U.S. Army Female Infantry Soldier (Interview) | Joining The Army (2022) 

Like I said a shit solder

So no comment this time

Bailey Bliss what are you talking about?

Ok when you first posted the video you where on my ass cuz I talked shit about may cuz she is a shitty soldier. Now she's getting chaptered out. I just figured you would have something to say back cuz u did last time.

Bailey Bliss damn I barley saw this lol and if you’re in the Army you know how high op tempo can be so obviously I’m not gunna be able to respond as fast every time. Either way, you have your opinion and I have mine, regardless we’re all soldiers.

My thoughts exactly.

Women should not even be in a combat position

@@beyondzeke7586 That, I disagree. If you're a woman and perform the duty as much as other male soldiers, there's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't be able to serve. But the standard shouldn't be lowered for them.

SMDeMEAUX right that makes total sense💯.

Agreed!

That's only a rational argument if PT requirements are measured against physical reality. If they're measured against statistical averages of male bodies, then they're irrelevant for determining the qualifications of a soldier who isn't male. It's like grading on a curve, because it measures the subjective qualities of a person, such as their determination. Doing that is a completely different measurement process as documenting, and then citing environments in physical reality where some empirical quantity of objective Newtons, units of force was the determining factor between the success or failure of a required, or some maximum running velocity was the difference between life and death. That might be the case--the numbers are certainly accurate enough to have been sourced from real physical examples. However, it's unethical to force women to compete at the same level as men... without accepting performance enhancing steroids as a legal option, since naturally women live longer than men, and therefor there exists is some physically measurable, empirical amount of anabolic steroid use that when injected into the female body, on average, would put their life expectancy at or around the same of a male's equivalent, and that amount of steroid use will definitely enhance a female body's muscle growth in an objective way, possibly meeting or exceeding the standards used for PT requirements on: - Male bodies with - naturally higher anabolic steroid presence, and - increased health risks which are the only cited counter-argument presented as to why all soldiers aren't juiced up to as high as they can go from day one; it cuts into your retirement days. Isn't that sweet? So if female soldiers can meet the physical requirements for male performance by closing the gap with testosterone injections, without lowering their expected lifespan below a male's, then there's no ethical argument against offering artificial strength enhancement therapy. That was never a question. The question is, do you want to live in that kind of world? Next up is China genetically enhancing their soldiers--and yes, Chinese doctors know about testosterone injections as well--and beyond that is cybernetic organ-enhancement. I don't know if that's going be limbs or brains first, but honestly it's kinda' looking like it might be chips in your brains, so if you're all going to argue from your chairs about what is or isn't good for the future of humanity, what it is exactly that the troops are fighting for in the youtube comments section, then why don't you tackle the actual issue at hand which is where should the U.S. military branches draw the line when it comes to artificially circumventing the natural limitations imposed on us by our humanity? Y'know, Russia tried to splice chimpanzee DNA into humans after getting a hold of Darwin's theory of Evolution. It didn't work out in those experiments, but not because it's impossible. It didn't produce plausible specimens because they didn't know what the hell they were doing, or what kind of molecule DNA was at that time. Now, we know how to do it. So here's the ultimate question, that's going to put you into the same frame of mind that every female soldier has to go through when they want to work with the system in place to serve their country. if a chimpanzee can lift more weight than male soldier, then why aren't male soldiers forced to take anabolic steroids and inject chimpanzee DNA into their muscle tissues, until they're as fast and strong as a chimp? If it wasn't forced, would you volunteer for it? It could be the difference between that promotion, or saving your fellow combatants *lives.* Would you be comfortable knowing that you let people _die_ all because you didn't want to become a stronger, faster, (and definitely hairier) super monkey-man? (Sidenote: chimps are apes, not monkeys, the alliteration was for effect.) What about if China already has Humanzee soldiers in the field and we don't? That's what the difference in the male and female PT tests is really about. Replace 'male' with 'Roided-out-monkey-man, and 'female' with 'male,' and it's all the exact same arguments over again.

Lady Mercy stfu y’all feminist wanna pick and choose y’all want all the benefits of being a man but don’t want to deal wit the same shi wit do.

