Kind of burying the lede with the headline. I haven't been in the Army in nearly 15 years and hadn't heard of the standing power throw, but sex neutral standards are a pretty massive change. Women being graded on the men's scale are going to have an extremely hard time. My wife from back then routinely scored near 400 on the extended scale, well above the maximum for a woman, but was a full two minutes slower than me on the two-mile. We didn't do the deadlift, but we did it recreationally and I lifted triple what she did, not a huge surprise since she was barely 110 lbs.<p>Of course, women couldn't legally serve in combat roles at all back then, so they've still got a better shot now even if they need to meet male standards.
