Army Female recruits can't pass the physical

[hog88]

Just the Army ones.

Does potty trained include outhouses and trees?

I always thought it would be more practical and realistic for us in the infantry to do a 25 mile road march instead of the 2 mile run. 6 hour max time limit 75lbs of gear.

I can count on 1 hand how many times I've had to ruck more than 5-6K during any deployment/field training exercise.

25 is dumb. So is the 12 miler.

Things must have changed more than I thought.

Even so, a timed road march with combat load is more apropos to an infantry soldiers physical reediness than the 2 mile run.

That I agree on.

 

[hog88]

That I agree on.

So no more battalion quarterly 25 milers? I don't know if the other 2 brigades did them but in 3rd brigade each battalion did one every quarter.

Uh huh... but anyways... I suppose we are a bit more savage and wild than some of the other more snobbish and domesticated branches...

 

[Rishvol]

Depends.

Is that standard issue?

Agreed. Army chicks definitely were not snobby.

I’ve never done 1 in just under 19 years in.

with the amount of STD tests I had to perform daily, on both the males and females, no definitely not snobby .. quite the opposite actually.

That would be a terrible job.

Are you guys talking about 25 mile hikes at one time? I don't like having to drive that far.

Yeah, although I wouldn't describe them as "hikes".

More liker an adventure I'm sure.

Always

 

[FLVOL_79]

25 mile hikes? Yall should have used cabs like we did in the air force. You could claim up to 75 miles. BOOM!

Looks like VN has lowered the spelling standards for thread titles.

As I stated, I happen to agree that in combat arms - there should be consideration to equal standards, given the importance of their rolls.

Or lowered spelling standards in a thread with lowered spelling standards.

Thanks, I appreciate you pointing that error. Always looking to get better...

Septic must have a spell checker app that scans the forums for mis-spelled words. My computer is underlining mis-spelled, is that correct or is it misspelled?

 

[FLVOL_79]

Too many people in this thread letting science get in the way of peoples dreams.

If Chandra can't carry a tool box on the flight line but wants to fast rope out of a Blackhawk how dare anyone tell her otherwise! Don't need upper body strength to fall out of a helicopter anyways.

They're all feral.

Most aren't potty trained either.

I remember the ones that got orders to go to Korea was referred to as “queen for a year”. When I was in Korea it was more like “***** for a year”.

We had to do the 12 miler at Stewart along with a 4 mile run in addition to our regular PT test. I think we did a 17 miler in basic at Leonard Wood and it was pretty brutal.

Not potty trained is the definition for feral millenials - sometimes it's only which potty to use.
