<p>Haha, just yanking ya’lls chain. Of course I know there are physiological reasons. That doesn’t mean I don’t think its funny in a way. I had never heard the SCUBA thing, but its sounds about right as the amount of oxygen you use is proportional to your body weight. Don’t be offended! (I met a number of USNA who are ridiculously sexist, I don’t know about West Point, but those guys complain incessesently that they do 5 miles in the times girls do 3 and blame them for holding them up and everything.) Sounds like it its tough to be a female at one of the academies being that so many people behave that way. BTW, when I went to NASS my squad leader out did my entire squad in PT. She was a rather small woman, probably 5’5", and all the guys in my squad were PT kings in at least one of the events, and a few almost maxed all of them. (She never hit 18 pullups, but everything else she was crazy on).</p>
