Last year, Hegseth introduced new sex-neutral fitness standards that sought to eliminate sex-based grading for combat soldiers on the military’s physical fitness exam. That exam includes a 3-mile run, push-ups or pull-ups, and an abdominal plank. When the standards were announced, some analysts worried it could lead to fewer women enlisting.
But a new report from The War Horse, a nonprofit newsroom, suggests that Hegseth’s new standards were not making the military more masculine, as he seemed to hope. The report found that 90% of female Marines in combat roles who took the fitness test passed or exceeded expectations.
Its right there in the article and even cited in this thread, do you even read?
Sorry about that I was thinking of the army fitness test, didn’t realize the Marines had pull ups still on it. Thought they were dropped
(Edit: you only have to do the pull ups if you can’t do the pushups apparently, you can choose either or on the Marines apparently)
