I verified that through usmc.mil and I'll be - you're right. Don't recall that was the case when I was in. I disagree with it though. I'll have to ask hubby about it. He also taught at SOI (School of Infantry) so he would be more aware of the policies than I was in Intel.

Do they gender norm the individual PFT events too, as the Army does? I notice that what I posted was the standard for "males," which would indicate there is different standard for females.

LOL I did some time in Dam neck. Back when it was surrounded by pig farms on about 3 sides and the ocean on the other. LOL at least it smelled that way.

from the Army side, it gets tougher as you get older, up until 37 then they start reducing it

17-21 yr old 71 pushups to max....32-36yr old 75 to max

I honestly had NO idea the standards change as you age. Of course, I was never one of those directly involved in administering the PFT. I simply took it.
Absolutely not , I am not really a proponent of women in the military except for support roles.....admin, nurses, etc. I do have some exception but will refrain from mentioning in this thread.

Kidding aside, we do tend to be a slightly different breed than the rest.
