'That's one of those myths ... that women can't do pull-ups. But we have it on video now.' Spare us. We have her on video all right - doing two. Male Marines who can do 20 are a dime a dozen. Nobody actually argues that 'women can't do pull-ups.' Some women can't do any. Some men can't do any. But if you test well-conditioned athletes - swimmers for instance, who typically can do lots of pull-ups - you will find that on average, top-ranked women will be able to do fewer than top-ranked men. How many fewer? I'd bet fewer than half as many. I would be easy to tabulate pull-up results from the final PFTs at TBS and MCRD, break them down by sex and average them out. I am quite sure the Marines have crunched those numbers and would have been happy to share them with '60 Minutes,' had the reporter bothered to ask.
My Late Neighbor Was A WW2 Marine In The Pacific,,,,,,,He Was On Tarawa & Saipan & Tinian !! After The Battle Of Fallujah I Asked Him "Do You Think Today's Young Marines Are As Tough As The Old School Marines Like Smedley Butler & Dan Daly" He Never Hesitated For Half A Second & Said " Oh Yes I Think So" Well There You Go Young Marines,,,,,,,Praise From A Pacific Marine Who Served In Hell On Tarawa & Saipan !!
I had been taught to wear my covers with two fingers from bridge of my nose to the brim or front of the cover. One may not always have the availability/convenience of a mirror to see their brow-line, but one’s nose bridge never moves!
I swore in at the Alfred P Murrah building in July 1988. The Commanding Officer at that time was Major G. A Bizack. Such a tragedy. Fair winds and following seas.... Semper Fidelis
Krulak is an absolute FRAUD, just like so many of the so-called "leaders" in the military. This FRAUD is a boot-licking, kowtowing, LIBERAL who is bowing down to Joe plagiarism Biden. Do your research. A complete waste of a uniform, unworthy not only of any "brass" on his collar, unworthy to be referred to as a "Marine", but also unworthy to be even referred to as an "American". We had a name for his kind when I served: SEA LAWYER. Self-serving, self-absorbed, and DISGUSTING.
"That's one of those myths, women can't do pull-ups." No myth. Of those female Marines, likely the hardest-trained, that opted to be pull-up tested the average was 7-8 repetitions. If a male completes 7-8 repetitions they will receive between 50-55%. The reality, strength must meet endurance.
There is an error in the film clip description. Marine #2 IS NOT PFC Rene Gagnon. In 2019, the Marine Corps said the man in the #2 position, who is mostly obscured and barely visible, is not Gagnon but Cpl. Harold “Pie” Keller, previously unknown. Both Schultz (position 5) and Keller were not positively identified until 2016/2019 respectively. The 2 misidentified men never came forward and claimed to be in the picture - for their entire lifetime.
Just to be clear, John Bradley was never in the second famous photograph. Yet he went on war bond tours, posed for the memorial sculpture and was a celebrity knowing full well he wasn’t in that second flag raising picture. His kid cashed in and wrote a book saying he was the guy. Clint Eastwood made a movie saying he was the guy. Wow.
