It bothered me to see a women in uniform and know that she was unqualified to wear it.
Females have a fake parallel standard created to artificiality put them in the uniform and to keep them in it, they don’t pass the real standards.
Well, from what I remember about the physical standards, only the pushups were reduced for women, since they have less upper body strength than men. And even with that standard, there were a number of women who exceeded the women’s standard to match the men’s. The sit-ups were just about equivalent. At the time, I had to do 52 in two minutes and the women, 50. And the times for the two-mile run, weren’t all that far off either, maybe by a minute or slightly more or less.
I’m on the scrawny side and served in the Army so although I passed the standards, there were women in my unit who were certainly stronger and more physically capable than I was.
Aside from the physical part, though, in regard to the actual tasks we needed to do, I didn’t see any difference at all. They worked just as hard doing the same tasks and just as well. I was proud to serve with them.
