The Army is rolling out a new fitness test: Will it hold back women?

An Army initiative to create a stronger, fitter fighting force has yielded a dramatic gender gap, raising questions about whether the service unintentionally might compound barriers for women trying to move up the ranks.

www.stripes.com

“Recent Army figures show that 54% of female soldiers failed the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is being rolled out on a provisional basis, compared with 7% of men during the second quarter of 2020.“

Only reason for women in the Army is as cooks. No heavy lifting and running required. (Or pooping in ammo cans with 8 guys watching)

They want equality, earn it.

But they won’t, standards will be lowered even though that will undermine the Army's mission.

One Marine Gunny I knew could probably disassemble you.

A couple of our Woman Marines tried the male PFT. Both passed with flying colors. Others tried and struggled. Not one that tried failed.

As long as they can hack it they are Marines.

Exceptions to the rule, there are always a few, and they get pregnant.

OP shows 50%+ fail.

Marines typically are humping loads from 97 to 135 pounds for 20 miles, how do those women fair doing that?

I had a several females on my trauma team; you wouldn't stand a chance against them.....any female that can haul a critically wounded tanker twice her size out of the loaders hatch of an M1 in full battle rattle would break you in half with a look.

And then they get pregnant.

You are not addressing the OP, should we lower standards for women?
Is the Army a fighting force or a jobs program like the USPS?

 

[TypicalRussian]

women are not as physically strong as men so these results are expected

I hope the tests arent rolled back like NYPD

None of my combat medics got pregnant, and none of them failed their mission.....but, the last time I checked, the USPS does not require a female to patrol with the infantry in full kit and return fire.....mine did.

 

[Aberro]

Diversity over Mission.
Sad way to run an Army which will get people killed to improve diversity.
Mission be damned!

Best Medic kicks off with the Army Combat Fitness Test

The 2018 Army Best Medic Competition kicked off before dawn Sept. 17, 2018, by putting the Soldier-medics through the endurance trials of the new Army Combat Fitness Test, on Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

“Best Medic kicks off with the Army Combat Fitness Test”

None were female.

You are just full of ignorant generalizations.

Links like I provided to prove your statement?

women’s only job in the Army should be cooks in chow hall.

When they compete with men, they loose.

Not to mention how they disrupt a rifle team, because they have a vigina, which all members of the rifle team want.

And?

Are you saying that females cannot manage the rigors of combat?

Hint: neither can many males...and I and my team mate failed the best medic competition despite holding both the CMB and the EFMB.

How can the standards get any lower than pooping in ammo cans in front of the guys?!? LOL

Perhaps the standards need to be raised.

Women may have less upper body strength than men...but they tend have more stamina and endurance. Also, they don't pass out at higher altitudes as much as men....which makes them great fighter pilots. A job as a fighter pilot requires a much higher standard than just lifting and hauling...and pooping in front of the guys.

Kind of a moot point in the near future:

AI system beats US military pilot in F-16 dogfight

An artificial intelligence algorithm successfully defeated an experienced US fighter pilot in five out of five simulated fights.

Boots on the ground, is more important.

Than there is this problem with women pilots, no penis:

Air Force Wants New Ideas To Help Make It Easier For Female Fighter Pilots To Pee In Flight

The service says that women aviators are deliberately not hydrating to avoid having to go, which creates all sorts of serious risks.

I'm sure you have many examples of how females failed you in combat.....right?

And drones will replace boots on the ground...which kinda makes combat training a moot point in the near future, too.

I lived on FOBs A-Stan, no women there, god I wish there had been. She would have been chased unmercifully.
Dirty panties would have been sold at least.

I'm surprised 46% passed it.

Must be an easier version of the APFT than I had to take back in the day.

While I am partially kidding, I found the requirements here:

United States Army Physical Fitness Test - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It seems women and men are, as usual held to different standards.

Now this is understandable, don't mistake me.

But like "Trans" athletes competing with females in sports...some people pushing certain narratives continue to refuse to accept men and women ARE different in more then just their "plumbing."

I lived on FOB's in Iraq and the Stan...so I guess thats a "NO" for females failing.

What was the name of Main Street in Bagram? You had to go through Bagram to get to a FOB A-Stan. I remember they had a Burgerking.

well, guess you weren't there, as I figured.

I wasnt at Bagram, I was at Camp Morehead....I transited through HKIA, and stayed in the 400 series buildings.
I spent my time teaching ANASOC medics at Camp Commando, and the SF medics at 6 SOK

Fortunately the Army is increasingly becoming irrelevant. The Army being only for weak minds and strong backs might make sense.

I stand corrected, thank you for your service, but the Burger-king in Bagram was awesome! I went on to Tillman.
Chow hall in Bagram had cold near-beer for breakfast, non-alcohol beer,

Most of the enlisted females on their first hitch do wind up “with child”. Quick and easy general discharge.
