this article reads like this exercise was only recently made a pass/fail requirement in 2012, which is right about the time the pentagon started to loosen restrictions on women in combat, making me think this was made pass/fail then for the sole purpose of eliminating females from the position, or at least making it harder.They're not meeting the same field qualification standards as the male Marine officers, from what several Marine Corps officers I've served with tell me. The infantry life is HARD, especially for Marine Corps 0302 infantry officers.
Edited to add: at this stage in my life, I'm a curmudgeonly old grump when it comes to this stuff, so take anything I say about this in light of that. ;-)
