are you serious
Men are officially required to only do 3 pullups, but if they do that do you know how much shit they get from their command? There's some units out there that'll put you on remedial PT schedules and non-recommend you for promotion if you're a male and not doing at least 12.
If you can't do three pullups, regardless of gender, you do not belong in the United States Marine Corps. It's not some impossible feat for women, either, there's a female Marine in my unit who can do over 20 easily.
for the record, if a woman does eight pullups, it's a perfect score and equivalent to a man doing 20, meaning she's more likely to get promoted and get high Proficiency/Conduct Marks (which leads to more career opportunities) for doing less.
