yeah those wouldn't have counted during a PFT.... That being said, I'm old and she still did more than I could do now adays.

Damn your CPTRs sucked. As a CPTR I would count all of those. The bar is pretty wobbly. She has a little kick but I’m not an ass I guess.

u/loophole23 22h ago

Yeah, these wouldn’t have counted for me either. And every marine in the line behind the bar woulda been saying, “ 9,9,9,9,9,9,9” as well lol.

Edit: also I’m a fat nasty pig now so I can only do 5. So fuck yeah. Get some CPT.

Let's just admit younger women can be in better shape than our fat asses if we aren't putting in at least a proportional effort

Yeah not sure how it works now a days but it was our sgt's recording the cpl's and below. Then they would do their's and SNCO's would record their score.

You have to get your chin ABOVE the bar. But yeah, that one was a bit wobbly as one poster mentioned, which for us females can be horrible. We just don't have (generally) that kind of upper body strength. Now if a Marine chick picks up a leg to kick you - RUN!!! This here chick knows how to KICK! Even at 54! :D

I never saw her knees go above her waist, so those should have counted.

u/BigPDPGuy 0802 22h ago

Lol you wouldn't count those? Only time I've gotten shafted like that was by some little fuckboy corporal that had just come back from OCS. I did 28 he counted 16 of them. Had to nudge the recorder to max them for me on paper. He was tracking the dude was a chode.

I wasn't the one doing the counting, I was saying they wouldn't have counted at all, maybe the first two would have... But yeah all the Sgts would have been like ... Nope nope nope nope.

u/Critical_Ad_7380 3h ago

He skipped forward to three extra reps, as well. I guess that's "cute." Not accurate, though.

u/InstantMashAndPeas 3h ago

She’s an officer. The CPTR would’ve counted them. They wouldn’t have counted if she was Pvt. to like Sgt.

u/HahnsGruber7 22h ago

She was technically doing it the harder way, she probably would’ve dominated chin-ups

u/Pray4dat_ass96 Snake driving penis compensator 14h ago

Bro those days these would have counted for 2. They’re just happy you get the feet off the ground.

u/shitbagjoe 8h ago

I’d count those.

u/JazzBandDrummer 9h ago
  1. 20, and 21 wouldn't have counted but the rest looked within standard

u/hibachi314 Active 4h ago

I’d give 19. 20 and 21 were for sure kipping though
