Ist

[Walking Cow]

Evening Marines, I went to this site : http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marinejoin/l/blist.htm to check up on IST requirements and I noticed the MINIMUM required pullups for males is down to two. And I was always told it was three? Also may I add, the situps are also down about 10 I think. WHY? Is it becuase too many fat bodies rolling (literally) around? A pretty pathetic question but my curiosity out grows my nose. Thanks.

That isn't lower. The numbers you are thinking about are the minimums to pass the PFT. The IST standards were the same when I enlisted in 1995. (other than being situps and not crunches)

Ah thanks Cpl. My mistake.
