No room for flopping Tits in the Army......
Combat Support: The Army Looks to Field Better Sports Bras
19 Oct 2020
Stars and Stripes
The Army is surveying female soldiers to help pick the best sports bras on the market for a standard issue item, as the service seeks to field equipment better designed for women.
"As an increasing number of female Soldiers assume combat roles, the emphasis on the acquisition of female specific [issued clothing and gear] and [personal protective equipment] is becoming greater," the Army personnel division's Uniform Policy Branch said in a message earlier this month.

It urged wide distribution of an online survey to female soldiers. Their feedback will help officials choose the "best performing commercial-off-the-shelf" product and identify any needed improvements to the undergarments it makes available to troops and trainees, it said.
Women have been issued athletic bras ahead of deployments in the past. But earlier this year the Army Uniform Board called on the service to prioritize research into improving the quality and functionality of athletic bras issued to women in basic training or preparing to deploy.
It was among several recommendations aimed at improving gear for women. These include a physical fitness uniform for pregnant soldiers and the Hot Weather Combat Uniform-Female as an optional uniform.

The Army also has several programs to improve body armor for women, including helmets to fit hair buns, bomb suits to fit men and women with smaller builds and improved devices for urinating while in the field, USA Today reported last week.
An earlier attempt to field an official sports bra yielded an item that wasn't suitable for all body types, the Army said in late 2018.
The new survey, which is being conducted by the CCDC Solider Center, can be found here. Responses must be completed by Oct. 30.

The ladies are having their fun jumping out of planes, being action-girls like the chicks in the movies...
The fun stops when the shooting starts. The fun stops when you've been in the bush three months and you've lost 30-pounds, your teeth are loose and the only bath you had was in a brown river two weeks ago.
Not much fun humping 80-pounds of gear--your own and squad organics--for miles over rough terrain at night and in all kinds of weather, thinking every time you put your boot down your leg might get blown off...or any turn up ahead might lead into an ambush.
Ain't all it's cracked up to be, ladies...but we might have to have another war for the lesson to sink in. In the meantime enjoy the custom-made underwear.

by and large, your post is right... BUT... I always have to remind of the FEW really bad-azzed females that served with the VC.... one was so good, she was sent out to try to collect the bounty on Carlos Hathcock.... she didn't quite make it , but she WAS good, and was VERY DEADLY.... still, you are mostly right, and with the few exceptions, the "progressives, cutsey-cutsey girls, and the ones that want to prove they are as good as any man".. will fall by the wayside, but the ones that stick, you can rest assured WILL be "bad-azzed", and do not mess with them when their PMS is building..... JMHO, of course....

That's true, Top. There are female warriors who will pack the gear. If they can meet or exceed the same requirements of their combat MOSs that men have to achieve--without watering down those requirements--more power to them.
Women warriors have proven themselves in support arms, flying combat missions in fixed wing and rotor. The toughest ones are proving themselves in ground combat training pipelines.
So I amend what I've written above. There are exceptions, as you point out. And to be fair, when the SHTF and you find yourself up hell creek, you're not going to give a damn who comes to help you get the heck out of it.
