According to ALMAR 046/12 the new scoring standard will be as follows:
8 pull-ups – 100 points
7 pull-ups – 95 points
6 pull-ups – 85 points
5 pull-ups – 75 points
4 pull-ups – 65 points
3 pull-ups – 40 points
They can try and dress it up all they want but the fact remains. If they don't meet the same standards then its preferential treatment.
There is no equal rights association on the battlefield. No female rights advocate. If you're weak you get trampled. "Nuff said.
Note: Below you see the old standard. I say old because the flex arm hang for females is dead, but it remains the same for males...make note of the issue here. If a male performs the minimum number of pullups he is credited for 15 points and will be hounded, degraded and punished for the effort. He can basically kiss promotion goodbye and for all the talk of a kinder gentler Marine Corps he will be PT'ed at least twice a day, his life will be a living hell and he'll pray for the next PFT. I've even seen guys request mast to ask for the chance to take the PFT again just so the pain can stop.
