Has anyone read the article in the Marine Corps Times the Oct 13 issue, "Pulling for Change" on the very last page of the issue??

What is your opinon on the article? Do you think that females should perform the same PFT exercises as the males?

Tough question...on the one hand yes, on the other no.

Yes, if women were allowed in all aspects of military service, including front line combat MOS's.

No, because most women lack the upper body strength to be able to do the pull-ups. Don't think the run or crunches would be a problem though.
