I applaude your dedication...keep it up. The navy needs more females that don't take advantage of their lower PRT standards and push themselves to do their best. I personally witnessed a 28 year old female at NSI crank out 142 sit-ups, 58 push-ups, and a 1032 run...It was motivating to say the least. Keep setting the example...

Yut Yut OORAH Semper FI Devildog! :)

You're right. I agree completely. I work my a** off to be in great shape and cant stand the same things that you have said above. In fact, I would almost say that it is more mentally draining on a female who is in good shape, does well on her PRT (whether you are looking at the male of female standards) and has to sit and watch the other 3/4 of the females in her battalion or whatever be overweight, not be able to run, do these wimpy puchups and then, AND THEN, complain about the standards being too high. Believe me, I hate it just as much as you.

That's what I like about VMI. One Corps, One Standard. A minimum of 5 pull-ups, 60 sit ups, and a 12:00 1.5 mile run is required, no matter if you're male or female.

The AW :) Lamp is ON and shining brightly.

VMI just changed that on June 30, 2008, and the VMI female cadets all seem to agree it is tragic. all the ones i've spoken to so far seem to feel it is better to fail as a female but keeping one standard for everyone, then to gender norm the standard. since the group it is supposed to benefit is so opposed to gender norming, i just don't really understand why the Institute changed it. :icon_tong

(just the opinion of a vmi pre-strain)

It's OK for females, they're allowed a two year thread resurection time-frame compared to the males two months. :icon_tong

aha! thread resurection is gender-normed? LOL.

but seriously, don't people prefer resurrecting old threads than creating new threads on the same topics? i thought that was the whole point of the "search is your friend" thing. sorry if i misunderstood.

^Perfectly allowable to ressurect a thread if you have something to add... such was the case in this one.

I just felt the need to point oout that we are like 2 or 3 weeks shy of two years since this thread was updated.

Cheers, Bubba
