Navy Secretary: Women 'soon' will serve on submarines

Added more info to complete the comparison.  Now why does a man have to do a certain amount, but a woman has to do less?  I know not all women are as strong as men, but if they are doing the same job, shouldn't they be graded on the same scale?

Are the women still allowed to do the easier type of sit-ups?

Nah, I figured I'd just buy stock in whichever company builds those enormous things.

Never will happen and I guess you have never stepped foot on a modern sub or been stationed on one

no, all situps are equal

There are easier types of sit-ups?  Damn.

The last time I visited a recruitment office, my daily routine was to roll out of bed, hit the floor and do thirty push-ups and sit ups and run half a mile to work, but that was a decade ago.  I knew I'd never be eligible to serve, but I tried anyway.  I didn't want to lie to the recruiter and get in trouble.
