But you and I both know they will. Everybody bitches that women can do the job just as well as a man. Well if that's the case why do they only need to do 20 sit ups, 30 push ups, AND get an additional 5mins on their run times? Men are required to perform three times as much to pass physical standards. Speaking from personal experience the Navy is full of double standards when it comes to the women.