How about not lowering standard for men and raising women to the same standard? completely dumb. I don't want a female who can't carry my weight next to me in a fight. Just political that its a thing. they should compare her pt score to his with his standards and see how she sits. Bet its not a 270 something

Hey Sam, just a friendly FYI- the Army APFT consists of 2 minutes of push ups, 2 minutes of sit ups, and a 2 mile run. Only the US Air Force does a 1.5 mile run. Now I’d like to think perhaps this young woman is an outlier from those women who have successfully made into the infantry. My reasoning is this. I am a 3rd year AROTC cadet and our direction is that especially if you are trying to go infantry you must aim above just the bare minimums. So a lot of women in our program have a record or maxing their PT scores- 300 points. My score is a 284, that’s 42 push ups, 72 sit ups, and a 16:30 2 mile. I am on the lower scale- we have a female PT stud who runs a 15:00-15:30 2 mile and consistently gets 300s. Neither of us are looking to branch infantry but we like keeping up the standard. You will find more women than you are open to believing that are like this. Also- everyone has their feet held for sit ups, it’s the standard, fingers have to be interlocked behind the head and a battle buddy holds your feet- male and female alike. Idk why you added it in like it was some sort of special treatment given. Also, that was 10-15 years ago man, that’s a long time. It’s 2020 and the Army now how the ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) which there is no separate or “easier” standards for women. Everyone has the same standards- combat MOS have to score higher. So really there’s no reason for guys to be like “ women have it easier etc etc” in this day and age.

​@@arabellahall9907 I am comparing the fitness standard of these 'G.I Janes' to that of a Rifleman graduating from the Singleton School of Infantry. I have yet to see one who could physically hang with these soldiers. It isn't uncommon to see Rifleman who run sub 8's in the One and Half Mile run and still manage to hull around 130 pounds in a ruck march for hours on straight. I honestly believe allowing women in direct combat roles is a detriment to the capability of our military.

I am, WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE IN COMBAT MOSs PERIOD

@LordDirus007 I've met a few women in the infantry that can outperform their male peers. It does happen, but there shouldn't be exceptions made to the physical standards for the ones who can't just because the pentagon wants the statistics to look good.

Zane Cutshaw bro that’s what I’m saying, if they can preform that’s all I care about! I don’t care about gender at all.

Ben Allen dude Ik what you mean but there is a reason women weren’t allowed in the infantry till now and heck they get special treatment at basic right of the bat and let’s not forget there lower pt standards, she’s a liability. I went to basic with her and she got recycled and it’s not like she was doing the pt I was doing she was doing pt at a lowered standard!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@luisitosantiago6098 the standards should all be the same in basic and ait

anangelsstar they aren’t. I wish

@@eos2338 Says the incel commenting negatively on someone's video meant to give people information. You look like the piece of shit to me.

oooo you're so mad

@Chris Ruiz that makes men seem weaker right there.

@@Locopueblo Well being completely honest, if I were to perform on the female standard, I would greatly exceed a 300

@xanny he’s just being chivalrous !!

It's ideological.

It doesn’t though. Sit-ups and push-ups don’t = combat skill lol.

@@YetiTurmoil Actually it does. Physical strength and endurance is a HUGE portion of being an infantry soldier. When I was with the 25th ID I would ROUTINLY hump 170 pounds of combat gear through some of the roughest terrain in the United States for up to 12 miles. There is not a woman on the PLANET that could do that. I had a guy in my squad who was 6'11 320 pounds, any time we had wargames the OC's would say he was a casualty in order to see if we could carry him. At 6 feet tall and 170 pounds with 5% body fat, I fireman carried him 800 yards. Again I doubt there is a woman on the PLANET that could do that.

They don’t and they have lower standards for females to do 340lbs death lift takes years, fucking hell it took me some time to go from 280 to 340lbs. I am strong but fuck I still have problem dragging a 200lbs + dude with full kit on.

@@11bsavage64 I'm looking at it not bieng equal not only for men but also for women. You would think some women especially in the infantry would see the lowered standards as a slap in the face like since they're a women we don't think your strong enough type of deal. A women should not just want to meet the standard but pass the men standard as well you know.

@@kristinacornwellburr4606 have you ever experienced combat ? It's not a playground or a place for political correctness.

Lmfao

Didn't you hear? Wars are all about "feelings" now and "tolerance". We can't leave out the females in combat MOS's, can we? Even if it endangers lives? Noooooooo!

It’s army what do you expect... motherfuckers marine grunts are still rough as nails

Shit. Marines are just as pussified now as the army. In Marine Officer Infantry training now they have even changed the initial PT test from pass/fail to a "diagnostic" test. In other words, just do the best you can. If you don't think training and standards have been changed to accommodate females, then you are grossly out of touch.

‘’Once an infantryman always an infantryman’’ I love your sarcasm lol

Tsar Peter I it’s the angle

Charlie Keiner 😂

you're a doctor...a trainer?

Sit ups are the same but push ups and the 2 mile are less. Its bullshit and most females I know think it should be the same as men

Can't be as vulgar to them either.

