parkour effect Yeah... I can't remember laughing harder than when I explained to a would be "infantry" female that my basic kit came it at her body weight. That's not counting all the extra shit combat engineers carry as a matter of course. My BASIC kit came in at just over 100 lbs. If you put that on your average woman, she would have a hard time MOVING much less fighting. Hell you'd need to be a female body builder to get to where most men of my unit were coming out of MOS school. On a side note, standards WERE lowered. That's how three women were able to get ranger tabs for a few months. Then got them taken away when the bullshit of how they "earned" them came out. It's also why I endlessly mocked my former service Army coworker. He was an intel guy with a ranger tab. The morning the news broke, I grabbed a velcro ranger tab and stuck it on a maxi pad on his desk.
