Sure push-ups and sit-ups is at a lesser amount, but so what? Can they aim an M-4 or carry their ruck? If so, who cares about the number of push-ups needed to max a PT test.[/quote] It would, however, be reasonable to question the endurance abilities in carrying their ruck for an entire patrol (i.e 12 hours)[/quote] Have you been in the military or have taken a PT test? The score really has nothing to do with whether or not the soldier in question can carry a ruck or aim a rifle. Can they do a job? That's the only question that matters. The PT question comes up with numbers minded CO's that promote their people on a number than on performance. PT scores can make or break someone not attached to a combat unit.[/quote]I think PT is a big part of being in the military and should be a crucial part in being in. Physical training plays a huge role in damn near every job in the military. Yes, I know women have combat roles. I'm not saying they can't do it but I'm not saying there aren't things that women just simply shouldn't do. But that comes more from a personal opinion rather than rules an regulations.
