Almost all the training I gave and received in my 10 years, 99-2000 went almost exactly like this. From Bragg to Korea, 18th AB, 82nd, 3rd AC,
My basic training was separated by gender, but ONLY basic was. AIT, and all other job related training was not. Female rucksack weight limit was 35lbs, while males was 70lbs. (Our gear and supplies weigh almost exactly the same though). The weight limits go up with special forces/rangers/delta but so do the qualifiers to get in.
I carried this, 'out of shape' young 20s female through an open field during a live fire exercise when she was deemed a casualty, another squad member carried her pack. In full battle rattle, including gas masks on and she had the nerve to bitch that we threw her into the back of the hummer too roughly.
I was an NBC trainer at camp Stanley Korea for a year and a half, the difference in males and females in this arena is life threateningly scary.
Guess who the 60 gunner NEVER is, Mark 19 as well.
Had a radio specialist who couldn't carry her pack, radio, and wire all at once and always needed someone to assist her on patrol. A man would have been removed from this duty and reassigned. This girl was coddled, as were most.
Literally had a single PFC female decide to get pregnant to avoid a 45 day field problem. It worked, (she learned this tactic from another female soldier). You get LOTS of perks if you are prego in the military,
Extended field training always sucked because while the men would pack extra heavy for these, rations and supplies that are key in the field, most(not all) of the women would pack lighter because field training usually meant a lot of humping with your gear on your back. This always leads to the women leeching off the men near the end of the training exercises creating the worst drama while they compete against each other for.
I could story all day on this disparity, it's sadly infuriating how much it has weakened our forces. SJW shit doesn't stack in combat roles.
