Gender-neutral Army training sees press-ups and sit-ups dropped

[Dan_Brown]

I know we are all aware of the new Fit test/assessment etc, but now breaking into mainstream:

The RAF standards haven’t changed have they?

 

[Witty_Banter]

Nope, still low.

Oh, you mean RAFFT standards.....

As far as I'm aware our RAFFT remains the same, though I've seen pallets full of jerry cans in the gym, which I'm told are for army FT training.

 

[Dan_Brown]

Haven't seen anything yet, stress 'yet'.

 

[Stevienics]

Dreadfully Army-centric training anyway. I get why we should be able to run away/for cover at short notice, but surely the need to drag and lift anything should be restricted to E Grade MOD civilians.

Assuming it gets adopted as the new standard and the RAF get on board with it can only be a good thing. Given the many threads the goat has had on the topic over the years I guess most on here will welcome gender neutral tests. Many a long whinge and moan on here about females getting it easy with their less arduous fitness test standards etc etc etc ad nausea.

The only shame waiting in the wings is being the first bloke to fail tests that a Doris can pass DT_Xtremez_14:

This the combat test isn’t it, not a replacement for the fitness test.

Perhaps the RAF combat Test could include dragging two wheeled suitcases across a highly polished floor, helping to carry someone home who has no control of their legs and of course standing in line for a good half an hour to represent the rates or MCSU queue.

Seeing this is Gender Neutral how will this effect Transexuals Crossdressers Gender Fluid and LimpDem voters. In light of the time taken to fix false breasts and applying makeup before battle. Would there need to be adjustments in time in donning Ballgowns for above officers or should I get my hatDT_Xtremez_39:

....but what happens if they fail? (and the yoof are not exactly built for robustness these days, are they?)

I can see it now. RAF Transgender Boxing Team vs Army or Navy Trannies! Perhaps it could eventually become an Olympic sport!

In these days of equality, is it mandatory that when going to the bop on the pull you have to try your hand at anyone irrespective of apparent gender (I say apparent because in a dark bop under flashing lights you might easily be misled these days.....)

I'll have to dust off my old taffeta ballgown. Will the pearl necklaces be needed or just the tiara. I'm Chaffing at my thighs already while wearing regulation DMS bootsDT_Xtremez_30:boxer
