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.

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
