WASHINGTON D.C. (WTVR)—A newly released report declares that half of female Marines in boot camp are unable to execute the minimum standard of three pull-ups.

This standard of three pull-ups minimum applies to male and female Marines.

As a result of the data, the Marines have delayed the requirement that was part of the process to equalize physical standards to integrate women into combat jobs.
