    Same benchmark PT requirements as men.

    You can't trust the Internet. I'd probably just end up on some leftist website started by a disgruntled SJer.

    Dyepack isn't leftist, IIRC.

    Depends on the branch. A close friend of mine was a Marine. PT included push ups, pull ups, lots and lots of running and other physical strength exercises. The final test called the "Crucible" was a 52-hour (I think) endurance obstacle where the cadets/peons were only allowed 2-4 hours of sleep per night on top of a shitload of endurance tests.
    Don't know what the women will have to endure, but I'm sure it will be similar.

    Would be pretty stupid and dangerous if not.

    Agreed. Just don't let politicians get in on what the requirements should be.

    It would be the first time in the history of the world they didn't.

    If you keep doing it for him he'll never learn.
