The Army tuck is different from the tuck that dudes that swim against women in college do. No more having to perform an exercise with a high failure rate. Because doing extra training to successfully complete the challenge is too hard and might cause someone to need a safe space.

The pussification of the US military service will continue until the armed forces resembles a poorly organized girl scout troop.

Army revamps fitness exam, kicks out leg tuck requirement​

Army leaders are kicking out the requirement that soldiers do at least one leg tuck as part of the new physical fitness test.
The leg tuck, said Hibbard, was the “number one failed event for both men and women,” as well as for older soldiers.

“As you look at those service members who have been in the Army, especially fifteen, twenty years and have never been asked to build the upper body strength necessary to do a pull up or do a leg tuck, it gets significantly harder as they get older to build that strength," said Hibbard, commander of the Army's Center for Initial Military Training.
