In this episode, we sit down with Major Meg Tucker, a U.S. Army veteran who served for 15 years across several sectors of the military. Starting her career as a Kiowa helicopter pilot, Meg later transitioned into psychological operations (PSYOP), where she spent the majority of her time embedded in special operations units. Known for her exceptional physical fitness—scoring the equivalent of a 270 on the men's PT test—Meg brings firsthand insight into the evolving standards of military readiness. We dive deep into the Army’s newly announced sex-neutral physical fitness test for special operations and combat arms, exploring its implications for the future of combat and the inclusion of women in these demanding roles. Meg Tucker shares candid thoughts on gender integration in the military, the challenges women face in elite units, and how her organization, The Valkyrie Project, is empowering the next generation of warrior women through mentorship, training, and advocacy. ___________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #mentors4mil #mentorsformilitary #megtucker #thevalkyrieproject Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.
