As a male Marine, I believe females in the military should undergo the same fitness tests that all males are forced to take. As a male Marine running 21 minute 3-mile, 100 crunches and 20 pullups, I am considered less fit then a female running 23 minute 3-mile, 100 crunches and 6 pullups. So therefore they are able to earn better composite scores and promotions then males due to their gender. If it is time for females to fight in combat with the males, then it is time they fall under the same fitness standards as we male military members.
