| 1 | Fits hereI mean unless the last customer is someone who's card keeps getting canceled and you need to troubleshoot the issue for 15 minutes and you're suddenly 10 minutes late. I could see someone offering to pay something small to avoid that. | /r/PussyPassDenied | 20/08/20 11:53 AM |
| 1 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.The study you linked is 60 years old, hardly has anything to do with modern warfare. The body armors were practically non-existent at the time for example. Also because most fighting happened in urban areas and close range doesn't mean there was no fighting from range and the guns have to perform in those situations as well (for example I'm Finnish and most of our fighting was in the from relatively long range. Situations where range is advantage and you need to be able to aim). And yes as I sai… | /r/MensRights | 14/10/13 09:34 AM |
| 1 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.I have nothing against women in armed forces, but I do think that artificially picking a concentration and forcing it would be highly inefficient. You make standards based on the job the candidate would perform and you pick the best person, no matter gender. If that leads to more males then so be it. Countries have armies because they have to, not because it's something people wanna do or because it beneficial to the society. The more efficient the army, less resources lost else where. I dislike… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 11:01 PM |
| 1 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.Sure different combat roles have different requirements and probably should have different fitness standards. I'm all for it as long as they are equal for everyone and high enough for the job. You rarely carry lots of food and water in combat situations. During marches etc some, but during combat less than 2 kg. It's all vital equipment: guns/defensive gear/ammo/radios/binoculars etc depending on your role. And usually in a combat situations you try to avoid having lots of people near each other… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 06:27 PM |
| 1 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.I've gone trough 6 months of basic infantry training (as part of mandatory service in my country) and based on that I don't agree. I'm a fairly large guy and there were situations where I realized how much it would help to be a bit stronger. We had fight simulations where I had to carry a unconscious guy in a swamp while being fired at if I wasn't large enough to carry the guy in that situation he would be dead. And another thing is that even in modern warfare the infantry has to carry a substan… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 05:51 PM |
| 2 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.Well, the whole argument revolves around the fact that to perform in a combat situation you need certain amount of strength. For example you need to carry heavy equipment and/or your injured brother in arms. This is why there are certain strength standards. Now if these standards are lowered for women, it would mean that there were soldiers in the force unable to perform a necessary task, like saving that unconscious mate. So the problem isn't the sex but the fact that the other sex can get in w… | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 04:23 PM |
| 3 | Female Marines will be required to complete three pullups in order to pass the PFT.I'm not from USA and I haven't been in a real combat situation. But I've done my mandatory service as an infantry radio man (I have no idea what the position would really be in English). I just wanted to say that I agree with you, but your fitness level and size do also make a real difference. It's so much easier for a fit and large guy to carry that 40kg of equipment than it is for the guy who weighs as much as the equipment. | /r/MensRights | 13/10/13 04:02 PM |
