So I guess this means women will have to do the same PT test to the same standards as men.

Having done the PT test in basic back in the 60's, I would say passing the test wouldn't be that big of deal for a woman in good physical shape.

Basic PT is a joke. Can a women carry a 200 lb wounded man for a long distance and at the same time fire a weapon accurately, and keep on humping along through out the day having the ability to do it over and over again? A man may be called upon to do that. I can can do it but can a girl do it? I doubt it. Can a women fight hand-to-hand if need be and beat a man in a fight — I can do that too - again can a women do that? ...Not with any seriousness. They can however, sit back at a distance shoot from defensive positions, but that’s not taking it to the enemy in any offensive operations and be effective at the same time. If the enemy is ever on the same par with US in a fight, and your unit is filled up with women. You’re going to lose.