Feel it. Feel it. How long have you/were you in? And your scores?

@@elisset.1691 4 years, 290ish consistent.

@@al11220 interesting. Love that, love that. Infantry? And do you truly feel because of a PT test her actual time in doing the job actively daily makes her less qualified overall?

Mcbr33zy Brown thanks bro!

Ben Allen no problem man!!!

Doesn't change the fact that she graduated having to meet much lower physical standards than you did!

Bob Dean in the platoons yes, but you all sleep in different buildings!

They sleep in different buildings, have different pt standards. A pure definition of equality

I think (and this is coming from someone who’s legally blind themselves) that if someone with disabilities can vote, has to serve on a jury, paid taxes like everyone else, and can perform the duties associated with a certain job wit reasonable accommodations, then they should be able to join. That’s why I’m working on completing (and getting as close to maxing out on) ALL the various branches’ PT tests, and posting the final videos of me doing them online, to show people that yes, someone may be legally blind or have a slight limp, but they could be the next Bill Gates that could be really good with technology and could help win the first cyberwar. It’s 2020, and in my opinion, time for change.

In particular, non-combat MOS’s. To s certain extent, I get the argument that if crap hits the fan, they need to be able to deploy everyone. They’ve got three million people in already, including guard and reserves. If they let more people join, those people could stay domestic or overseas in non-combat areas and could still be of great use.

great idea. we can push people in wheelchairs during combat

Mike Hascats what I meant was that they could do the desk jobs during those times. We still need people doing those jobs.

@@bradencutright-head6629 I admire your guts, but the physical training standards for ground combat should be high, and not compromised.

That's awesome! I'm glad you look up to your sister!

Dont they still bleed on the field when not wounded?

But thats not going to happen.

I kinda agree with this if u can ruck that 240 shoot accurate and keep up with us then fuck it kinda ok ward tho because it seems like everyone is going to be worried about you instead of doing there job because it’s a lil diff when a man goes down as opposed to a female idk when I was in there were no females aloud 2011. What I wanna know is during combatives are the guys going easy on you or are you beating them or what kinda curious about that.

@brandonchamberlain4627 idk man some of them women could put most guys on the ground mostly because element of surprise no offense to women I support full equality but as a line infantryman I don't think they should be there too many things too worry about look at Normandy for instance that was a tough push through sand under fire with everything you could carry

General Porpoise can you send me a link?

@@TheBenAllen. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nv5z3qwIe9w.html

It’s female standard, the army is slowly intergrading into gender neutral pt standard in 2020 if I remember correctly.

Here is the gender neutral standard 75% on male standards simple

@@XxPandaMaleexX And it's ruining the millitary

Women should not be in infantry

estevan martinez Exactly some women are just doing it so that they can prove a point that women can do it.

sorry in my BCT COMPANY SHE OUT DID

PT doesn't really mean squat in the field. I guarantee she would be a liability in the field when asked to carry a 120 pound combat load.

Based on what you said, I have the highest respect for that individual. My gripe is with the females that couldn't or didn't meet the same standards as a male.

She's going to jail for shoplifting cosmetics from the PX

Justin Stone lol what

Exactly i dont see the problem

Ashley M yet

Problem is she couldn’t. I was in the weapons squad with her and she was garbage.

Jimmy Wilkes i feel bad for everyone taking that new test males and female alike are looking to fail.

Ben Allen a nice thinning of the herd is probably for the better.

Yeah for reals!

The ACFT is significantly easier lol

@@TheBenAllen. only if they’re fat POS

Rain Negan for life bro! And congrats on making the switch!

Because if you were paying attention I’m on the male scale she’s on the female scale so her 270 is still lower than my 260 lol

No such thing

Jan 6th?

If you can ruck with 100lbs on your back in full kit in 12 miles under 3 hours and knock out 65 pushups 68 situps in 2 minutes and run 14:00 2 miles and still be able to push more afterwards your fine. Also when you deploy you might be in AO in Afghanistan where you won't be able to shower and under constant attack. If you slow down and can't keep up someone or yourself might die. Also get used to rucking up a mountain in full kit with 70lbs+. Infantry units should be able get up a 6 mile mountain in winter around 3 hours. Remember lives matter any moment your slow in engaging the enemy properly or mentally someone or yourself will get hurt or die. Taliban are going to care who you are.

Congrats, Stella!

You're a fool to join 11b you can't perform as well as males.

Thats just sad

I never appreciated a snitch so much. Thank you.

Jacques Bonny 😂😂😂😂😂

Integrity is one of the army values and she just broke it just saying

You ain't talking shit about CPL May are you? What a tool, if you are going to talk shit about her have the decency to ID yourself, keyboard warrior.

