively estimated my score and figured I would pass it by about 10 points.

I’m a female/5’5”/122 lbs. Oh, and BTW, I’m 57 years old. If the 20-somethings can’t pass this test...well, I don’t know what to say. Put down the fork and go to the gym?

Re the “startling” (NOT) thrust of this article. Why didn’t we know about this earlier? /sarc

Let me list the reasons:

Clinton administration military leaders
Obama administration military pansies esp. in the Navy and Air Force
Biden administration military pansies, idiots and incompetents. Now including the Marines whose job will not involve storming the beaches but building maternity hospitals and making maternity suits for the troops).

Know how you feel...

When I was in the Corps (1951 to 1957), the only women issues in the Corps was when one of them heard you refer to them as a BAM...

They were tough as nails, but smart enough to understand their role...

The Corps has been descending into this crap for a couple of decades...

My dad served from 1942 to 1945 on the grand tour of the Pacific from Guadalcanal to Okinawa... He would be dismayed at today’s America...
