On the PRT I had 73 push-ups (and that was touching chest to shoe, thank you) in two minutes and ran the 2 mile in 14 minutes. Unfortunately, my 2-mile time isn’t quite what it used to be, but that’s why I’m conditioning now. :)

heyitsme, please explain to me how allowing women to endeavor at the same training exercises as men will be so much more costly than NOT letting them? Since there are already not that many women in the military, why would there be a sudden rush to try that kind of thing? The only cost I can see coming from it might be time in Congress while they debated the Bill.
