You went out of your way to assume her requirements for physical fitness have been waived. LOL. She doesn’t look like an advertisement for physical fitness, does she? I’d call my take an educated guess? Do you think she could meet the physical fitness requirements, absent a waiver? I have no idea. Have you never seen a military officer who didn't look like the picture of physical fitness before? It was this one you chose to assume couldn't hack it without a waiver.

Do you think she could meet the physical fitness requirements, absent a waiver? I figured I'd look that up, and all told, not very educated. Here's the standard for a man in her age bracket. 34 pushups 38 situps Two miles at a 9:09 pace I promise you, a person can look like shit and finish that, especially one with access to the slightest bit of training. Did you actually think every 40-year-old desk jockey in the Army was sculpted and swole? (FWIW, those numbers drop to 13 pushups and something well below a 10 minute mile for women)

I’ve worked with some pretty high-ranking officers who look worse than that. Mostly on the research side of the house.
My old CO failed her PT test on the first try pretty much every year.

I could probably run a 9:09 mile backward, for crying out loud. And I'm 62.

The people I know who have had trouble with the test aren’t exactly the ones who would be storming the beach at Normandy.

Incredible victory, especially when you consider how beautiful Dutch women are.

We walked by what appeared to be a Pride event of some sort in Portland, Oregon, last night. Looked like they were having a hell of a time. (Mostly just looked like a packed outdoor bar with loud music, but everyone was wearing rainbow gear and such and everyone was a dude.)

Don’t they know their month to be gay in public is over? They were rubbing it in everyone’s faces.

When I lived in Atlanta, that sounds like every night at some of the places around 10th and Piedmont.

So not so happy Pride in Ontario.
“I want to take a couple minutes to express to you some of my feelings about yesterday,” the teacher said. “We, as a staff at Northwood, were incredibly hurt by the statement you made yesterday for those of you who didn’t come. And, for those of you who were here, I apologize. You need to understand how hurt and disappointed we are in those actions.”
“Nobody in the school is asking you to be gay: we are asking you to be respectful and kind. That is it. And yesterday did not show respect and kindness, and I am disgusted!” the educator says, audibly angry.
In response to the widespread absence, the teacher as well as other staff members decided to deck the school out in LGBT paraphernalia, including rainbows. “All the rainbows you see around the school was because very few people came yesterday and the teachers are angry.”
