Pull-ups for females

Greetings Marines,

I will be shipping out to Parris Island next week and have a question regarding the female IST. Will females be permitted to perform pull-ups, or will they still have to perform the flexed-arm hang? Also, are pull-ups something one can work on over the course of recruit training? I have made significant gains in my pull-up reps during my time in the DEP, and I would hate to regress. Any information you gentlemen and ladies have on this would be great.

Much obliged,
Poolee Brinson

According to the link above, you will still be doing the FAH. Good luck and be sure to report back here once you have earned the title.

Will do, sir.

Good to go. Thank you.
