I stand corrected, thank you for your service, but the Burger-king in Bagram was awesome! I went on to Tillman.

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.
I hope you have found a home, I still have a problem of staying in one place to long. As a military brat and military service, I feel the need to relocate ever couple years.The only time I spent in Bagram was at Camp Vance; I retired in 2008 and spent the next 12 years as a military advisor in Afghanistan under the DoD.......I was at Camp Stone, Herat, Camp Spann, Maz I Sharif, Phoenix, Leatherneck, Alamo, Spin Boldak, Walton, Eggers, Black Horse, Kandahar, Camp Leslie, and Julien.

Wife hates it.
Hmmm, can I file for PTSD due to that?
I’m 65 yrs old and I can do that, Long humps with 100lbs weight , knees say NOPE!Yes...this is going to be an issue. I've taken the ACFT 5 times now. It's much more difficult for women and smaller guys than the old test, for some of the events. As a bigger guy, I love it, because we've had no events to measure actual power until now, so if you were tiny you could kill it but not be much useful beyond your own body weight.
That said, your comment about women only being in the Army as cooks is trash. I have plenty of women in my MOS that kick my ass on our CTLs. There are many jobs in the Army, and military in general, that require brains and other things that are not just brute strength.
This doesn't mean I don't think the new test is any good. Again, I like it more than the old one. I just think that the one event that's causing the most failures (leg tuck), isn't particularly a good exercise, imo.
Here is a video of the event.
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.
Men are not threatened, but the mission is.The effects and motives of this are significant:
1. It means it has been accepted that the Army will play no role in the technological side of the military. "Keep it simple, dummy" will define the future of the Army.
2. Women have no place in any role in the Army and it is too risky to even attempt a career in the Army because you will be double crossed.
3. It has been decided that the military will never deploy a large Army ground force again and will be incapable of doing so - deliberately.
4. Reduce public support of the military - making it easier to cut military budgets and benefits.
5. Eliminate the number of career men and eliminate hang-on dead weight men hanging on only to make retirement. This is a very real cost problem.
6. Force full time Army into the reserves.
Misogyny is on the increase in the military as men feel increasingly threatened - but is this their last desperate gasp?

Vigina, vagina, all the same to a 19 year old grunt. He just wants it. Willing to fight over it. Mission be damned, pu$$y is a higher priority.Your (Snicker) opinion is noted.
And most men can spell vagina.
It is inevitable that China will surpass the USA militarily. China is superior in electronics, computers, software, virology, hacking and manufacturing capacity. Historically, the USA has always underrated Asians - and racism is at the core of that viewpoint.Men are not threatened, but the mission is.

Females should not be in the Army period. Nothing but distractions for men in the Army.The military is in a terrible budgetary crisis. Next generation military equipment is astronomically expensive. Personal costs are astronomically expensive. Our potential adversaries - particular China - has created a new arms race our military and government can not afford.
It clearly has been decided the future is in technology and next generation equipment, not in basic personnel. That is a wise decision - but this is not the way to reduce personnel. Rather, the military should more selectively remove dead weight and non-essential personnel on an individual basis.
This method of staff reduction risks the law of unintended consequences.
For example, many in the military are married to people in the military. If one is booted out, the other likely will get out - and have no motivation while still in. That is my daughter's situation. Her wife is deeply concerned about the upcoming PT, though her tasks require no strength. If she goes out, my daughter goes out. Her team would follow as they are codependent as a geek team. With this, however billions worth of new gen whatever gathers dust as it is their baby. A team it took years to assemble can not be replaced overnight and do not expect them to train their replacements.
Making pursuing a military career fully unreliable will have far reaching consequences.
However, again, the military MUST reduce personnel count, particularly dead weight career military for the practice of the military having to create a basis to eliminate someone - at least in the Army. The size of the Army will be reduced. It must be for costs. The question is how - and this isn't the way.
It is inevitable that China will surpass the USA militarily. China is superior in electronics, computers, software, virology, hacking and manufacturing capacity. Historically, the USA has always underrated Asians - and racism is at the core of that viewpoint.
The problem is not that our troops can't carry heavy enough packs. The USA would never tolerate the extreme measures many other militaries use to toughen their troops - where screwing up can get a soldier beaten to death. Wars will not be decided by infantry. They will be decided by technology.
Nope, wars will be won by boots on the ground, nuff said.
Technology, hit it with a rock, it’s worthless.
The left is in charge of the military now. Requirements will be dumbed down so as to be PC.The Army is rolling out a new fitness test: Will it hold back women?

Dead weight career military, mostly women. We agree, retire them.
