So it seems that SMA Chandler has been holding Town Hall style meetings over Military is wanting to have women in combat arms. I cannot see how he can make some of the statements that I have read given the statements made by Big Army.<\/a> But I guess that he managed to overcome that hurdle.<\/a> <\/p>\n

“There’s a misconception that female Soldiers won’t have to meet the same standards as male Soldiers or that we’re going to lower standards. That’s just not the case,” Chandler said. “This is about one standard applied equally across the force.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the Army has yet to get a working standard uniform let alone rifle which we have been hearing about for years. But we are going to make a Physical fitness standard across the board. But then they drop this. <\/p>\n

“Many of our standards are outdated and very old. What we’re doing now is looking at the physical requirements for any person, male or female, to serve in an MOS, and once the revised standard is implemented, that will be the standard for anyone to serve in that MOS.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So let me get this straight, their physical requirements will vary from MOS to MOS? I understand that if you have additional training as being Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, and SF that the PT testing while have higher requirements. But these are not MOSs, so at a glance it looked like the PT tests would become individualized to the MOS rather then the universal PT requirements we have today, baring age and gender. So with this in mind how is this moving toward a universal PT standard? <\/p>\n

But if you have a problem with it, your just a trouble maker and need to get with the program. <\/p>\n

“The first and largest obstacle the Army must overcome for integration is the culture,” Chandler said. “There is still a perception in some parts of the Army that female Soldiers won’t be able to do the same things as their male counterparts, or that we won’t be as successful if we have them in combat arms organizations. I think the people saying these things are a vocal minority.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