@@1cristianfl I’m starting to think that you’re a troll.

Well why would you want to watch someone take a shit in the first place? No one is forcing you to watch someone shit lol

lmao do i bet your yuppie ass hasn't even served. stfu.

@@Locopueblo that's literally irrelevant and doesn't change the truth of his statement

I'm sure that's on her scale!

That's a 199 on the male score assuming she like 21 or something...

she's 19, but either way a score is a score.

Loren RB I completely agree! Also, Thank You! I will!

Yeah but she can’t so

Well good thing this isn’t 1990, and if soldiers are having their hearts broken and Senior NCOs are catching cases then they are lacking the discipline and are the problem not the female.

@@TheBenAllen. It isn't just that dude, a female in a squad is a DISTRACTION, it is BIOLOGY and asking young men not to notice is an act of futility. I made E5 in 2 1/2 years, when I went to PLDC I was the only infantryman in my platoon, the rest were supply, MI, medical, etc. So when it came time for field week, I was in charge all week. I treated the women in my platoon as equals and cut them NO SLACK and the men in my platoon HATED me for it. They were always trying to interfere when one of the women would start boo hoo'ing because they couldn't hack it when it was their turn to carry the M-60 machine gun or the radio. We were on patrol and I had one girl claim she got bit in the face by a centipede, in Hawaii they have huge centipedes that can get six inches long or longer. They bite is incredible painful. I examined her face where she claimed to have been bitten and there was no bite marks, redness or swelling so I knew she was faking it because fatigue had made a coward out of her. I didn't stop the mission, I made her hold onto the back of my LBE as we continued the mission since she claimed she couldn't see. I was trying to set up a perimeter and the guys were leaving their positions to come back to the CP to check on her and generally fawn all over her. I damn near had to kick them in the ass to get them back to their positions. Having women in the infantry is a no win situation for ANYONE.

Have you served in a combat MOS? if not you have no voice here...@@TheBenAllen.

Tanya Szabo haha it’s one of my go to words lol

Ben Allen nice video though 👍

Listen high speed someone better tell this private to forget about EIB and worry about how to clear a room, what to do when your rifle jams and general weapon proficiency because noone gives a fuck about eib but what we do care about is that you know what to do when haji is firing at your checkpoint

If I was her team leader she would already be doing flutter kicks till I'm tired...

Also tell her to fix her uniform and to build a kit that dosent look like a trash tactical tailor should be stop 1

Jonathan De Leon thanks bro! It really means a lot 😌🔥

That'll never happen

I agree 100%, really paving the way for the future!

She SAYS she wants to upkeep standards across the board, but that's just lip service. The military has spent millions to subtly lower standards and change training over the last few years to accommodate these females entering combat MOS's. It's awesome from a political perspective, sure, but when we have to fight someone with a pulse like Russia or China, reality will set in quick.

She meant on the female scale

That's sad especially out of basic. You've been for a bit to and your pt score is low especially for being in for a few years.

Daniel Pickrell yeah man I’m not a pt stud, I show up, do the test and get on with my day

Well she was a bad example of what women should be in the infantry. If your going to promote don't unless you can find a female that can average 75% on male standards and can do 12 miles with 70lbs + in 3 hours also be able to do the spur ride with cav scouts easily. You are proving why females should not be in combat arms plus I heard she stole from the PX which violates a basic army value.

Daniel Pickrell i could have had any female infantryman on here and all the comments would be the same man, people will always find a way to tear someone down, and you know as well as I do that not every soldier, the good ones included, live up to the values.

Shut your dumbass up simp.

@@AmericanMGTOW lmaooooo I’m dying

If a female is outperforming 3/4 of your company with a 270 pt score on a female scale your company needs more PT.

@@fonzie2098facts bro! There’s a problem there!

They lowered the standards

As and old infantryman ill say this, because you have a different standard doesn't mean you cant achieve a higher standard. I think if it was me I would strive for the male standard then no one could say shit about it. I don't have a particular problem with women in the infantry other than in that particular job the standards should be the same across the board. An experience I had in P.L.D.C. We had a 6.3ft M.P. and a female in my squad. We're on a force march and that damn M.P. would not stop whining, drove me up the wall. I was humping the 60 and she was humping the radio. we would switch out. I'm a short guy sort of stocky, she had a very high pitched voice which I thought was humorous given the situation. She helped me more carrying the extra equipment without complaint than that damn M.P. The whole thing was kinda hilarious to me but it goes to show you the individual makes the difference. its always risky to make across the board pronouncements. Good luck to you.
