17. I can't now, but I use to be able too. Just three though.. no more! LOL

I really can't see how a pull up is truly determining factor as to what physical demands soldiers meet on the "battle field".

Maybe it's just been a stupid test all along. However, I am sure that as women try to meet the standards (no matter how I feel about them), more will succeed.

Boston bean  truly is dumb as  a box of rocks.

In my 20s I did them, regularly. I worked EMS. I had to work those muscles. These days I would not try, not before significant upper body training that is.

I suppose being able to do pull ups would translate to a useful skill when you need to hoist yourself out of harms way.  I'd rather be able to lift my scrawny self than have to wait for help.

A big gripe I have with many feminists is right along this line.  They want equal compensation and opportunity, but not equal responsibility.  I see it in ranching, too.  They act all macho while throwing a 30# saddle on a short quarter horse, but whine when it's time to waller a rail road tie into the ground for a corner post.

First off, no way in hell she ever did them.  Ever.  Second, any woman who could do more than 1-2 would never let themselves go to the point they look like The Penguin.

I don't have to worry about it now, but back in the day, it would have greatly disturbed me to know that this person was either on my left or my right.

You could probably get as many opinions about it as on such other timeless questions are 'Ford vs. Chevy' or 'S&W vs Colt.'  The Army hasn't made them a part of its standards (Except in some schools, and even then, with a certain unpredictable amount of slack).  In itself, it hasn't seem to have made much of a difference either way in combat capability.

Aw come on Sparky, I've seen several pictures of Nads, you really think she looks like The Penguin??



Her hair line is more The Riddler, and, just a zeitgeist fashion tip, the mask could work well for her too.
