There are/were no pull ups in the Army. Push ups, sit ups, and a 2-mile run.
sign me up because I;ve had it.
I went to a marine recruiting office the other week and all I will say now is WOW, the marine was an idiot who kept trying to tell mehow he was good.
Do you know what it takes to get in the marines now?
This is the marines not the army where many join that for their 4 years to get their freebies for life,\\\
Men two pulls ups to get in.
women one pull up
to finish training, men 3 pulls ups, 28 sit ups in two minutes, 3 mile run in 28 mins in shorts and sneakers.
women have more time for a run, less weight, less sit ups, less pulls ups etc and yet this marine recruiter tried ot tell me that my son will not be forced to share a room or shower with a homosexual and that women in comat is a good thing.
What is it with the Navy and Army, one pull up now?
The military is not what it was and thankfully I have done my time
The British royal marines don;t even let women serve and they finsih their training with a 30 mile march, run over cross country, over swamps carrying weight in combat kit in just 8 hours then carry the next guy a distance right after, then do pull ups, sit ups, etc
How on this earth can a woman serve and be next to a guy in combat?
In the Last week of AIT I was on KP, up at 0300. Ran the final PT Test at 0930, back on KP until 1930. You couldn’t get into the Mess Hall with less than 10 pull ups at the door, times have changed.
Not really a fair comparison. The Royal Marines are an elite light infantry commando force that specialises almost completely in combat (which is why there are no women). The USMC is like a whole separate branch of the military with its own logistics and support units and outside of the combat units the minimal fitness requirements and training for your average US Marine (not including the combat specialists) doesn't need to be anywhere near as tough as it has to be for your average Royal Marine.
