Marines delay female fitness test after half fail pull-ups requirements
The U.S. Marine corps has delayed its deadline for new physical requirements after less than half of female recruits could not do the required minimum of three pull-ups.

Intro frame is person doing a chin-up not a pull-up. Back of hand should be seen to be a pull-up. Big difference.
if you can't do a basic exercise, how can you safely protect yourself and others if need? This isnt about pull up its about strength. If you can pull your fallen mate out of line of fire due to lack of strength..what good are you??? Go back to cheesburgers.
