HOOAHH!! US Army Scraps 'Gender Neutral' Fitness Test....

-

GRENADE!!!!

H/T to 90 Miles from Tyranny, here.

Because some 65% of women FAIL the test, as compared to 10% of men.  Can't have the wimmins getting upset because they just CANNOT do what men do....

I imagine all the branches are going through the same thing to one degree or another....we are going to get our asses handed to us.

Lord.  Have.  Mercy!

The top photo is priceless!  One of our 'bad ass' soldierettes getting ready to bring fear and death down upon our enemies!!

By the uniform, I am ashamed to say that 'she' is in the Air Force....told ya other branches are going through the same thing....even back in '91, the AF had max age in service officers and NCO's running their 2 miles faster than an 18 year old female, who could out score the old guys based on their time...I know things have changed PT wise, but the mindset is the same....

U.S. Army Considers Scrapping 'Gender Neutral' Fitness Test As Majority Of Women Fail

"We have to figure out a way to make it fair to both genders."

The army is considering scrapping its new "gender neutral" fitness test because women are failing at it en masse and it's therefor not "fair" to "both genders."


From The Telegraph, "US army halts gender neutral fitness test as women struggle":

The US army is considering scrapping its new gender neutral fitness test because women have been failing in much larger numbers than men.

Research showed that the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

An early Pentagon study showed women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65 per cent, compared with 10 per cent for men. Congress has halted implementation of the new test and the army has begun an independent review into whether it is fair. It has been suggested that the standard test could be evaluated differently for men and women.

I'm sure our adversaries will be nice enough to make sure these ladies will only go into combat against other female soldiers!

The test includes six events - a maximum deadlift, a standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, a sprint, drag and carry, leg tuck, and a two-mile run. Those taking it must score at least 360 points out of a possible 600, and those who achieve higher scores are more likely to be promoted.

However, average scores for women so far are said to have been 100 points lower.

Congress has now declared that the test in its current form should not be a factor in deciding whether someone gets promoted.

[...] An army officer told Military.com: "We have to figure out a way to make it fair to both genders."

I wonder if that officer is going to be reprimanded the same way the military top brass reprimanded Tucker Carlson?

Everyone knows there's at least 769 different genders (also, there's no difference between the sexes)!

Perhaps the Biden regime can start giving female soldiers free testosterone and steroids seeing as how they're now paying for trans troops gender reassignment surgeries?

    I had 18 year old male recruits who could not do 3 push-ups. They could not pass the 3-event APFT let alone the ACFT !

    While I agree with you on the PT performance, or lack thereof, by female troops, do not give a pass on the MALE inability to physically perform to any established standard. They're not much better if at all, when compared to their female counterparts. The emasculation of American men has been ongoing for a minimum of 30 years. It is now reaching it's crescendo of doom.

      Yea, I'm a gym rat and have been lifting weights since Christ was a kid and have watched the American male deteriorate into a basement dwelling, puffy, pasty faced pussy over the years. You see these totally out of shape young people wonder into the gym with pathetic lack of muscle mass.They last for two or three weeks and decide getting in shape requires WAY to much work. Then, I assume, they retire back to moms basement with a bag of Doritos, a soft drink, and their favorite video game. It's reached epidemic proportions caused by our school systems.

          DTG’s 2021 Updated 10 Week (If You’re Lucky) Plan                      to Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario     It’s been about 13 or 14 years since I wrote this under my since retired ‘nom de guerre’, and commenting on a blog post recently, CA at Western Rifle Shooter’s Association asked me if I’d mind updating it.   This is a good base plan for folks you might know just waking up to the fact that things are spinning faster in the vortex than ever before, and this might be the best chance for them to get themselves in gear.   Feel free to add or take away as your situation and local area conditions may require.   Understand something, though:   You have a VERY small window; it may even be too late should something happen that accerlerates the current environment like a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) rocket on a C130.   So, if you’re just getting st...

Beware of the Seductress...

Just as Samson was seduced by Delilah, so can you be seduced by the internal desire you have to one degree or another to have all the latest, greatest, coolest, most technically advanced, and 'tacticool' weapons, gear, and associated support equipment available,  which, by necessity, will set you back many, many thousands of dollars,  usually.  When sporty times come, the first thing you'll need to be able to do is actually use what you have.   The you have to be able to carry it all.  I mention this Nevada a great many,  "gear-a-holics" are not in the best shape.   Remember a good rule of thumb:  All your gear,  including weapons, ammo, equipment (all types), food and water shouldn't weigh more than about 65 or 70 pounds.  Then, if you're planning on being mobile, you should be ruckingin all sorts of weather over varying distances at a pace of no less than 3 miles an hour over relatively flat and clear routes.  But, if yo...

PSA - Instant Incapacitation of an Attacker...

  First, I forget where I got this graphic; it's been a long while.  It's good though, for this post's purposes.  For the uninitiated, or new prepper, protector, defender, NPT member, etc (whatever your group calls the new guys), 'CNS' stands for 'Central Nervous System'. There are three ways to achieve instant incapacitation with a firearm against an attacker:  Shoot them in one of the 3 places as outlined above. Other descriptions of the targets (and very effective if a bad actor is shot there) are: FRONT:  The Occular Cavity SIDE:  The Temple (just a smidge toward the top of the ear) REAR:  Medula Oblongata (where the brain stem resides at the top of the spine where the brain joins the spinal column. A shot in any of these three locatations brings about catastropic INSTANT failure of all systems in the body.  Put another way:  "Instant Rag Doll."  There's no last chance to pull a trigger, say 'good bye,' "I'm sorry," or...
