Marine officials are uncertain whether women will be required to perform pullups with the development of new service-wide fitness standards, but a strongly worded message from the commandant encourages personnel to continue building upper body strength in anticipation of a modification to the Physical Fitness Test. Any changes are delayed until at least June 30, according to the message. Even if women are required to begin performing pullups, they will have until the start of the next PFT season on Jan. 1, 2015, a Marine spokeswoman at the Pentagon said. Until then, female Marines will have the option of doing pullups or the traditional flexed-arm hang, which they must hold for at least 15 seconds to earn a passing score. Recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Deport Parris Island, S.C., will continue to perform pullups to allow the service to gather more data.
